Preparing Data

• Choose dataset split
• Annotate all the images
• make sure class names are consistent throughout the dataset.
• Generate the dataset
• Export the dataset: Once you have added all the preprocessing, and augmentation steps with roboflow, you can either download the data as zip, or use the download code and run it in python.
