class documentation

Creates a view that contains one sample per clip defined by the given field or expression in 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
  • 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
#

stage1 = fo.FilterLabels("frames.detections", F("label") == "road sign")
stage2 = fo.ToClips("frames.detections")
clips = dataset.add_stage(stage1).add_stage(stage2)
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")
stage = fo.ToClips(signs.length() >= 2)
clips = dataset.add_stage(stage)
print(clips)
