Importer

class cocohelper.importer.Importer[source]

Bases: object

Importer can generate COCOHelper objects from a generic interface.

We delegate to DatasetAdapter hierarchy the strategy used to load data from another dataset. Importer expect that a DatasetAdapter is provided and use it to load data in an understandable format, generating a new COCOHelper object.

This can be used to convert from an arbitrary dataset format to the COCO format.

Parameters:

adapter – DatasetAdapter to use.

Method List

create(out_coco_dir[, ann_dir, img_dir, ...])

Generate the new COCOHelper, and optionally save it.
