Custom Metadata

Metadata can be customized as needed using: meta dictionaries:

  • As a top-level key for metadata applying to entire frame
  • In rois dictionaries, for metadata applying to individual ROIs.

Usage

Adding Frame Metadata

When instantiating a SingleFrame, metadata that applies to the entire frame can be added as an argument:

from allegroai import SingleFrame

# create a frame with metadata
frame = SingleFrame(
source='https://allegro-datasets.s3.amazonaws.com/tutorials/000012.jpg',
preview_uri='https://allegro-datasets.s3.amazonaws.com/tutorials/000012.jpg',
# insert metadata dictionary
metadata={'alive':'yes'},
)

# add metadata to the frame
frame.metadata['dangerous'] = 'no'

Adding ROI Metadata

Metadata can be added to individual ROIs when adding an annotation to a frame, using SingleFrame.add_annotation():

frame.add_annotation(
box2d_xywh=(10, 10, 30, 20),
labels=['tiger'],
# insert metadata dictionary
metadata={'dangerous':'yes'}
)
