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 ctw1500 --task det \
    --image_dir path/to/ctw1500/train_images/ \
    --label_dir path/to/ctw1500/ctw_1500_train_labels \
    --output_path path/to/ctw1500/train_det_gt.txt

python tools/dataset_converters/convert.py \
    --dataset_name ctw1500 --task det \
    --image_dir path/to/ctw1500/test_images/ \
    --label_dir path/to/ctw1500/gt_ctw_1500 \
    --output_path path/to/ctw1500/test_det_gt.txt

Then you can have two annotation files train_det_gt.txt and test_det_gt.txt under the folder ctw1500/.
