### **YOLO Format**

[YOLO format](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/detect/#ultralytics-yolo-format) is also supported by A.Lab. Below is an example of annotated ripe and unripe tomatoes. In this example, `0` represents ripe tomatoes and `1` represents unripe ones.

<figure><img src="/files/ogtD9vh1uirB2nNIxk18" alt=""><figcaption><p>Tomatoes Image</p></figcaption></figure>

Annotating it in A.Lab.

<figure><img src="/files/DXvDw0UDhriRB42E6zrR" alt=""><figcaption><p>Annotating Tomatoes</p></figcaption></figure>

The label of the above image are as follows:

```
0 0.213673 0.474717 0.310212 0.498856
0 0.554777 0.540507 0.306350 0.433638
1 0.378432 0.681239 0.223970 0.268879
```

Applying the generated labels we get following results.

### Normalization process of YOLO annotations

**Example Conversion**

To convert non-normalized bounding box coordinates (xmax, ymax, xmin, ymin) to YOLO format (xcenter, ycenter, width, height):

<figure><img src="/files/lOgQTRor4ibInjZkVfCu" alt=""><figcaption><p>YOLO Annotation Normalization (Credit: Leandro de Oliveira)</p></figcaption></figure>

```python
# Assuming row contains your bounding box coordinates
row = {'xmax': 400, 'xmin': 200, 'ymax': 300, 'ymin': 100}
class_id = 0  # Example class id (replace with actual class id)

# Image dimensions
WIDTH = 640  # annotated image width
HEIGHT = 640  # annotated image height

# Calculate width and height of the bounding box
width = row['xmax'] - row['xmin']
height = row['ymax'] - row['ymin']

# Calculate the center of the bounding box
x_center = row['xmin'] + (width / 2)
y_center = row['ymin'] + (height / 2)

# Normalize the coordinates
normalized_x_center = x_center / WIDTH
normalized_y_center = y_center / HEIGHT
normalized_width = width / WIDTH
normalized_height = height / HEIGHT

# Create the annotation string in YOLO format
content = f"{class_id} {normalized_x_center} {normalized_y_center} {normalized_width} {normalized_height}"
print(content)
```

The above conversion will give us YOLO format string.

```txt
0 0.46875 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125
```

### **COCO Format**

[COCO JSON format](https://roboflow.com/formats/coco-json) is also supported by A.Lab. Below is an example of annotated ripe and unripe tomatoes. In this example, `0` represents ripe tomatoes and `1` represents unripe ones.
