YOLO Dataset Format (Image Classification)

Image Classification

Each image must have a corresponding label file. Expected folder structure:

datasets/
human_face/ ← one folder per class
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
labels/ ← YOLO .txt annotation files
image1.txt
image2.txt
classes.txt ← class names for this folder

Label file format — one line per bounding box:

<class_id> <x_center> <y_center> <width> <height>
  • All coordinate values normalised between 0.0 and 1.0
  • class_id is zero-based, matching your classes.txt file
NOTE

If a label file is missing for an image, the tool treats that image as unannotated. Use the Dataset Health tab to find and manage unannotated images before training.
