How To Convert COCO JSON to Tensorflow TFRecord

If your labeling tool exported annotations in the

COCO

format, but you’re trying to use a

MobileNet SSD v2

model that needs

TFRecord

annotations, we’ve got you covered. You can convert those in 3 clicks with Roboflow.

Step 1: Create a Free Roboflow Account

Roboflow is the universal conversion tool for computer vision annotation formats. It's completely free for your first 1,000 images. You'll need an account to convert your dataset.
