I'm training a YOLO model, I have the bounding boxes in this format:-
x1, y1, x2, y2 => ex (100, 100, 200, 200)
I need to convert it to YOLO format to be something like:-
X, Y, W, H => 0.436262 0.474010 0.383663 0.178218
I already calculated the center point X, Y, the height H, and the weight W. But still need a away to convert them to floating numbers as mentioned.
YOLO normalises the image space to run from 0 to 1 in both x
and y
directions. To convert between your (x, y)
coordinates and yolo (u, v)
coordinates you need to transform your data as u = x / XMAX
and y = y / YMAX
where XMAX
, YMAX
are the maximum coordinates for the image array you are using.
This all depends on the image arrays being oriented the same way.
Here is a C function to perform the conversion
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <math.h>
struct yolo {
float u;
float v;
};
struct yolo
convert (unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int XMAX, unsigned int YMAX)
{
struct yolo point;
if (XMAX && YMAX && (x <= XMAX) && (y <= YMAX))
{
point.u = (float)x / (float)XMAX;
point.v = (float)y / (float)YMAX;
}
else
{
point.u = INFINITY;
point.v = INFINITY;
errno = ERANGE;
}
return point;
}/* convert */
int main()
{
struct yolo P;
P = convert (99, 201, 255, 324);
printf ("Yolo coordinate = <%f, %f>\n", P.u, P.v);
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}/* main */
