ArcGIS Pro, Deep Learning, Labeled Objects and Source Tiles from Other Sources for Training

[bkaplan1]

I would like to try training a model using open source labels and associated tiles from https://source.coop/repositories/ramp/ramp/description.    If one uses ArcGIS Pro to create the folders from "Export Training Data", this emd file is created along with a json file, and two text files, maps.txt and stats.txt.   

From some experimentation, I got a manually created .emd file loaded and it seems to need only a correct "MetaDataMode" to get the model started but then other errors show up.  

So my question is, can one create the necessary metadata files outside of the "Export Training Data" tool to use other extracted image tiles and labels and what are the specifications for such files?

A less favorable possibility is to load all the tile and the labels and run Export tool.

Hi @bkaplan1,

We don't support creating the metadata files outside of the Export Training Data tool. We support using ArcGIS Pro to export the training data, which ensures that all required files—such as the .emd, map.txt, stats.txt, and accompanying JSON—are properly generated and structured for use in model training.

If you have a set of image tiles and corresponding labels, the recommended approach use them for creating training data using Export Training Data for Deep Learning tool. This process will generate all necessary metadata in the correct format and structure, enabling a smoother model training workflow.
