Starwhale Data Types

COCOObjectAnnotation​

It provides definitions following the COCO format.

COCOObjectAnnotation(
id: int,
image_id: int,
category_id: int,
segmentation: Union[t.List, t.Dict],
area: Union[float, int],
bbox: Union[BoundingBox, t.List[float]],
iscrowd: int,
)
ParameterDescription
idObject id, usually a globally incrementing id
image_idImage id, usually id of the image
category_idCategory id, usually id of the class in object detection
segmentationObject contour representation, Polygon (polygon vertices) or RLE format
areaObject area
bboxRepresents bounding box, can be BoundingBox type or list of floats
iscrowd0 indicates a single object, 1 indicates two unseparated objects

Examples​

def _make_coco_annotations(
self, mask_fpath: Path, image_id: int
) -> t.List[COCOObjectAnnotation]:
mask_img = PILImage.open(str(mask_fpath))

mask = np.array(mask_img)
object_ids = np.unique(mask)[1:]
binary_mask = mask == object_ids[:, None, None]
# TODO: tune permute without pytorch
binary_mask_tensor = torch.as_tensor(binary_mask, dtype=torch.uint8)
binary_mask_tensor = (
binary_mask_tensor.permute(0, 2, 1).contiguous().permute(0, 2, 1)
)

coco_annotations = []
for i in range(0, len(object_ids)):
_pos = np.where(binary_mask[i])
_xmin, _ymin = float(np.min(_pos[1])), float(np.min(_pos[0]))
_xmax, _ymax = float(np.max(_pos[1])), float(np.max(_pos[0]))
_bbox = BoundingBox(
x=_xmin, y=_ymin, width=_xmax - _xmin, height=_ymax - _ymin
)

rle: t.Dict = coco_mask.encode(binary_mask_tensor[i].numpy()) # type: ignore
rle["counts"] = rle["counts"].decode("utf-8")

coco_annotations.append(
COCOObjectAnnotation(
id=self.object_id,
image_id=image_id,
category_id=1, # PennFudan Dataset only has one class-PASPersonStanding
segmentation=rle,
area=_bbox.width * _bbox.height,
bbox=_bbox,
iscrowd=0, # suppose all instances are not crowd
)
)
self.object_id += 1

return coco_annotations

GrayscaleImage​

GrayscaleImage provides a grayscale image type. It is a special case of the Image type, for example the digit images in MNIST.

GrayscaleImage(
fp: _TArtifactFP = "",
display_name: str = "",
shape: Optional[_TShape] = None,
as_mask: bool = False,
mask_uri: str = "",
)
ParameterDescription
fpImage path, IO object, or file content bytes
display_nameDisplay name shown in Dataset Viewer
shapeImage width and height, default channel is 1
as_maskWhether used as a mask image
mask_uriURI of the original image for the mask

Examples​

for i in range(0, min(data_number, label_number)):
_data = data_file.read(image_size)
_label = struct.unpack(">B", label_file.read(1))[0]
yield GrayscaleImage(
_data,
display_name=f"{i}",
shape=(height, width, 1),
), {"label": _label}

GrayscaleImage Functions​

GrayscaleImage.to_types​

to_bytes(encoding: str= "utf-8") -> bytes

GrayscaleImage.carry_raw_data​

carry_raw_data() -> GrayscaleImage

GrayscaleImage.astype​

astype() -> Dict[str, t.Any]

BoundingBox​

BoundingBox provides a bounding box type, currently in LTWH format:

  • left_x: x-coordinate of left edge
  • top_y: y-coordinate of top edge
  • width: width of bounding box
  • height: height of bounding box

So it represents the bounding box using the coordinates of its left, top, width and height. This is a common format for specifying bounding boxes in computer vision tasks.

BoundingBox(
x: float,
y: float,
width: float,
height: float
)
ParameterDescription
xx-coordinate of left edge (left_x)
yy-coordinate of top edge (top_y)
widthWidth of bounding box
heightHeight of bounding box

ClassLabel​

Describe labels.

ClassLabel(
names: List[Union[int, float, str]]
)

Image​

Image Type.

Image(
fp: _TArtifactFP = "",
display_name: str = "",
shape: Optional[_TShape] = None,
mime_type: Optional[MIMEType] = None,
as_mask: bool = False,
mask_uri: str = "",
)
ParameterDescription
fpImage path, IO object, or file content bytes
display_nameDisplay name shown in Dataset Viewer
shapeImage width, height and channels
mime_typeMIMEType supported types
as_maskWhether used as a mask image
mask_uriURI of the original image for the mask

The main difference from GrayscaleImage is that Image supports multi-channel RGB images by specifying shape as (W, H, C).

import io
import typing as t
import pickle

from starwhale import Image, MIMEType

def _iter_item(paths: t.List[Path]) -> t.Generator[t.Tuple[t.Any, t.Dict], None, None]:

for data, label, filename in zip(
content[b"data"], content[b"labels"], content[b"filenames"]
):
annotations = {
"label": label,
"label_display_name": dataset_meta["label_names"][label],
}

image_array = data.reshape(3, 32, 32).transpose(1, 2, 0)
image_bytes = io.BytesIO()
PILImage.fromarray(image_array).save(image_bytes, format="PNG")

yield Image(
fp=image_bytes.getvalue(),
display_name=filename.decode(),
shape=image_array.shape,
