Data Preparation

For Detection Task

To prepare the data for text detection, you can run the following commands:

python tools/dataset_converters/convert.py \
    --dataset_name casia10k --task det \
    --image_dir path/to/CASIA-10K/train/ \
    --label_dir path/to/CASIA-10K/train \
    --output_path path/to/CASIA-10K/det_gt.txt

The generated standard annotation file det_gt.txt will now be placed under the folder CASIA-10K/.
