Classes:

DatasetView(dataset[, _stages, _media_type, …])

A view into a fiftyone.core.dataset.Dataset.

Functions:

make_optimized_select_view(…[, ordered, …])

Returns a view that selects the provided sample IDs that is optimized to reduce the document list as early as possible in the pipeline.

class fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView(dataset, _stages=None, _media_type=None, _group_slice=None, _name=None)

Bases: fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

A view into a fiftyone.core.dataset.Dataset.

Dataset views represent ordered collections of subsets of samples in a dataset.

Operations on dataset views are designed to be chained together to yield the desired subset of the dataset, which is then iterated over to directly access the sample views. Each stage in the pipeline defining a dataset view is represented by a fiftyone.core.stages.ViewStage instance.

The stages of a dataset view specify:

• The subset of samples (and their order) that should be included

• The possibly-filtered fields of each sample that should be included

Samples retrieved from dataset views are returned as fiftyone.core.sample.SampleView objects, as opposed to fiftyone.core.sample.Sample objects, since they may contain a subset of the sample’s content.

See this page for an overview of working with dataset views.

create_index(field_or_spec, unique=False, wait=True, **kwargs)

Creates an index on the given field or with the given specification, if necessary.

Indexes enable efficient sorting, merging, and other such operations.

Frame-level fields can be indexed by prepending "frames." to the field name.

Note

If an index with the same field(s) but different order(s) already exists, no new index will be created.

Use drop_index() to drop an existing index first if you wish to replace an existing index with new properties.

Note

If you are indexing a single field and it already has a unique constraint, it will be retained regardless of the unique value you specify. Conversely, if the given field already has a non-unique index but you requested a unique index, the existing index will be replaced with a unique index.

Use drop_index() to drop an existing index first if you wish to replace an existing index with new properties.

Parameters

• field_or_spec – the field name, embedded.field.name, or index specification list. See pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index() for supported values

• unique (False) – whether to add a uniqueness constraint to the index

• wait (True) – whether to wait for index creation to finish

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments for pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index()

Returns

the name of the index

delete_annotation_run(anno_key)

evaluate_classifications(pred_field, gt_field='ground_truth', eval_key=None, classes=None, missing=None, method=None, progress=None, **kwargs)

Evaluates the classification predictions in this collection with respect to the specified ground truth labels.

By default, this method simply compares the ground truth and prediction for each sample, but other strategies such as binary evaluation and top-k matching can be configured via the method parameter.

You can customize the evaluation method by passing additional parameters for the method’s config class as kwargs.

The natively provided method values and their associated configs are:

• "simple": fiftyone.utils.eval.classification.SimpleEvaluationConfig

• "top-k": fiftyone.utils.eval.classification.TopKEvaluationConfig

• "binary": fiftyone.utils.eval.classification.BinaryEvaluationConfig

If an eval_key is specified, then this method will record some statistics on each sample:

• When evaluating sample-level fields, an eval_key field will be populated on each sample recording whether that sample’s prediction is correct.

• When evaluating frame-level fields, an eval_key field will be populated on each frame recording whether that frame’s prediction is correct. In addition, an eval_key field will be populated on each sample that records the average accuracy of the frame predictions of the sample.

Parameters

a fiftyone.utils.eval.classification.ClassificationResults

evaluate_detections(pred_field, gt_field='ground_truth', eval_key=None, classes=None, missing=None, method=None, iou=0.5, use_masks=False, use_boxes=False, classwise=True, dynamic=True, progress=None, **kwargs)

Evaluates the specified predicted detections in this collection with respect to the specified ground truth detections.

This method supports evaluating the following spatial data types:

• Object detections in fiftyone.core.labels.Detections format

• Instance segmentations in fiftyone.core.labels.Detections format with their mask attributes populated

• Polygons in fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines format

• Keypoints in fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints format

• Temporal detections in fiftyone.core.labels.TemporalDetections format

For spatial object detection evaluation, this method uses COCO-style evaluation by default.

When evaluating keypoints, “IoUs” are computed via object keypoint similarity.

For temporal segment detection, this method uses ActivityNet-style evaluation by default.

You can use the method parameter to select a different method, and you can optionally customize the method by passing additional parameters for the method’s config class as kwargs.

The natively provided method values and their associated configs are:

• "coco": fiftyone.utils.eval.coco.COCOEvaluationConfig

• "open-images": fiftyone.utils.eval.openimages.OpenImagesEvaluationConfig

• "activitynet": fiftyone.utils.eval.activitynet.ActivityNetEvaluationConfig

If an eval_key is provided, a number of fields are populated at the object- and sample-level recording the results of the evaluation:

• True positive (TP), false positive (FP), and false negative (FN) counts for the each sample are saved in top-level fields of each sample:

  TP: sample.<eval_key>_tp
  FP: sample.<eval_key>_fp
  FN: sample.<eval_key>_fn
  

  In addition, when evaluating frame-level objects, TP/FP/FN counts are recorded for each frame:

  TP: frame.<eval_key>_tp
  FP: frame.<eval_key>_fp
  FN: frame.<eval_key>_fn
  

• The fields listed below are populated on each individual object; these fields tabulate the TP/FP/FN status of the object, the ID of the matching object (if any), and the matching IoU:

  TP/FP/FN: object.<eval_key>
        ID: object.<eval_key>_id
       IoU: object.<eval_key>_iou

• use_boxes (False) – whether to compute IoUs using the bounding boxes of the provided fiftyone.core.labels.Polyline instances rather than using their actual geometries

• classwise (True) – whether to only match objects with the same class label (True) or allow matches between classes (False)

• dynamic (True) – whether to declare the dynamic object-level attributes that are populated on the dataset’s schema

• progress (None) – whether to render a progress bar (True/False), use the default value fiftyone.config.show_progress_bars (None), or a progress callback function to invoke instead

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments for the constructor of the fiftyone.utils.eval.detection.DetectionEvaluationConfig being used

Excludes the groups with the given IDs from the grouped collection.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-groups")

#
# Exclude some specific groups by ID
#

view = dataset.take(2)
group_ids = view.values("group.id")
other_groups = dataset.exclude_groups(group_ids)

assert len(set(group_ids) & set(other_groups.values("group.id"))) == 0

Parameters

groups_ids –

the groups to exclude. Can be any of the following:

• a group ID

• an iterable of group IDs

• a fiftyone.core.sample.Sample or fiftyone.core.sample.SampleView

• a group dict returned by get_group()

• an iterable of fiftyone.core.sample.Sample or fiftyone.core.sample.SampleView instances

• an iterable of group dicts returned by get_group()

• a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

exclude_labels(labels=None, ids=None, tags=None, fields=None, omit_empty=True)

Excludes the specified labels from the collection.

The returned view will omit samples, sample fields, and individual labels that do not match the specified selection criteria.

You can perform an exclusion via one or more of the following methods:

• Provide the labels argument, which should contain a list of dicts in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels, to exclude specific labels

• Provide the ids argument to exclude labels with specific IDs

• Provide the tags argument to exclude labels with specific tags

If multiple criteria are specified, labels must match all of them in order to be excluded.

By default, the exclusion is applied to all fiftyone.core.labels.Label fields, but you can provide the fields argument to explicitly define the field(s) in which to exclude.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Exclude the labels currently selected in the App
#

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

# Select some labels in the App...

view = dataset.exclude_labels(labels=session.selected_labels)

#
# Exclude labels with the specified IDs
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

view = dataset.exclude_labels(ids=ids)

print(dataset.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))

print(dataset.count("predictions.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

#
# Exclude labels with the specified tags
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

# Give the labels a "test" tag
dataset = dataset.clone()  # create copy since we're modifying data
dataset.select_labels(ids=ids).tag_labels("test")

print(dataset.count_values("ground_truth.detections.tags"))
print(dataset.count_values("predictions.detections.tags"))

# Exclude the labels via their tag
view = dataset.exclude_labels(tags="test")

print(dataset.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))

print(dataset.count("predictions.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

Parameters

• labels (None) – a list of dicts specifying the labels to exclude in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels

• ids (None) – an ID or iterable of IDs of the labels to exclude

• tags (None) – a tag or iterable of tags of labels to exclude

• fields (None) – a field or iterable of fields from which to exclude

• omit_empty (True) – whether to omit samples that have no labels after filtering

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

exists(field, bool=None)

Returns a view containing the samples in the collection that have (or do not have) a non-None value for the given field or embedded field.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

export(export_dir=None, dataset_type=None, data_path=None, labels_path=None, export_media=None, rel_dir=None, dataset_exporter=None, label_field=None, frame_labels_field=None, overwrite=False, progress=None, **kwargs)

Exports the samples in the collection to disk.

You can perform exports with this method via the following basic patterns:

1. Provide export_dir and dataset_type to export the content to a directory in the default layout for the specified format, as documented in this page

2. Provide dataset_type along with data_path, labels_path, and/or export_media to directly specify where to export the source media and/or labels (if applicable) in your desired format. This syntax provides the flexibility to, for example, perform workflows like labels-only exports

3. Provide a dataset_exporter to which to feed samples to perform a fully-customized export

In all workflows, the remaining parameters of this method can be provided to further configure the export.

See this page for more information about the available export formats and examples of using this method.

See this guide for more details about exporting datasets in custom formats by defining your own fiftyone.utils.data.exporters.DatasetExporter.

This method will automatically coerce the data to match the requested export in the following cases:

• When exporting in either an unlabeled image or image classification format, if a spatial label field is provided (fiftyone.core.labels.Detection, fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, fiftyone.core.labels.Polyline, or fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines), then the image patches of the provided samples will be exported

• When exporting in labeled image dataset formats that expect list-type labels (fiftyone.core.labels.Classifications, fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints, or fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines), if a label field contains labels in non-list format (e.g., fiftyone.core.labels.Classification), the labels will be automatically upgraded to single-label lists

• When exporting in labeled image dataset formats that expect fiftyone.core.labels.Detections labels, if a fiftyone.core.labels.Classification field is provided, the labels will be automatically upgraded to detections that span the entire images

Parameters

• export_dir (None) –

  the directory to which to export the samples in format dataset_type. This parameter may be omitted if you have provided appropriate values for the data_path and/or labels_path parameters. Alternatively, this can also be an archive path with one of the following extensions:

  .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz, .tbz
  

  If an archive path is specified, the export is performed in a directory of same name (minus extension) and then automatically archived and the directory then deleted

• dataset_type (None) – the fiftyone.types.Dataset type to write. If not specified, the default type for label_field is used

• data_path (None) –

  an optional parameter that enables explicit control over the location of the exported media for certain export formats. Can be any of the following:

  • a folder name like "data" or "data/" specifying a subfolder of export_dir in which to export the media

  • an absolute directory path in which to export the media. In this case, the export_dir has no effect on the location of the data

  • a filename like "data.json" specifying the filename of a JSON manifest file in export_dir generated when export_media is "manifest"

  • an absolute filepath specifying the location to write the JSON manifest file when export_media is "manifest". In this case, export_dir has no effect on the location of the data

  If None, a default value of this parameter will be chosen based on the value of the export_media parameter. Note that this parameter is not applicable to certain export formats such as binary types like TF records

• labels_path (None) –

  an optional parameter that enables explicit control over the location of the exported labels. Only applicable when exporting in certain labeled dataset formats. Can be any of the following:

  • a type-specific folder name like "labels" or "labels/" or a filename like "labels.json" or "labels.xml" specifying the location in export_dir in which to export the labels

  • an absolute directory or filepath in which to export the labels. In this case, the export_dir has no effect on the location of the labels

  For labeled datasets, the default value of this parameter will be chosen based on the export format so that the labels will be exported into export_dir

• export_media (None) –

  controls how to export the raw media. The supported values are:

  • True: copy all media files into the output directory

  • False: don’t export media. This option is only useful when exporting labeled datasets whose label format stores sufficient information to locate the associated media

  • "move": move all media files into the output directory

  • "symlink": create symlinks to the media files in the output directory

  • "manifest": create a data.json in the output directory that maps UUIDs used in the labels files to the filepaths of the source media, rather than exporting the actual media

  If None, an appropriate default value of this parameter will be chosen based on the value of the data_path parameter. Note that some dataset formats may not support certain values for this parameter (e.g., when exporting in binary formats such as TF records, “symlink” is not an option)

• rel_dir (None) – an optional relative directory to strip from each input filepath to generate a unique identifier for each media. When exporting media, this identifier is joined with data_path to generate an output path for each exported media. This argument allows for populating nested subdirectories that match the shape of the input paths. The path is converted to an absolute path (if necessary) via fiftyone.core.storage.normalize_path()

• dataset_exporter (None) – a fiftyone.utils.data.exporters.DatasetExporter to use to export the samples. When provided, parameters such as export_dir, dataset_type, data_path, and labels_path have no effect

• label_field (None) –

  controls the label field(s) to export. Only applicable to labeled datasets. Can be any of the following:

  • the name of a label field to export

  • a glob pattern of label field(s) to export

  • a list or tuple of label field(s) to export

  • a dictionary mapping label field names to keys to use when constructing the label dictionaries to pass to the exporter

  Note that multiple fields can only be specified when the exporter used can handle dictionaries of labels. By default, the first field of compatible type for the exporter is used. When exporting labeled video datasets, this argument may contain frame fields prefixed by "frames."

• frame_labels_field (None) –

  controls the frame label field(s) to export. The "frames." prefix is optional. Only applicable to labeled video datasets. Can be any of the following:

  • the name of a frame label field to export

  • a glob pattern of frame label field(s) to export

  • a list or tuple of frame label field(s) to export

  • a dictionary mapping frame label field names to keys to use when constructing the frame label dictionaries to pass to the exporter

  Note that multiple fields can only be specified when the exporter used can handle dictionaries of frame labels. By default, the first field of compatible type for the exporter is used

• overwrite (False) – whether to delete existing directories before performing the export (True) or to merge the export with existing files and directories (False)

• progress (None) – whether to render a progress bar (True/False), use the default value fiftyone.config.show_progress_bars (None), or a progress callback function to invoke instead

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments to pass to the dataset exporter’s constructor. If you are exporting image patches, this can also contain keyword arguments for fiftyone.utils.patches.ImagePatchesExtractor

filter_field(field, filter, only_matches=True)

Filters the values of a field or embedded field of each sample in the collection.

Values of field for which filter returns False are replaced with None.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",

        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image2.png",
            ground_truth=fo.Classification(label="dog"),
            predictions=fo.Classification(label="dog", confidence=0.8),
            numeric_field=-1.0,
        ),
        fo.Sample(

        ),
    ]
)

#
# Only include classifications in the `predictions` field
# whose `label` is "cat"
#

view = dataset.filter_field("predictions", F("label") == "cat")

#
# Only include samples whose `numeric_field` value is positive
#

view = dataset.filter_field("numeric_field", F() > 0)

Parameters

• field – the field name or embedded.field.name

• filter –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression that returns a boolean describing the filter to apply

• only_matches (True) – whether to only include samples that match the filter (True) or include all samples (False)

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

filter_keypoints(field, filter=None, labels=None, only_matches=True)

Filters the individual fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoint.points elements in the specified keypoints field of each sample in the collection.

Note

Use filter_labels() if you simply want to filter entire fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoint objects in a field.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",

                keypoints=[
                    fo.Keypoint(
                        label="person",
                        points=[(0.1, 0.1), (0.1, 0.9), (0.9, 0.9), (0.9, 0.1)],
                        confidence=[0.7, 0.8, 0.95, 0.99],
                    )
                ]
            )
        ),
        fo.Sample(filepath="/path/to/image2.png"),
    ]
)

dataset.default_skeleton = fo.KeypointSkeleton(
    labels=["nose", "left eye", "right eye", "left ear", "right ear"],
    edges=[[0, 1, 2, 0], [0, 3], [0, 4]],
)

#
# Only include keypoints in the `predictions` field whose
# `confidence` is greater than 0.9
#

view = dataset.filter_keypoints(
    "predictions", filter=F("confidence") > 0.9
)

#
# Only include keypoints in the `predictions` field with less than
# four points
#

view = dataset.filter_keypoints(
    "predictions", labels=["left eye", "right eye"]
)

Parameters

• field – the fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoint or fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints field to filter

• filter (None) –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression that returns a boolean, like F("confidence") > 0.5 or F("occluded") == False, to apply elementwise to the specified field, which must be a list of same length as fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoint.points

• labels (None) – a label or iterable of keypoint skeleton labels to keep

Parameters

filter –

a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression that returns a boolean describing the filter to apply

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

match_frames(filter, omit_empty=True)

Filters the frames in the video collection by the given filter.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-video")

#
# Match frames with at least 10 detections
#

num_objects = F("detections.detections").length()
view = dataset.match_frames(num_objects > 10)

print(dataset.count())
print(view.count())

print(dataset.count("frames"))
print(view.count("frames"))

Parameters

• filter –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB aggregation expression that returns a boolean describing the filter to apply

• omit_empty (True) – whether to omit samples with no frame labels after filtering

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

match_labels(labels=None, ids=None, tags=None, filter=None, fields=None, bool=None)

Selects the samples from the collection that contain (or do not contain) at least one label that matches the specified criteria.

Note that, unlike select_labels() and filter_labels(), this stage will not filter the labels themselves; it only selects the corresponding samples.

You can perform a selection via one or more of the following methods:

• Provide the labels argument, which should contain a list of dicts in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels, to match specific labels

• Provide the ids argument to match labels with specific IDs

• Provide the tags argument to match labels with specific tags

• Provide the filter argument to match labels based on a boolean fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression that is applied to each individual fiftyone.core.labels.Label element

• Pass bool=False to negate the operation and instead match samples that do not contain at least one label matching the specified criteria

If multiple criteria are specified, labels must match all of them in order to trigger a sample match.

By default, the selection is applied to all fiftyone.core.labels.Label fields, but you can provide the fields argument to explicitly define the field(s) in which to search.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Only show samples whose labels are currently selected in the App
#

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

# Select some labels in the App...

view = dataset.match_labels(labels=session.selected_labels)

#
# Only include samples that contain labels with the specified IDs
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

view = dataset.match_labels(ids=ids)

print(len(view))
print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

#
# Only include samples that contain labels with the specified tags
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

# Give the labels a "test" tag
dataset = dataset.clone()  # create copy since we're modifying data
dataset.select_labels(ids=ids).tag_labels("test")

print(dataset.count_values("ground_truth.detections.tags"))
print(dataset.count_values("predictions.detections.tags"))

# Retrieve the labels via their tag
view = dataset.match_labels(tags="test")

print(len(view))
print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

#
# Only include samples that contain labels matching a filter
#

filter = F("confidence") > 0.99
view = dataset.match_labels(filter=filter, fields="predictions")

print(len(view))
print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

Parameters

• labels (None) – a list of dicts specifying the labels to select in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels

• ids (None) – an ID or iterable of IDs of the labels to select

• tags (None) – a tag or iterable of tags of labels to select

• filter (None) –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB aggregation expression that returns a boolean describing whether to select a given label. In the case of list fields like fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, the filter is applied to the list elements, not the root field

• fields (None) – a field or iterable of fields from which to select

• bool (None) – whether to match samples that have (None or True) or do not have (False) at least one label that matches the specified criteria

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

match_tags(tags, bool=None, all=False)

Returns a view containing the samples in the collection that have or don’t have any/all of the given tag(s).

• bool (None) – whether to match samples that have (None or True) or do not have (False) the given tags

• all (False) – whether to match samples that have (or don’t have) all (True) or any (False) of the given tags

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

mean(field_or_expr, expr=None, safe=False)

Computes the arithmetic mean of the field values of the collection.

None-valued fields are ignored.

This aggregation is typically applied to numeric field types (or lists of such types):

• fiftyone.core.fields.FloatField

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",
            numeric_field=1.0,
            numeric_list_field=[1, 2, 3],
        ),
        fo.Sample(

#

mean = dataset.mean("numeric_field")
print(mean)  # the mean

#
# Compute the mean of a numeric list field
#

mean = dataset.mean("numeric_list_field")
print(mean)  # the mean

#
# Compute the mean of a transformation of a numeric field
#

mean = dataset.mean(2 * (F("numeric_field") + 1))
print(mean)  # the mean

Parameters

• field_or_expr –

  a field name, embedded.field.name, fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression, or MongoDB expression defining the field or expression to aggregate. This can also be a list or tuple of such arguments, in which case a tuple of corresponding aggregation results (each receiving the same additional keyword arguments, if any) will be returned

• expr (None) –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression to apply to field_or_expr (which must be a field) before aggregating

• safe (False) – whether to ignore nan/inf values when dealing with floating point values

Returns

the mean

merge_labels(in_field, out_field)

Merges the labels from the given input field into the given output field of the collection.

If this collection is a dataset, the input field is deleted after the merge.

If this collection is a view, the input field will still exist on the underlying dataset but will only contain the labels not present in this view.

Parameters

• in_field – the name of the input label field

• out_field – the name of the output label field, which will be created if necessary

mongo(pipeline, _needs_frames=None, _group_slices=None)

Adds a view stage defined by a raw MongoDB aggregation pipeline.

See MongoDB aggregation pipelines for more details.

                foo="bar",
                hello=True,
            ),
            fo.Detection(
                label="dog",
                bounding_box=[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.4],
                hello=None,
            )

                foo=None,
            ),
            fo.Detection(
                label="squirrel",
                bounding_box=[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.4],
                hello="there",
            ),
        ]
    )
)

dataset.add_samples([sample1, sample2])

#
# Get schema of all dynamic attributes on the detections in a
# `Detections` field
#

print(dataset.schema("ground_truth.detections", dynamic_only=True))

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(filepath="image%d.jpg" % i, int=i, str=str(i))

Selects the samples in the group collection from the given slice(s).

The returned view is a flattened non-grouped view containing only the slice(s) of interest.

Note

This stage performs a $lookup that pulls the requested slice(s) for each sample in the input collection from the source dataset. As a result, this stage always emits unfiltered samples.

import fiftyone as fo

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_group_field("group", default="ego")

group1 = fo.Group()
group2 = fo.Group()

dataset.add_samples(

            group=group1.element("left"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/video1.mp4",
            group=group1.element("ego"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/right-image1.jpg",
            group=group1.element("right"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/left-image2.jpg",
            group=group2.element("left"),
        ),

            group=group2.element("ego"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/right-image2.jpg",
            group=group2.element("right"),
        ),
    ]
)

#
# Retrieve the samples from the "ego" group slice
#

view = dataset.select_group_slices("ego")

#
# Retrieve the samples from the "left" or "right" group slices
#

view = dataset.select_group_slices(["left", "right"])

#
# Retrieve all image samples
#

view = dataset.select_group_slices(media_type="image")

Parameters

• slices (None) – a group slice or iterable of group slices to select. If neither argument is provided, a flattened list of all samples is returned

• media_type (None) – a media type whose slice(s) to select

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

select_groups(group_ids, ordered=False)

Selects the groups with the given IDs from the grouped collection.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-groups")

#
# Select some specific groups by ID
#

group_ids = dataset.take(10).values("group.id")

view = dataset.select_groups(group_ids)

assert set(view.values("group.id")) == set(group_ids)

view = dataset.select_groups(group_ids, ordered=True)

assert view.values("group.id") == group_ids

Parameters

• groups_ids –

  the groups to select. Can be any of the following:

  • a group ID

  • an iterable of group IDs

  • a fiftyone.core.sample.Sample or fiftyone.core.sample.SampleView

  • a group dict returned by get_group()

  • an iterable of fiftyone.core.sample.Sample or fiftyone.core.sample.SampleView instances

  • an iterable of group dicts returned by get_group()

  • a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• ordered (False) – whether to sort the groups in the returned view to match the order of the provided IDs

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

select_labels(labels=None, ids=None, tags=None, fields=None, omit_empty=True)

Selects only the specified labels from the collection.

The returned view will omit samples, sample fields, and individual labels that do not match the specified selection criteria.

You can perform a selection via one or more of the following methods:

• Provide the labels argument, which should contain a list of dicts in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels, to select specific labels

• Provide the ids argument to select labels with specific IDs

• Provide the tags argument to select labels with specific tags

If multiple criteria are specified, labels must match all of them in order to be selected.

By default, the selection is applied to all fiftyone.core.labels.Label fields, but you can provide the fields argument to explicitly define the field(s) in which to select.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Only include the labels currently selected in the App
#

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

# Select some labels in the App...

view = dataset.select_labels(labels=session.selected_labels)

#
# Only include labels with the specified IDs
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

view = dataset.select_labels(ids=ids)

print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

#
# Only include labels with the specified tags
#

# Grab some label IDs
ids = [
    dataset.first().ground_truth.detections[0].id,
    dataset.last().predictions.detections[0].id,
]

# Give the labels a "test" tag
dataset = dataset.clone()  # create copy since we're modifying data
dataset.select_labels(ids=ids).tag_labels("test")

print(dataset.count_label_tags())

# Retrieve the labels via their tag
view = dataset.select_labels(tags="test")

print(view.count("ground_truth.detections"))
print(view.count("predictions.detections"))

Parameters

• labels (None) – a list of dicts specifying the labels to select in the format returned by fiftyone.core.session.Session.selected_labels

• ids (None) – an ID or iterable of IDs of the labels to select

• tags (None) – a tag or iterable of tags of labels to select

• fields (None) – a field or iterable of fields from which to select

• omit_empty (True) – whether to omit samples that have no labels after filtering

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

set_field(field, expr, _allow_missing=False)

Sets a field or embedded field on each sample in a collection by evaluating the given expression.

This method can process embedded list fields. To do so, simply append [] to any list component(s) of the field path.

Note

There are two cases where FiftyOne will automatically unwind array fields without requiring you to explicitly specify this via the [] syntax:

Top-level lists: when you specify a field path that refers to a top-level list field of a dataset; i.e., list_field is automatically coerced to list_field[], if necessary.

List fields: When you specify a field path that refers to the list field of a Label class, such as the Detections.detections attribute; i.e., ground_truth.detections.label is automatically coerced to ground_truth.detections[].label, if necessary.

See the examples below for demonstrations of this behavior.

The provided expr is interpreted relative to the document on which the embedded field is being set. For example, if you are setting a nested field field="embedded.document.field", then the expression expr you provide will be applied to the embedded.document document. Note that you can override this behavior by defining an expression that is bound to the root document by prepending "$" to any field name(s) in the expression.

See the examples below for more information.

Note

Note that you cannot set a non-existing top-level field using this stage, since doing so would violate the dataset’s schema. You can, however, first declare a new field via fiftyone.core.dataset.Dataset.add_sample_field() and then populate it in a view via this stage.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Replace all values of the `uniqueness` field that are less than
# 0.5 with `None`
#

view = dataset.set_field(
    "uniqueness",
    (F("uniqueness") >= 0.5).if_else(F("uniqueness"), None)
)
print(view.bounds("uniqueness"))

#
# Lower bound all object confidences in the `predictions` field at
# 0.5
#

view = dataset.set_field(
    "predictions.detections.confidence", F("confidence").max(0.5)
)
print(view.bounds("predictions.detections.confidence"))

#
# Add a `num_predictions` property to the `predictions` field that
# contains the number of objects in the field
#

view = dataset.set_field(
    "predictions.num_predictions",
    F("$predictions.detections").length(),
)
print(view.bounds("predictions.num_predictions"))

#
# Set an `is_animal` field on each object in the `predictions` field
# that indicates whether the object is an animal
#

ANIMALS = [
    "bear", "bird", "cat", "cow", "dog", "elephant", "giraffe",
    "horse", "sheep", "zebra"
]

view = dataset.set_field(
    "predictions.detections.is_animal", F("label").is_in(ANIMALS)
)
print(view.count_values("predictions.detections.is_animal"))

Parameters

• field – the field or embedded.field.name to set

• expr –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression that defines the field value to set

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

set_label_values(field_name, values, dynamic=False, skip_none=False, validate=True, progress=False)

Sets the fields of the specified labels in the collection to the given values.

Note

This method is appropriate when you have the IDs of the labels you wish to modify. See set_values() and set_field() if your updates are not keyed by label ID.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Populate a new boolean attribute on all high confidence labels
#

view = dataset.filter_labels("predictions", F("confidence") > 0.99)

label_ids = view.values("predictions.detections.id", unwind=True)
values = {_id: True for _id in label_ids}

dataset.set_label_values("predictions.detections.high_conf", values)

print(dataset.count("predictions.detections"))
print(len(label_ids))
print(dataset.count_values("predictions.detections.high_conf"))

Parameters

• field_name – a field or embedded.field.name

• values – a dict mapping label IDs to values

• skip_none (False) – whether to treat None data in values as missing data that should not be set

• dynamic (False) – whether to declare dynamic attributes of embedded document fields that are encountered

• validate (True) – whether to validate that the values are compliant with the dataset schema before adding them

• progress (False) – whether to render a progress bar (True/False), use the default value fiftyone.config.show_progress_bars (None), or a progress callback function to invoke instead

set_values(field_name, values, key_field=None, skip_none=False, expand_schema=True, dynamic=False, validate=True, progress=False, _allow_missing=False, _sample_ids=None, _frame_ids=None)

Sets the field or embedded field on each sample or frame in the collection to the given values.

When setting a sample field embedded.field.name, this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for sample, value in zip(sample_collection, values):
    sample.embedded.field.name = value
    sample.save()

When setting an embedded field that contains an array, say embedded.array.field.name, this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for sample, array_values in zip(sample_collection, values):
    for doc, value in zip(sample.embedded.array, array_values):
        doc.field.name = value

    sample.save()

When setting a frame field frames.embedded.field.name, this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for sample, frame_values in zip(sample_collection, values):
    for frame, value in zip(sample.frames.values(), frame_values):
        frame.embedded.field.name = value

    sample.save()

When setting an embedded frame field that contains an array, say frames.embedded.array.field.name, this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for sample, frame_values in zip(sample_collection, values):
    for frame, array_values in zip(sample.frames.values(), frame_values):
        for doc, value in zip(frame.embedded.array, array_values):
            doc.field.name = value

    sample.save()

When values is a dict mapping keys in key_field to values, then this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for key, value in values.items():
    sample = sample_collection.one(F(key_field) == key)
    sample.embedded.field.name = value
    sample.save()

When setting frame fields using the dict values syntax, each value in values may either be a list corresponding to the frames of the sample matching the given key, or each value may itself be a dict mapping frame numbers to values. In the latter case, this function is an efficient implementation of the following loop:

for key, frame_values in values.items():
    sample = sample_collection.one(F(key_field) == key)
    for frame_number, value in frame_values.items():
        frame = sample[frame_number]
        frame.embedded.field.name = value

    sample.save()

You can also update list fields using the dict values syntax, in which case this method is an efficient implementation of the natural nested list modifications of the above sample/frame loops.

The dual function of set_values() is values(), which can be used to efficiently extract the values of a field or embedded field of all samples in a collection as lists of values in the same structure expected by this method.

Note

If the values you are setting can be described by a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression applied to the existing dataset contents, then consider using set_field() + save() for an even more efficient alternative to explicitly iterating over the dataset or calling values() + set_values() to perform the update in-memory.

Examples:

import random

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

#
# Create a new sample field
#

values = [random.random() for _ in range(len(dataset))]
dataset.set_values("random", values)

print(dataset.bounds("random"))

#
# Add a tag to all low confidence labels
#

view = dataset.filter_labels("predictions", F("confidence") < 0.06)

detections = view.values("predictions.detections")
for sample_detections in detections:
    for detection in sample_detections:
        detection.tags.append("low_confidence")

view.set_values("predictions.detections", detections)

print(dataset.count_label_tags())

Parameters

• field_name – a field or embedded.field.name

• values – an iterable of values, one for each sample in the collection. When setting frame fields, each element can either be an iterable of values (one for each existing frame of the sample) or a dict mapping frame numbers to values. If field_name contains array fields, the corresponding elements of values must be arrays of the same lengths. This argument can also be a dict mapping keys to values (each value as described previously), in which case the keys are used to match samples by their key_field

• key_field (None) – a key field to use when choosing which samples to update when values is a dict

• skip_none (False) – whether to treat None data in values as missing data that should not be set

• expand_schema (True) – whether to dynamically add new sample/frame fields encountered to the dataset schema. If False, an error is raised if the root field_name does not exist

• dynamic (False) – whether to declare dynamic attributes of embedded document fields that are encountered

• validate (True) – whether to validate that the values are compliant with the dataset schema before adding them

• progress (False) – whether to render a progress bar (True/False), use the default value fiftyone.config.show_progress_bars (None), or a progress callback function to invoke instead

shuffle(seed=None)

Randomly shuffles the samples in the collection.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",
            ground_truth=fo.Classification(label="cat"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image2.png",
            ground_truth=fo.Classification(label="dog"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image3.png",
            ground_truth=None,
        ),
    ]
)

#
# Return a view that contains a randomly shuffled version of the
# samples in the dataset
#

view = dataset.shuffle()

#
# Shuffle the samples with a fixed random seed
#

view = dataset.shuffle(seed=51)

Parameters

seed (None) – an optional random seed to use when shuffling the samples

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

skip(skip)

Omits the given number of samples from the head of the collection.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",
            ground_truth=fo.Classification(label="cat"),
        ),

            filepath="/path/to/image3.png",
            ground_truth=fo.Classification(label="rabbit"),
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image4.png",
            ground_truth=None,
        ),
    ]
)

#

view = dataset.skip(2)

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

sort_by(field_or_expr, reverse=False, create_index=True)

bbox = F("bounding_box")
bbox_area = bbox[2] * bbox[3]

small_boxes = F("predictions.detections").filter(bbox_area < 0.2)
view = dataset.sort_by(small_boxes.length(), reverse=True)

#
# Performs a compound sort where samples are first sorted in
# descending or by number of detections and then in ascending order
# of uniqueness for samples with the same number of predictions
#

view = dataset.sort_by(
    [
        (F("predictions.detections").length(), -1),
        ("uniqueness", 1),
    ]
)

num_objects, uniqueness = view[:5].values(
    [F("predictions.detections").length(), "uniqueness"]
)
print(list(zip(num_objects, uniqueness)))

Parameters

• field_or_expr –

  the field(s) or expression(s) to sort by. This can be any of the following:

  • a field to sort by

  • an embedded.field.name to sort by

  • a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or a MongoDB aggregation expression that defines the quantity to sort by

  • a list of (field_or_expr, order) tuples defining a compound sort criteria, where field_or_expr is a field or expression as defined above, and order can be 1 or any string starting with “a” for ascending order, or -1 or any string starting with “d” for descending order

• reverse (False) – whether to return the results in descending order

• create_index (True) – whether to create an index, if necessary, to optimize the sort. Only applicable when sorting by field(s), not expressions

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

sort_by_similarity(query, k=None, reverse=False, dist_field=None, brain_key=None)

Sorts the collection by similarity to a specified query.

In order to use this stage, you must first use fiftyone.brain.compute_similarity() to index your dataset by similarity.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.brain as fob
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

fob.compute_similarity(
    dataset, model="clip-vit-base32-torch", brain_key="clip"
)

#
# Sort samples by their similarity to a sample by its ID
#

query_id = dataset.first().id

view = dataset.sort_by_similarity(query_id, k=5)

#
# Sort samples by their similarity to a manually computed vector
#

model = foz.load_zoo_model("clip-vit-base32-torch")
embeddings = dataset.take(2, seed=51).compute_embeddings(model)
query = embeddings.mean(axis=0)

view = dataset.sort_by_similarity(query, k=5)

# Sort samples by their similarity to a text prompt
#

query = "kites high in the air"

view = dataset.sort_by_similarity(query, k=5)

Parameters

• query –

  the query, which can be any of the following:

  • an ID or iterable of IDs

  • a num_dims vector or num_queries x num_dims array of vectors

  • a prompt or iterable of prompts (if supported by the index)

• k (None) – the number of matches to return. By default, the entire collection is sorted

• reverse (False) – whether to sort by least similarity (True) or greatest similarity (False). Some backends may not support least similarity

• dist_field (None) – the name of a float field in which to store the distance of each example to the specified query. The field is created if necessary

• brain_key (None) – the brain key of an existing fiftyone.brain.compute_similarity() run on the dataset. If not specified, the dataset must have an applicable run, which will be used by default

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

split_labels(in_field, out_field, filter=None)

Splits the labels from the given input field into the given output field of the collection.

This method is typically invoked on a view that has filtered the contents of the specified input field, so that the labels in the view are moved to the output field and the remaining labels are left in-place.

Alternatively, you can provide a filter expression that selects the labels of interest to move in this collection.

Parameters

• in_field – the name of the input label field

• out_field – the name of the output label field, which will be created if necessary

• filter (None) – a boolean fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression to apply to each label in the input field to determine whether to move it (True) or leave it (False)

stats(include_media=False, include_indexes=False, compressed=False)

Returns stats about the collection on disk.

The samples keys refer to the sample documents stored in the database.

For video datasets, the frames keys refer to the frame documents stored in the database.

The media keys refer to the raw media associated with each sample on disk.

The index[es] keys refer to the indexes associated with the dataset.

Note that dataset-level metadata such as annotation runs are not included in this computation.

Parameters

• include_media (False) – whether to include stats about the size of the raw media in the collection

• include_indexes (False) – whether to include stats on the dataset’s indexes

• compressed (False) – whether to return the sizes of collections in their compressed form on disk (True) or the logical uncompressed size of the collections (False). This option is only supported for datasets (not views)

Returns

a stats dict

std(field_or_expr, expr=None, safe=False, sample=False)

Computes the standard deviation of the field values of the collection.

None-valued fields are ignored.

This aggregation is typically applied to numeric field types (or lists of such types):

• fiftyone.core.fields.IntField

• fiftyone.core.fields.FloatField

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [

#

std = dataset.std("numeric_list_field")
print(std)  # the standard deviation

#
# Compute the standard deviation of a transformation of a numeric field
#

std = dataset.std(2 * (F("numeric_field") + 1))
print(std)  # the standard deviation

Parameters

• field_or_expr –

  a field name, embedded.field.name, fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression, or MongoDB expression defining the field or expression to aggregate. This can also be a list or tuple of such arguments, in which case a tuple of corresponding aggregation results (each receiving the same additional keyword arguments, if any) will be returned

• expr (None) –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression to apply to field_or_expr (which must be a field) before aggregating

Returns

the standard deviation

sum(field_or_expr, expr=None, safe=False)

#
# Take two random samples from the dataset with a fixed seed
#

view = dataset.take(2, seed=51)

Parameters

• size – the number of samples to return. If a non-positive number is provided, an empty view is returned

• seed (None) – an optional random seed to use when selecting the samples

Returns

a fiftyone.core.view.DatasetView

to_clips(field_or_expr, **kwargs)

Creates a view that contains one sample per clip defined by the given field or expression in the video collection.

The returned view will contain:

• A sample_id field that records the sample ID from which each clip was taken

• A support field that records the [first, last] frame support of each clip

• All frame-level information from the underlying dataset of the input collection

Refer to fiftyone.core.clips.make_clips_dataset() to see the available configuration options for generating clips.

Note

The clip generation logic will respect any frame-level modifications defined in the input collection, but the output clips will always contain all frame-level labels.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-video")

#
# Create a clips view that contains one clip for each contiguous
# segment that contains at least one road sign in every frame
#

clips = (
    dataset
    .filter_labels("frames.detections", F("label") == "road sign")
    .to_clips("frames.detections")
)
print(clips)

#
# Create a clips view that contains one clip for each contiguous
# segment that contains at least two road signs in every frame
#

signs = F("detections.detections").filter(F("label") == "road sign")
clips = dataset.to_clips(signs.length() >= 2)
print(clips)

Parameters

• field_or_expr –

  can be any of the following:

  • a fiftyone.core.labels.TemporalDetection, fiftyone.core.labels.TemporalDetections, fiftyone.core.fields.FrameSupportField, or list of fiftyone.core.fields.FrameSupportField field

  • a frame-level label list field of any of the following types:

    • fiftyone.core.labels.Classifications

    • fiftyone.core.labels.Detections

    • fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines

    • fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints

  • a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression that returns a boolean to apply to each frame of the input collection to determine if the frame should be clipped

  • a list of [(first1, last1), (first2, last2), ...] lists defining the frame numbers of the clips to extract from each sample

• other_fields (None) –

  controls whether sample fields other than the default sample fields are included. Can be any of the following:

  • a field or list of fields to include

  • True to include all other fields

  • None/False to include no other fields

• tol (0) – the maximum number of false frames that can be overlooked when generating clips. Only applicable when field_or_expr is a frame-level list field or expression

• min_len (0) – the minimum allowable length of a clip, in frames. Only applicable when field_or_expr is a frame-level list field or an expression

• trajectories (False) – whether to create clips for each unique object trajectory defined by their (label, index). Only applicable when field_or_expr is a frame-level field

Returns

a fiftyone.core.clips.ClipsView

to_evaluation_patches(eval_key, **kwargs)

Creates a view based on the results of the evaluation with the given key that contains one sample for each true positive, false positive, and false negative example in the collection, respectively.

True positive examples will result in samples with both their ground truth and predicted fields populated, while false positive/negative examples will only have one of their corresponding predicted/ground truth fields populated, respectively.

If multiple predictions are matched to a ground truth object (e.g., if the evaluation protocol includes a crowd attribute), then all matched predictions will be stored in the single sample along with the ground truth object.

The returned dataset will also have top-level type and iou fields populated based on the evaluation results for that example, as well as a sample_id field recording the sample ID of the example, and a crowd field if the evaluation protocol defines a crowd attribute.

Note

The returned view will contain patches for the contents of this collection, which may differ from the view on which the eval_key evaluation was performed. This may exclude some labels that were evaluated and/or include labels that were not evaluated.

If you would like to see patches for the exact view on which an evaluation was performed, first call load_evaluation_view() to load the view and then convert to patches.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")
dataset.evaluate_detections("predictions", eval_key="eval")

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

#
# Create a patches view for the evaluation results
#

view = dataset.to_evaluation_patches("eval")
print(view)

session.view = view

Parameters

• eval_key – an evaluation key that corresponds to the evaluation of ground truth/predicted fields that are of type fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines, or fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints

• other_fields (None) –

  controls whether fields other than the ground truth/predicted fields and the default sample fields are included. Can be any of the following:

  • a field or list of fields to include

  • True to include all other fields

  • None/False to include no other fields

Returns

a fiftyone.core.patches.EvaluationPatchesView

to_frames(**kwargs)

Creates a view that contains one sample per frame in the video collection.

The returned view will contain all frame-level fields and the tags of each video as sample-level fields, as well as a sample_id field that records the IDs of the parent sample for each frame.

By default, sample_frames is False and this method assumes that the frames of the input collection have filepath fields populated pointing to each frame image. Any frames without a filepath populated will be omitted from the returned view.

When sample_frames is True, this method samples each video in the collection into a directory of per-frame images and stores the filepaths in the filepath frame field of the source dataset. By default, each folder of images is written using the same basename as the input video. For example, if frames_patt = "%%06d.jpg", then videos with the following paths:

/path/to/video1.mp4
/path/to/video2.mp4
...

would be sampled as follows:

/path/to/video1/
    000001.jpg
    000002.jpg
    ...
/path/to/video2/
    000001.jpg
    000002.jpg
    ...

However, you can use the optional output_dir and rel_dir parameters to customize the location and shape of the sampled frame folders. For example, if output_dir = "/tmp" and rel_dir = "/path/to", then videos with the following paths:

/path/to/folderA/video1.mp4
/path/to/folderA/video2.mp4
/path/to/folderB/video3.mp4
...

would be sampled as follows:

/tmp/folderA/
    video1/
        000001.jpg
        000002.jpg
        ...
    video2/
        000001.jpg
        000002.jpg
        ...
/tmp/folderB/
    video3/
        000001.jpg
        000002.jpg
        ...

By default, samples will be generated for every video frame at full resolution, but this method provides a variety of parameters that can be used to customize the sampling behavior.

Note

If this method is run multiple times with sample_frames set to True, existing frames will not be resampled unless you set force_sample to True.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-video")

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

#
# Create a frames view for an entire video dataset
#

frames = dataset.to_frames(sample_frames=True)
print(frames)

session.view = frames

#
# Create a frames view that only contains frames with at least 10
# objects, sampled at a maximum frame rate of 1fps
#

num_objects = F("detections.detections").length()
view = dataset.match_frames(num_objects > 10)

frames = view.to_frames(max_fps=1)
print(frames)

session.view = frames

Parameters

• sample_frames (False) – whether to assume that the frame images have already been sampled at locations stored in the filepath field of each frame (False), or whether to sample the video frames now according to the specified parameters (True)

• fps (None) – an optional frame rate at which to sample each video’s frames

• max_fps (None) – an optional maximum frame rate at which to sample. Videos with frame rate exceeding this value are downsampled

• size (None) – an optional (width, height) at which to sample frames. A dimension can be -1, in which case the aspect ratio is preserved. Only applicable when sample_frames=True

• min_size (None) – an optional minimum (width, height) for each frame. A dimension can be -1 if no constraint should be applied. The frames are resized (aspect-preserving) if necessary to meet this constraint. Only applicable when sample_frames=True

• max_size (None) – an optional maximum (width, height) for each frame. A dimension can be -1 if no constraint should be applied. The frames are resized (aspect-preserving) if necessary to meet this constraint. Only applicable when sample_frames=True

• sparse (False) – whether to only sample frame images for frame numbers for which fiftyone.core.frame.Frame instances exist in the input collection. This parameter has no effect when sample_frames==False since frames must always exist in order to have filepath information use

• output_dir (None) – an optional output directory in which to write the sampled frames. By default, the frames are written in folders with the same basename of each video

• rel_dir (None) – a relative directory to remove from the filepath of each video, if possible. The path is converted to an absolute path (if necessary) via fiftyone.core.storage.normalize_path(). This argument can be used in conjunction with output_dir to cause the sampled frames to be written in a nested directory structure within output_dir matching the shape of the input video’s folder structure

• frames_patt (None) – a pattern specifying the filename/format to use to write or check or existing sampled frames, e.g., "%%06d.jpg". The default value is fiftyone.config.default_sequence_idx + fiftyone.config.default_image_ext

• force_sample (False) – whether to resample videos whose sampled frames already exist. Only applicable when sample_frames=True

• skip_failures (True) – whether to gracefully continue without raising an error if a video cannot be sampled

• verbose (False) – whether to log information about the frames that will be sampled, if any

Returns

a fiftyone.core.video.FramesView

to_json(rel_dir=None, include_private=False, include_frames=False, frame_labels_dir=None, pretty_print=False)

Returns a JSON string representation of the collection.

The samples will be written as a list in a top-level samples field of the returned dictionary.

Parameters

• rel_dir (None) – a relative directory to remove from the filepath of each sample, if possible. The path is converted to an absolute path (if necessary) via fiftyone.core.storage.normalize_path(). The typical use case for this argument is that your source data lives in a single directory and you wish to serialize relative, rather than absolute, paths to the data within that directory

• include_private (False) – whether to include private fields

• include_frames (False) – whether to include the frame labels for video samples

• frame_labels_dir (None) – a directory in which to write per-sample JSON files containing the frame labels for video samples. If omitted, frame labels will be included directly in the returned JSON dict (which can be quite quite large for video datasets containing many frames). Only applicable to datasets that contain videos when include_frames is True

• pretty_print (False) – whether to render the JSON in human readable format with newlines and indentations

Returns

a JSON string

to_patches(field, **kwargs)

Creates a view that contains one sample per object patch in the specified field of the collection.

Fields other than field and the default sample fields will not be included in the returned view. A sample_id field will be added that records the sample ID from which each patch was taken.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

#
# Create a view containing the ground truth patches
#

view = dataset.to_patches("ground_truth")
print(view)

session.view = view

Parameters

• field – the patches field, which must be of type fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines, or fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints

• other_fields (None) –

  controls whether fields other than field and the default sample fields are included. Can be any of the following:

  • a field or list of fields to include

  • True to include all other fields

  • None/False to include no other fields

• keep_label_lists (False) – whether to store the patches in label list fields of the same type as the input collection rather than using their single label variants

Returns

a fiftyone.core.patches.PatchesView

to_trajectories(field, **kwargs)

Creates a view that contains one clip for each unique object trajectory defined by their (label, index) in a frame-level field of a video collection.

The returned view will contain:

• A sample_id field that records the sample ID from which each clip was taken

• A support field that records the [first, last] frame support of each clip

• A sample-level label field that records the label and index of each trajectory

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart-video")

#
# Create a trajectories view for the vehicles in the dataset
#

trajectories = (
    dataset
    .filter_labels("frames.detections", F("label") == "vehicle")
    .to_trajectories("frames.detections")
)

print(trajectories)

Parameters

• field –

  a frame-level label list field of any of the following types:

  • fiftyone.core.labels.Detections

  • fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines

  • fiftyone.core.labels.Keypoints

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments for fiftyone.core.clips.make_clips_dataset() specifying how to perform the conversion

Returns

a fiftyone.core.clips.TrajectoriesView

untag_labels(tags, label_fields=None)

Removes the tag from all labels in the specified label field(s) of this collection, if necessary.

Parameters

• tags – a tag or iterable of tags

• label_fields (None) – an optional name or iterable of names of fiftyone.core.labels.Label fields. By default, all label fields are used

untag_samples(tags)

Removes the tag(s) from all samples in this collection, if necessary.

Parameters

tags – a tag or iterable of tags

update_run_config(run_key, config)

Updates the run config for the run with the given key.

Parameters

• run_key – a run key

• config – a fiftyone.core.runs.RunConfig

validate_field_type(path, ftype=None, embedded_doc_type=None)

Validates that the collection has a field of the given type.

Parameters

• path – a field name or embedded.field.name

• ftype (None) – an optional field type to enforce. Must be a subclass of fiftyone.core.fields.Field

• embedded_doc_type (None) – an optional embedded document type or iterable of types to enforce. Must be a subclass(es) of fiftyone.core.odm.BaseEmbeddedDocument

Raises

ValueError – if the field does not exist or does not have the expected type

validate_fields_exist(fields, include_private=False)

Validates that the collection has field(s) with the given name(s).

If embedded field names are provided, only the root field is checked.

Parameters

• fields – a field name or iterable of field names

• include_private (False) – whether to include private fields when checking for existence

Raises

ValueError – if one or more of the fields do not exist

values(field_or_expr, expr=None, missing_value=None, unwind=False, _allow_missing=False, _big_result=True, _raw=False, _field=None)

Extracts the values of a field from all samples in the collection.

Values aggregations are useful for efficiently extracting a slice of field or embedded field values across all samples in a collection. See the examples below for more details.

The dual function of values() is set_values(), which can be used to efficiently set a field or embedded field of all samples in a collection by providing lists of values of same structure returned by this aggregation.

Note

Unlike other aggregations, values() does not automatically unwind list fields, which ensures that the returned values match the potentially-nested structure of the documents.

You can opt-in to unwinding specific list fields using the [] syntax, or you can pass the optional unwind=True parameter to unwind all supported list fields. See Aggregating list fields for more information.

Examples:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz
from fiftyone import ViewField as F

dataset = fo.Dataset()
dataset.add_samples(
    [
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image1.png",
            numeric_field=1.0,
            numeric_list_field=[1, 2, 3],
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image2.png",
            numeric_field=4.0,
            numeric_list_field=[1, 2],
        ),
        fo.Sample(
            filepath="/path/to/image3.png",
            numeric_field=None,
            numeric_list_field=None,
        ),
    ]
)

#
# Get all values of a field
#

values = dataset.values("numeric_field")
print(values)  # [1.0, 4.0, None]

#
# Get all values of a list field
#

values = dataset.values("numeric_list_field")
print(values)  # [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2], None]

#
# Get all values of transformed field
#

values = dataset.values(2 * (F("numeric_field") + 1))
print(values)  # [4.0, 10.0, None]

#
# Get values from a label list field
#

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

# list of `Detections`
detections = dataset.values("ground_truth")

# list of lists of `Detection` instances
detections = dataset.values("ground_truth.detections")

# list of lists of detection labels
labels = dataset.values("ground_truth.detections.label")

Parameters

• field_or_expr –

  a field name, embedded.field.name, fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression, or MongoDB expression defining the field or expression to aggregate. This can also be a list or tuple of such arguments, in which case a tuple of corresponding aggregation results (each receiving the same additional keyword arguments, if any) will be returned

• expr (None) –

  a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression or MongoDB expression to apply to field_or_expr (which must be a field) before aggregating

• missing_value (None) – a value to insert for missing or None-valued fields

Returns

the list of values

write_json(json_path, rel_dir=None, include_private=False, include_frames=False, frame_labels_dir=None, pretty_print=False)

Writes the colllection to disk in JSON format.

Parameters

• json_path – the path to write the JSON

• rel_dir (None) – a relative directory to remove from the filepath of each sample, if possible. The path is converted to an absolute path (if necessary) via fiftyone.core.storage.normalize_path(). The typical use case for this argument is that your source data lives in a single directory and you wish to serialize relative, rather than absolute, paths to the data within that directory

• include_private (False) – whether to include private fields

• include_frames (False) – whether to include the frame labels for video samples

• frame_labels_dir (None) – a directory in which to write per-sample JSON files containing the frame labels for video samples. If omitted, frame labels will be included directly in the returned JSON dict (which can be quite quite large for video datasets containing many frames). Only applicable to datasets that contain videos when include_frames is True

• pretty_print (False) – whether to render the JSON in human readable format with newlines and indentations

fiftyone.core.view.make_optimized_select_view(sample_collection, sample_ids, ordered=False, groups=False, flatten=False)

Returns a view that selects the provided sample IDs that is optimized to reduce the document list as early as possible in the pipeline.

Warning

This method deletes any other view stages that reorder/select documents, so the returned view may not respect the order of the documents in the input collection.

Parameters

• sample_collection – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• sample_ids – a sample ID or iterable of sample IDs to select

• ordered (False) – whether to sort the samples in the returned view to match the order of the provided IDs

• groups (False) – whether the IDs are group IDs, not sample IDs

• flatten (False) – whether to flatten group datasets before selecting sample ids

Returns

a DatasetView
