I Labeled 144 images and when I exported it in YOLOv8 detection, I only got 20 exported. Any reason why?
Hi there! 
It sounds like you might be encountering an issue with your export settings or the dataset configuration. Here are a few things you can check:
-
Dataset Configuration: Ensure that your dataset configuration file correctly specifies all the classes and paths. Sometimes, misconfigurations can lead to incomplete exports.
-
Export Command: Double-check the command you used for exporting. Make sure it includes all necessary parameters.
-
Label Format: Verify that all your labels are in the correct format and are properly annotated. Inconsistent labeling can sometimes cause issues during export.
-
Logs and Errors: Check the logs for any warnings or errors during the export process. They might provide more insight into what’s going wrong.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the YOLOv8 documentation and the common issues guide.
If the issue persists, ensure you’re using the latest version of the Ultralytics package. Feel free to share any additional details if you need further assistance!
Happy coding! 
@Sambhu_Padmakumar I recommend reading the following:
If you don’t bother to read either of those, then you need to specifically read this excerpt:
The effort you put into describing your issue, situation, environment, research you’ve done, and what you’ve attempted so far, will directly correlate to the quality of the response you get.
That said, going to need you to clarify a few points:
I Labeled 144 images
How did you label these images? Are you using YOLOv8 via the python API to label them or are you using some type of annotation software?
when I exported it in YOLOv8 detection
What do you mean by “exported” and “detection” in this context? Normally, when people talk about “export” pertaining to YOLOv8, they mean exporting the model.
I only got 20 exported.
Only got 20 of what exported? 20 images? 20 labels? 20 instances? 20 classes?
I’m going to guess that you’re using some labeling/annotation software (CVAT, LabelStudio, Roboflow, etc.) and are attempting to save/export the annotations in the YOLO detection format to use for training. If that is the case, whatever software you’re using is who you need to get support from, not Ultralytics. Once you start training an Ultralytics YOLO model, that’s what this forum will provide support on.
