Functions:

get_geolocation(image_path)

Retrieves the geolocation information from the given GeoTIFF image.

Classes:

GeoTIFFDatasetImporter([dataset_dir, …])

Importer for a directory of GeoTIFF images with geolocation data.

fiftyone.utils.geotiff.get_geolocation(image_path)

Retrieves the geolocation information from the given GeoTIFF image.

The returned fiftyone.core.labels.GeoLocation will contain the lon/lat coordinates of the center of the image in its point attribute and the coordinates of its corners (clockwise, starting from the top-left) in its polygon attribute.

Parameters

image_path – the path to the GeoTIFF image

Returns

a fiftyone.core.labels.GeoLocation

class fiftyone.utils.geotiff.GeoTIFFDatasetImporter(dataset_dir=None, image_path=None, recursive=True, compute_metadata=False, shuffle=False, seed=None, max_samples=None)

Bases: fiftyone.utils.data.importers.LabeledImageDatasetImporter, fiftyone.utils.data.importers.ImportPathsMixin

Importer for a directory of GeoTIFF images with geolocation data.

See this page for format details.

Parameters

• dataset_dir (None) – the dataset directory. If omitted, image_path must be provided

• image_path (None) –

  an optional parameter that enables explicit control over the location of the GeoTIFF images. Can be any of the following:

  • a list of paths to GeoTIFF images. In this case, dataset_dir has no effect

  • a glob pattern like "*.tif" specifying the location of the images in dataset_dir

  • an absolute glob pattern of GeoTIFF images. In this case, dataset_dir has no effect

• recursive (True) – whether to recursively traverse subdirectories. Not applicable when image_path is provided

• compute_metadata (False) – whether to produce fiftyone.core.metadata.ImageMetadata instances for each image when importing

• shuffle (False) – whether to randomly shuffle the order in which the samples are imported

• seed (None) – a random seed to use when shuffling

• max_samples (None) – a maximum number of samples to import. By default, all samples are imported

Attributes:

has_image_metadata	Whether this importer produces fiftyone.core.metadata.ImageMetadata instances for each image.
has_dataset_info	Whether this importer produces a dataset info dictionary.
label_cls	The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer.

Methods:

setup()	Performs any necessary setup before importing the first sample in the dataset.
close(*args)	Performs any necessary actions after the last sample has been imported.
get_dataset_info()	Returns the dataset info for the dataset.

property has_image_metadata

Whether this importer produces fiftyone.core.metadata.ImageMetadata instances for each image.

property has_dataset_info

Whether this importer produces a dataset info dictionary.

property label_cls

The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer.

This can be any of the following:

• a fiftyone.core.labels.Label class. In this case, the importer is guaranteed to return labels of this type

• a list or tuple of fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer can produce a single label field of any of these types

• a dict mapping keys to fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer will return label dictionaries with keys and value-types specified by this dictionary. Not all keys need be present in the imported labels

• None. In this case, the importer makes no guarantees about the labels that it may return

setup()

Performs any necessary setup before importing the first sample in the dataset.

This method is called when the importer’s context manager interface is entered, DatasetImporter.__enter__().

close(*args)

Performs any necessary actions after the last sample has been imported.

This method is called when the importer’s context manager interface is exited, DatasetImporter.__exit__().

Parameters

*args – the arguments to DatasetImporter.__exit__()

get_dataset_info()

Returns the dataset info for the dataset.

By convention, this method should be called after all samples in the dataset have been imported.

Returns

a dict of dataset info
