When loading the dataset, I'm getting a unicodeDecodeError

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "roaddamagedataset.py", line 30, in
tree = ElementTree.parse(infile_xml)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1196, in parse

(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 45: invalid start byte

this is what the traceback for the error is. Thank you

@adityabharadwaj198 maybe it caused by the hidden files in all Annotations folders.

annotation XML files seems cp1252 encode ? XML parse does not work for me.
