labelstudio

sleap_io.io.labelstudio

This module handles direct I/O operations for working with Labelstudio files.

Some important nomenclature
  • tasks: typically maps to a single frame of data to be annotated, closest correspondance is to LabeledFrame
  • annotations: collection of points, polygons, relations, etc. corresponds to Instances and Points, but a flattened hierarchy

build_relation_map(annotations)

Build a two-way relationship map between annotations.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
annotations Iterable[dict]

annotations, presumably, containing relation types

required

Returns:

Type Description
Dict[str, List[str]]

A two way map of relations indexed by from_id and to_id fields.
