## โš™๏ธ Usage
### Load with Hugging Face `datasets`
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("ChunkrAI/chunkr-layout-bench-oss")
for item in dataset['train']:
print(item['doc_category'], item['width'], item['height'])
````
### With Supervision
```python
import supervision as sv
dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco(
images_directory_path="images",
annotations_path="_annotations.coco.json"
)
print(f"Dataset size: {len(dataset)}")
print(f"Classes: {dataset.classes}")
```
### Convert to YOLO Format
```python
import supervision as sv
dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco(
images_directory_path="images",
annotations_path="_annotations.coco.json"
)
dataset.as_yolo(
images_directory_path="yolo/images",
annotations_directory_path="yolo/labels",
data_yaml_path="yolo/data.yaml"
)
```
