[firsakov]

in custom data train tutorial only yolo annotation format is described,
but If i have data annotations in coco jormat and single json file for all images, is it possible to make custom train?

Requirements

Python>=3.6.0 with all requirements.txt installed including PyTorch>=1.7. To get started:

$ git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
$ cd yolov5
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Environments

YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):

• Google Colab and Kaggle notebooks with free GPU:
• Google Cloud Deep Learning VM. See GCP Quickstart Guide
• Amazon Deep Learning AMI. See AWS Quickstart Guide
• Docker Image. See Docker Quickstart Guide

Status

If this badge is green, all YOLOv5 GitHub Actions Continuous Integration (CI) tests are currently passing. CI tests verify correct operation of YOLOv5 training (train.py), validation (val.py), inference (detect.py) and export (export.py) on MacOS, Windows, and Ubuntu every 24 hours and on every commit.

@firsakov we have PR #4527 open for this task, though I don't have expected completion date for you. One that's merged then yes you can train directly from COCO-labelled JSON annotation files.

@glenn-jocher thank you for reply!
yes, I have merged file. so if I understand you right, it's possible to train now with merged file (or I am struggling with English).
and how should I modify my dataset yaml file?

path: ../data/yolodata/coco128  # dataset root dir
train: images/train2017  # train images (relative to 'path') 128 images
val: images/train2017  # val images (relative to 'path') 128 images
test:  # test images (optional)

@firsakov if you want to train right now with COCO format annotations you can use this repo to convert to YOLO:
