It seems like you're encountering a file not found error 🐛 while using the xview dataset. To help us investigate and resolve this efficiently, could you provide us with more details by creating a minimum reproducible example (MRE)? Specifically, we’d need the following:

1. The complete error message or stack trace.
2. Steps to reproduce the issue (e.g., dataset structure, configurations used, and the exact command or workflow performed).
3. Any other relevant information such as OS, Python version, and HUB version in use.

If you have additional context, such as the dataset files or log outputs, you can add them here as well 📎.

This is an automated response to ensure you have resources to get started. An Ultralytics engineer will review your issue soon and assist further. We appreciate your patience and understanding! 😊

@AvinashMehta2000 hi there,

It looks like you're encountering a file not found error when running your model with the xView dataset. The xView dataset has a few specific steps for setup, and this error often indicates that the dataset folders or files aren’t organized as expected.

Here are a few steps you might consider:

1. Verify that you have manually downloaded and extracted the xView data. As noted in our xView docs (see https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/detect/xview/), you need to download the images and labels manually and ensure you unzip the files into the correct directory (i.e., datasets/xView or whichever path you’ve defined in your YAML).

2. Double-check your YAML configuration (xView.yaml). Ensure the paths for your images (e.g., train and val) match the actual folder structure on your system.

3. If you are running the conversion script provided in the YAML’s “download” section (or your own custom script), verify that all images referenced in the labels are present. Missing image files can lead to a file not found error.

4. Lastly, please confirm you’re using the latest version of the packages. A lot of issues have been resolved in recent releases, so upgrading might help if the structure or paths have changed.

If after these steps the issue persists, please share additional details about your directory setup and any modifications you’ve made. That information will help further diagnose the issue.

Hope this helps! Kudos to the YOLO community and the Ultralytics team for making these workflows possible.

Hi @AvinashMehta2000,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I was able to reproduce it on my end as well and have reported it to the development team. They are looking into it, and I’ll inform you once the issue is resolved.

We appreciate your patience!

just wanted to know, issue resolved?

Hi there! 👋

Great to hear back from you! Regarding the xView dataset issue, our team is actively investigating it. In the meantime, could you confirm that you've:

1. Manually downloaded and extracted the xView dataset following our xView documentation?
2. Verified your directory structure matches the YAML's path requirements (datasets/xView by default)?
3. Run the conversion script included in the YAML after dataset setup?

These manual steps are required due to xView's distribution policies, and we've seen them resolve most "file not found" cases. 🔍

If you've confirmed all these and still face issues, please share:

• Your exact directory structure
• Any modifications made to the YAML
• Full error trace

This will help us accelerate the fix. We appreciate your patience and detailed reporting! 🚀

P.S. Make sure you're using the latest Ultralytics version (pip install -U ultralytics) as we ship frequent fixes.
