class fiftyone.utils.annotations.AnnotationResults(samples, config, anno_key, id_map, backend=None)

Bases: fiftyone.core.annotation.AnnotationResults

Base class for storing the intermediate results of an annotation run that has been initiated and is waiting for its results to be merged back into the FiftyOne dataset.

The id_map dictionary must record the IDs of any existing labels that are being edited by the annotation run. Any new label fields do not need to have keys in this dictionary.

For image datasets, id_map should have the following format:

{
    "<label-field>": {
        "<sample-id>": "label-id" or ["label-id", ...],
        ...
    },
    ...
}

For video datasets, id_map should have the following format:

{
    "<label-field>": {
        "<sample-id>": {
            "<frame-id>": label-id" or ["label-id", ...],
            ...
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}

When editing scalar fields, set the dictionary values corresponding to uploaded scalars to True (since scalars do not have IDs).

If a particular sample or frame was included in the annotation run but no labels/scalars were uploaded for editing, the corresponding entry in id_map can be either missing or have a value of None.

Note

This class is serialized for storage in the database by calling serialize().

Any public attributes of this class are included in the representation generated by serialize(), so they must be JSON serializable.

Parameters

• samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• config – an AnnotationBackendConfig

• anno_key – the annotation key

• id_map – a dictionary recording the existing label IDs, in the format described above

attributes()

Returns a list of class attributes to be serialized.

This method is called internally by serialize() to determine the class attributes to serialize.

Subclasses can override this method, but, by default, all attributes in vars(self) are returned, minus private attributes, i.e., those starting with “_”. The order of the attributes in this list is preserved when serializing objects, so a common pattern is for subclasses to override this method if they want their JSON files to be organized in a particular way.

Returns

a list of class attributes to be serialized

classmethod builder()

Returns a ConfigBuilder instance for this class.

property colormap

copy()

Returns a deep copy of the object.

property scale_factor

serialize(reflective=False)

Serializes the object into a dictionary.

Serialization is applied recursively to all attributes in the object, including element-wise serialization of lists and dictionary values.

Parameters

reflective – whether to include reflective attributes when serializing the object. By default, this is False

Returns

a JSON dictionary representation of the object

set_media_size(frame_size=None, shape=None, img=None)

Sets the size of the media to the given value. This allows for optimizing font sizes, linewidths, and logo resolutions to suit the dimensions of the media being annotated.

Exactly one keyword argument must be provided.

Parameters

• frame_size – the (width, height) of the image/video frame

• shape – the (height, width, …) of the image/video frame, e.g. from img.shape

• img – an example image/video frame

to_str(pretty_print=True, **kwargs)

Returns a string representation of this object.

Parameters

• pretty_print – whether to render the JSON in human readable format with newlines and indentations. By default, this is True

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments for self.serialize()

Returns

a string representation of the object

static validate_all_or_nothing_fields(fields)

Validates a dictionary of pre-parsed fields checking that either all or none of the fields have a truthy value.

Parameters

fields – a dictionary of pre-parsed fields

Raises

ConfigError – if some values are truth and some are not

write_json(path, pretty_print=False, **kwargs)

Serializes the object and writes it to disk.

Parameters

• path – the output path

• pretty_print – whether to render the JSON in human readable format with newlines and indentations. By default, this is False

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments for self.serialize()

fiftyone.utils.annotations.draw_labeled_images(samples, output_dir, rel_dir=None, label_fields=None, config=None, progress=None, **kwargs)

Renders annotated versions of the images in the collection with the specified label data overlaid to the given directory.

The filenames of the sample images are maintained, unless a name conflict would occur in output_dir, in which case an index of the form "-%d" % count is appended to the base filename.

The images are written in format fo.config.default_image_ext.

Parameters

• samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• output_dir – the directory to write the annotated images

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

• label_fields (None) – a label field or list of label fields to render. If omitted, all compatible fields are rendered

• config (None) – an optional DrawConfig configuring how to draw the labels

• 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 specifying parameters of the default DrawConfig to override

Returns

the list of paths to the labeled images

fiftyone.utils.annotations.draw_labeled_image(sample, outpath, label_fields=None, config=None, **kwargs)

Renders an annotated version of the sample’s image with the specified label data overlaid to disk.

Parameters

• sample – a fiftyone.core.sample.Sample

• outpath – the path to write the annotated image

• label_fields (None) – a label field or list of label fields to render. If omitted, all compatible fields are rendered

• config (None) – an optional DrawConfig configuring how to draw the labels

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments specifying parameters of the default DrawConfig to override

fiftyone.utils.annotations.draw_labeled_videos(samples, output_dir, rel_dir=None, label_fields=None, config=None, progress=None, **kwargs)

Renders annotated versions of the videos in the collection with the specified label data overlaid to the given directory.

The filenames of the videos are maintained, unless a name conflict would occur in output_dir, in which case an index of the form "-%d" % count is appended to the base filename.

The videos are written in format fo.config.default_video_ext.

Parameters

• samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• output_dir – the directory to write the annotated videos

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

• label_fields (None) – a label field or list of label fields to render. If omitted, all compatible fields are rendered

• config (None) – an optional DrawConfig configuring how to draw the labels

• 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 specifying parameters of the default DrawConfig to override

Returns

the list of paths to the labeled videos

fiftyone.utils.annotations.draw_labeled_video(sample, outpath, support=None, label_fields=None, config=None, **kwargs)

Renders an annotated version of the sample’s video with the specified label data overlaid to disk.

Parameters

• sample – a fiftyone.core.sample.Sample

• outpath – the path to write the annotated image

• support (None) – an optional [first, last] range of frames to render

• label_fields (None) – a label field or list of label fields to render. If omitted, all compatible fields are rendered

• config (None) – an optional DrawConfig configuring how to draw the labels

• **kwargs – optional keyword arguments specifying parameters of the default DrawConfig to override
