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 td500 --task det \
    --image_dir path/to/MSRA-TD500/train/ \
    --label_dir path/to/MSRA-TD500/train \
    --output_path path/to/MSRA-TD500/train_det_gt.txt

python tools/dataset_converters/convert.py \
    --dataset_name td500 --task det \
    --image_dir path/to/MSRA-TD500/test/ \
    --label_dir path/to/MSRA-TD500/test \
    --output_path path/to/MSRA-TD500/test_det_gt.txt

Then you can have two annotation files train_det_gt.txt and test_det_gt.txt under the folder MSRA-TD500/.
