How to export TFRecords WITH instance segmentation annotations?

I have an instance segmentation project. I have annotated the images with segmentation. When I export, I see the formats “(JSON) COCO Segmentation” and “TFRecords” available that seem relevant.

Ideally, I would like to export as TFRecords with the segmentation annotations, however, when I export as TFRecords format, I only get the bounding box annotations, no segmentation. This is making me have to export as COCO segmentation json annotations and converting that to TFRecords which I am having trouble getting correct.

Am I missing the ability to export as TFRecords WITH segmentation annotations somewhere/somehow?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi there, I just had a chance to take a closer look. I’m sorry for the inconvenience- Roboflow does not support TFRecord files for instance segmentation annotations right now: https://roboflow.com/formats?name=instance+segmentation

The behavior you describe is expected, since we currently only provide support for bounding box annotations for that format. Although we do not provide support for this, you might consider using some of the utilities provided by the Tensorflow project for converting the COCO segmentation annotations to the correct format expected by your pipeline.

Thank you for the quick response and for the recommended resource. I will try that.
