Loading Custom dataset

[sahusiddharth]

I really struggling with loading the custom data for object detection task, can you please point me some resources where i can learn, or can get a reference to get started.

The project I'm currently working on has a 3 directories and each directory has 2 directories [images, labels]. they images are of jpeg format and labels are in text file with 4 numbers xyxy separated by a space are divided into test and train

class 1
|-----images
| |-------test
| |-------train
|
|-----labels
|-------test
|-------train
class 2
|-----images
| |-------test
| |-------train
|
|-----labels
|-------test
|-------train
class 3
|-----images
| |-------test
| |-------train
|
|-----labels
|-------test
|-------train

Hi @sahusiddharth, I recommend https://keras.io/api/data_loading/

@jbischof Thank you,

The resource you suggested is helpful, but in case of object detection we have a bounding box as the label and that generally is stored in a single csv file or in multiple text files

how can i combine them for the usage in object detection ?
