Research direction

Start with the Azure ML Python SDK entry points shown: Dataset.get_by_name and Dataset.download, then compare them with the linked dataset UI's export options. Determine whether AzureML format or absolute bounding-box coordinates are supported programmatically; done means documenting the supported API or confirming that only UI export is available.

Description

Hi,

I used this code from here:

from azureml.core import Workspace, Dataset

subscription_id = ''
resource_group = ''
workspace_name = ''

workspace = Workspace(subscription_id, resource_group, workspace_name)

dataset = Dataset.get_by_name(workspace, name='')
dataset.download(target_path='.', overwrite=False)

https://ml.azure.com/dataset/NewSalmonFrames/1/details?wsid=/subscriptions/4e93dac0-d1e9-41a5-8e98-9707b26b6913/resourcegroups/eli_kling_speacies/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/eli_kling_speacies&tid=62368045-c91f-477d-a117-8432f56a91e4#consumeTab

This works created, downloading the labelled dataset in the COCO format. What if i wanted to download it in the AzureML format, or using aboslute bounding box co-ordinates?

I can manually export from the UI, but is there a way to do it programatically. I'm worried Azure will change this feature in the future, and my re-usable code will not be so re-useable.

Thanls,

Viraj
