class documentation

Interface for importing datasets of labeled video samples.

Typically, dataset importers should implement the parameters documented on this class, although this is not mandatory.

See :ref:`this page <writing-a-custom-dataset-importer>` for information about implementing/using dataset importers.

Parameters
dataset_dirthe dataset directory. This may be optional for some importers
shufflewhether to randomly shuffle the order in which the samples are imported
seeda random seed to use when shuffling
max_samplesa maximum number of samples to import. By default, all samples are imported
Method __next__ Returns information about the next sample in the dataset.
Property frame_labels_cls The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer within the frame labels that it produces.
Property has_video_metadata Whether this importer produces fiftyone.core.metadata.VideoMetadata instances for each video.
Property label_cls The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer within the sample-level labels that it produces.

Inherited from DatasetImporter:

Method __enter__ Undocumented
Method __exit__ Undocumented
Method __init__ Undocumented
Method __iter__ Undocumented
Method __len__ The total number of samples that will be imported.
Method close Performs any necessary actions after the last sample has been imported.
Method get_dataset_info Returns the dataset info for the dataset.
Method setup Performs any necessary setup before importing the first sample in the dataset.
Property has_dataset_info Whether this importer produces a dataset info dictionary.
Method _preprocess_list Internal utility that preprocesses the given list---which is presumed to be a list defining the samples that should be imported---by applying the values of the shuffle, seed, and max_samples parameters of the importer.
def __next__(self): (source)

Returns information about the next sample in the dataset.

Returns

Raises
StopIterationif there are no more samples to import

The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer within the frame labels that it produces.

This can be any of the following:

  • a fiftyone.core.labels.Label class. In this case, the importer is guaranteed to return frame labels of this type
  • a list or tuple of fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer can produce a single frame label field of any of these types
  • a dict mapping keys to fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer will return frame label dictionaries with keys and value-types specified by this dictionary. Not all keys need be present in each frame
  • None. In this case, the importer makes no guarantees about the frame labels that it may return

The fiftyone.core.labels.Label class(es) returned by this importer within the sample-level labels that it produces.

This can be any of the following:

  • a fiftyone.core.labels.Label class. In this case, the importer is guaranteed to return sample-level labels of this type
  • a list or tuple of fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer can produce a single sample-level label field of any of these types
  • a dict mapping keys to fiftyone.core.labels.Label classes. In this case, the importer will return sample-level 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 sample-level labels that it may return
