pre annotation (importing pascal VOC format (xml))

[NandaBalakrishnan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Specifically looking this feature for BoundingBox
we want to load the images and their corresponding annotation(pascal voc format) while launching the labelstudio. we want to know whether labelstudio supports importing pascal voc rather than completions json format or is there any converter available to convert pascal voc to completion json.

Describe the solution you'd like

• load images, config and their corresponding (pascal voc)annotation (if available)
• if the annotation is ok then proceed with pre annotated bbox else they can modify the bounding box

Any updates on the above ticket?

@NandaBalakrishnan Unfortunately LS doesn't support Pascal VOC import right now. But we are planning to add a lot of import formats soon.

@makseq what about importing txt labels (yolov4)?
can we upload pre annotated images with their corresponding .txt labels or we need to convert it to json?

[makseq]

@jigsawcoder We are planning to add import from different formats, but it's not supported yet.
So, you need to convert your images to LS internal json format (tasks + annotations).

Is there a script or a more specific example available to convert the pascal VOC format to the LS internal json format until direct importing is implemented?
