create annotations

[hrshovon]

I am new to yolo.
I am trying to train a model to detect numbers in a image. I am using MNIST dataset.
So far I have a folder called training data where the 28x28 images are in their respective folders(like all images of 5 are in folder named 5 etc.)
I have created a labels.txt file which contains list of classes(0 to 9)
I have copied tiny-yolo.cfg in my folder and modified classes and filters variables.
Now what to do about annotations.How do I create that file and how do I initiate the weight file?

I used labelImg to label my own dataset.

I organised my images and annotations the same way as the Pascal VOC dataset and used labelImg for generating the annotation file for each image. You can load the weight file via the option --load bin/yolo-tiny.weights

I've been converting my own dataset format to VOC today and it's not too bad. But the above tool is great for starting from scratch with images! Nice find @bauerzhou
