class documentation

Cityscapes is a large-scale dataset that contains a diverse set of stereo video sequences recorded in street scenes from 50 different cities, with high quality pixel-level annotations of 5,000 frames in addition to a larger set of 20,000 weakly annotated frames.

The dataset is intended for:

  • Assessing the performance of vision algorithms for major tasks of semantic urban scene understanding: pixel-level, instance-level, and panoptic semantic labeling
  • Supporting research that aims to exploit large volumes of (weakly) annotated data, e.g. for training deep neural networks

In order to load the Cityscapes dataset, you must download the source data manually. The directory should be organized in the following format:

source_dir/
    leftImg8bit_trainvaltest.zip
    gtFine_trainvaltest.zip             # optional
    gtCoarse.zip                        # optional
    gtBbox_cityPersons_trainval.zip     # optional

You can register at https://www.cityscapes-dataset.com/register in order to get links to download the data.

Example usage:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

# The path to the source files that you manually downloaded
source_dir = "/path/to/dir-with-cityscapes-files"

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset(
    "cityscapes",
    split="validation",
    source_dir=source_dir,
)

session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

Static Method load_info Loads the ZooDatasetInfo from the given dataset directory.
Method download_and_prepare Downloads the dataset and prepares it for use.
Method get_split_dir Returns the directory for the given split of the dataset.
Method has_split Whether the dataset has the given split.
Method has_tag Whether the dataset has the given tag.
Property has_patches Whether the dataset has patches that may need to be applied to already downloaded files.
Property has_splits Whether the dataset has splits.
Property has_tags Whether the dataset has tags.
Property importer_kwargs A dict of default kwargs to pass to this dataset's fiftyone.utils.data.importers.DatasetImporter.
Property is_remote Whether the dataset is remotely-sourced.
Property parameters An optional dict of parameters describing the configuration of the zoo dataset when it was downloaded.
Property supports_partial_downloads Whether the dataset supports downloading partial subsets of its splits.

The name of the dataset.

@property
requires_manual_download = (source)

Whether this dataset requires some files to be manually downloaded by the user before the dataset can be loaded.

@property
supported_splits = (source)

A tuple of supported splits for the dataset, or None if the dataset does not have splits.

A tuple of tags for the dataset.

def _download_and_prepare(self, dataset_dir, scratch_dir, split): (source)

Internal implementation of downloading the dataset and preparing it for use in the given directory.

Parameters
dataset_dirthe directory in which to construct the dataset. If a split is provided, this is the directory for the split
scratch_dira scratch directory to use to download and prepare any required intermediate files
splitthe split to download, or None if the dataset does not have splits
Returns
tuple of
  • dataset_type: the fiftyone.types.Dataset type of the dataset
  • num_samples: the number of samples in the split. For datasets that support partial downloads, this can be None, which indicates that all content was already downloaded
  • classes: an optional list of class label strings
