How To Convert Udacity TXT to OpenAI CLIP Classification

In this guide, we show you how to convert data between the Udacity and CLIP formats for free. You can use your converted data to train OpenAI CLIP models and other models that support the CLIP format.

Udacity TXT

The format used by the Udacity Self Driving Car dataset.

Below, learn the structure of Udacity TXT.

OpenAI CLIP Classification

CLIP is an impressive multimodal zero-shot image classifier that achieves impressive results in a wide range of domains with no fine-tuning.

Below, learn the structure of OpenAI CLIP Classification.

Step 2: Upload your data into Roboflow

Once your account has been created, click Create New Project.

Roboflow's create project form, with Object Detection selected as the project type

Upload your data to Roboflow by dragging and dropping your Udacity TXT images and annotations into the upload space.
