## How to Use

### Download

```bash
huggingface-cli download Dataclusterlabspvtltd/Indian_Traffic_Sign_Image_Dataset --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./Indian_Traffic_Sign_Image_Dataset
```

Or clone directly:

```bash
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/Dataclusterlabspvtltd/Indian_Traffic_Sign_Image_Dataset
```

### Convert VOC to YOLO or COCO

```python
from pylabel import importer

# VOC → YOLO
dataset = importer.ImportVOC(path="annotations/voc")
dataset.export.ExportToYoloV5(output_path="annotations/yolo")

# VOC → COCO
dataset.export.ExportToCoco(output_path="annotations/coco/annotations.json")
```
