yololint 1.1.2

YOLO Dataset Debugger (yololint) is a tool for automatic validation and diagnostics of YOLO-format datasets. It helps you quickly detect common errors, inconsistencies, and missing files in your dataset structure and annotations before you start model training. With clear reports and easy usage, you save time and ensure your dataset is ready for deep learning projects.

🚀 About

YoloLint is a tool for automatic validation of dataset structure, annotation files, and image sizes in YOLO projects. It helps you catch typical errors in directory structure, YAML files, annotation files, and now also ensures all your images have the correct size before you start model training.

🖥️ Available Console Scripts

After installing the package, you can use the following commands in your terminal:

Structure validation

yololint-structure-v <path_to_your_dataset>

Annotation validation

yololint-annotation-v <path_to_labels_folder> <number_of_classes>

Image size validation and rescaling

yololint-sizes-v <path_to_your_dataset> <width> <height>

📚 Documentation – How to Use

Validate Dataset Structure

from yololint.structure_validator import StructureValidator

dataset_path = "/path/to/your/dataset"
checker = StructureValidator(dataset_path)
result = checker.dataset_validation()
print(result)

• Function: StructureValidator.dataset_validation()
• Description: Checks if the folder structure and data.yaml are correct, and if the number of classes and class names match.

---

Validate YOLO Annotation Files

from yololint.annotation_checker import AnnotationChecker

labels_path = "/path/to/your/dataset/labels"
classes_count = 3  # number of classes in your dataset
checker = AnnotationChecker(labels_path, classes_count)
result = checker.annotation_checker()
print(result)

• Function: AnnotationChecker.annotation_checker()
• Description: Checks if all .txt files have the correct format (5 values per line, valid class_id) and are not empty.

---

Validate and Rescale Image Sizes

from yololint.sizes_checker import SizesChecker

sizeX = 640  # expected width
sizeY = 480  # expected height
dataset_path = "/path/to/your/dataset"

checker = SizesChecker(sizeX, sizeY)
checker.check_sizes(dataset_path)

• Function: SizesChecker.check_sizes(path_to_dataset)
• Description: Checks if all images in the dataset have the specified size. If an image has a different size, you will be prompted in the terminal to rescale it automatically.

📝 Example data.yaml

names: ['class1', 'class2', 'class3']
nc: 3
