Motivation

I used Darknet for real-time object detection and classification. Sometimes you need to collect your own training dataset for train your model. I collected training dataset images and fine awesome tool for labeling images. But it generates xml files. So I needed to implement tool which translates from ImageNet xml format to Darknet text format.
Also compatible with latest YOLOv5 by Ultralytics.
