YOLO PyTorch TXT is a computer vision data format commonly used by YOLO models such as YOLOv9, YOLOv10, and YOLOv12.
Each image has one txt file with a single line for each bounding box. The format of each row is
class_id center_x center_y width height
where fields are space delimited, and the coordinates are normalized from zero to one.
Note: To convert to normalized xywh from pixel values, divide x (and width) by the image's width and divide y (and height) by the image's height.
