Plugins Overview

FiftyOne provides a powerful plugin framework that allows for extending and customizing the functionality of the tool to suit your specific needs.

With plugins, you can add new functionality to the FiftyOne App, create integrations with other tools and APIs, render custom panels, and add custom actions to menus. You can even schedule long running tasks from within the App that execute on a connected workflow orchestration tool like Apache Airflow.

Get started with plugins by installing some popular plugins, then try your hand at writing your own!

Note

Check out the FiftyOne plugins repository for a growing collection of plugins that you can easily download and use locally.

Want to send data for annotation from within the App? Sure thing! Just install the @voxel51/annotation plugin:

Have model predictions on your dataset that you want to evaluate? The @voxel51/evaluation plugin makes it easy:

Need to compute embedding for your dataset? Kick off the task with the @voxel51/brain plugin and proceed with other work while the execution happens in the background:

Want to create a custom dashboard that displays statistics of interest about the current dataset? Just install the @voxel51/dashboard plugin and build away:

Note

When you choose delegated execution in the App, these tasks are automatically scheduled for execution on your connected orchestrator and you can continue with other work!

FiftyOne also includes a number of builtin features that are implemented as plugins. For example, Panels are miniature full-featured data applications that you can open in App Spaces and interactively manipulate to explore your dataset and update/respond to updates from other spaces that are currently open in the App.

Does your dataset have geolocation data? Use the Map panel to view it:

Want to visualize embeddings in the App? Just open the Embeddings panel:
