transform

sleap_io.transform

Transform module for coordinate-aware video transformations.

This module provides geometric transformations for videos and label coordinates: - Cropping: Extract rectangular regions with coordinate offset - Scaling: Resize by ratio or to pixel dimensions - Rotation: Rotate around frame center with coordinate transformation - Padding: Add borders with coordinate offset

All transformations automatically adjust landmark coordinates in SLEAP labels to maintain alignment with the transformed video.

Example

import sleap_io as sio from pathlib import Path labels = sio.load_slp("predictions.slp") transform = sio.Transform(crop=(100, 100, 500, 500), scale=(0.5, 0.5)) result = sio.transform_labels(labels, transform, Path("output.slp"))

Transform

Composable geometric transformation for video frames and coordinates.

Transforms are applied in a fixed pipeline order: crop -> scale -> rotate -> pad -> flip. This ensures consistent and predictable behavior when combining transforms.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
crop

Crop region as (x1, y1, x2, y2) pixel coordinates. The region from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) is extracted, where (x2, y2) is exclusive.

scale

Scale factors as (scale_x, scale_y). Use (0.5, 0.5) for 50% size. Can also be specified as a single float for uniform scaling.

rotate

Rotation angle in degrees. Positive values rotate clockwise.

pad

Padding as (top, right, bottom, left) in pixels.

quality

Interpolation quality for frame transforms. One of "nearest", "bilinear", or "bicubic".

fill

Fill value for out-of-bounds regions. Can be a single int for grayscale or (R, G, B) tuple for color.

clip_rotation

If True, rotation clips to original dimensions. If False (default), canvas expands to fit the entire rotated image.

flip_h

If True, flip horizontally (mirror left-right).

flip_v

If True, flip vertically (mirror top-bottom).

Methods:

Name Description
__bool__

Return True if any transformation is defined.

__eq__

Method generated by attrs for class Transform.

__init__

Method generated by attrs for class Transform.

__repr__

Method generated by attrs for class Transform.

apply_to_frame

Transform a video frame.

apply_to_points

Transform landmark coordinates.

output_size

Compute output dimensions after applying the transformation.

to_matrix

Compute combined 3x3 affine transformation matrix.

int([x]) -> integer int(x, base=10) -> integer

Convert a number or string to an integer, or return 0 if no arguments are given. If x is a number, return x.int(). For floating-point numbers, this truncates towards zero.

If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string, bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer literal in the given base. The literal can be preceded by '+' or '-' and be surrounded by whitespace. The base defaults to 10. Valid bases are 0 and 2-36.

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to 'utf-8'. errors defaults to 'strict'.

"""Composable geometric transformation for video frames and coordinates.

Transforms are applied in a fixed pipeline order:
crop -> scale -> rotate -> pad -> flip.
This ensures consistent and predictable behavior when combining transforms.

Attributes:
    crop: Crop region as (x1, y1, x2, y2) pixel coordinates. The region from
        (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) is extracted, where (x2, y2) is exclusive.
    scale: Scale factors as (scale_x, scale_y). Use (0.5, 0.5) for 50% size.
        Can also be specified as a single float for uniform scaling.
    rotate: Rotation angle in degrees. Positive values rotate clockwise.
    pad: Padding as (top, right, bottom, left) in pixels.
    quality: Interpolation quality for frame transforms. One of "nearest",

        "bilinear", or "bicubic".
    fill: Fill value for out-of-bounds regions. Can be a single int for
        grayscale or (R, G, B) tuple for color.
    clip_rotation: If True, rotation clips to original dimensions. If False
        (default), canvas expands to fit the entire rotated image.
    flip_h: If True, flip horizontally (mirror left-right).
    flip_v: If True, flip vertically (mirror top-bottom).

transform_video(video, output_path, transform, fps=None, crf=25, preset='superfast', keyframe_interval=None, no_audio=False, progress_callback=None)

Transform a video file and save to a new path.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
video Video

Source video object.

required
output_path str | Path

Path (or str) to save the transformed video.

required
transform Transform

Transform to apply to each frame.

required
fps float | None

Output frame rate. If None, uses source FPS.

None
crf int

Constant rate factor for video quality (0-51, lower is better).

25
preset str

x264 encoding preset.

'superfast'
keyframe_interval float | None

Interval between keyframes in seconds. If None, uses encoder default.

None
no_audio bool

If True, strips audio from output.

False
progress_callback Callable[[int, int], None] | None

Optional callback called with (current_frame, total_frames).

None

Returns:

Type Description
Path

Path to the output video file.

Notes

For embedded HDF5 videos, use transform_embedded_video() instead.
