## Examples

[(Back to top)](#table-of-contents)

<!--lint disable list-item-indent-->
<!--lint disable list-item-bullet-indent-->

- Convert PASCAL VOC dataset to COCO format, keep only images with `cat` class presented:
  ```bash
  # Download VOC dataset:
  # http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
  datum convert --input-format voc --input-path <path/to/voc> \
                --output-format coco \
                --filter '/item[annotation/label="cat"]'
  ```

- Convert only non-`occluded` annotations from a [CVAT](https://github.com/opencv/cvat) project to TFrecord:
  ```bash
  # export Datumaro dataset in CVAT UI, extract somewhere, go to the project dir
  datum project filter -e '/item/annotation[occluded="False"]' \
    --mode items+anno --output-dir not_occluded
  datum project export --project not_occluded \
    --format tf_detection_api -- --save-images
  ```

- Annotate MS COCO dataset, extract image subset, re-annotate it in [CVAT](https://github.com/opencv/cvat), update old dataset:
  ```bash
  # Download COCO dataset http://cocodataset.org/#download
  # Put images to coco/images/ and annotations to coco/annotations/
  datum project import --format coco --input-path <path/to/coco>
  datum project export --filter '/image[images_I_dont_like]' --format cvat \
    --output-dir reannotation
  # import dataset and images to CVAT, re-annotate
  # export Datumaro project, extract to 'reannotation-upd'
  datum project project merge reannotation-upd
  datum project export --format coco
  ```

- Annotate instance polygons in [CVAT](https://github.com/opencv/cvat), export as masks in COCO:
  ```bash
  datum convert --input-format cvat --input-path <path/to/cvat.xml> \
                --output-format coco -- --segmentation-mode masks
  ```

- Apply an OpenVINO detection model to some COCO-like dataset,
  then compare annotations with ground truth and visualize in TensorBoard:
  ```bash
  datum project import --format coco --input-path <path/to/coco>
  # create model results interpretation script
  datum model add mymodel openvino \
    --weights model.bin --description model.xml \
    --interpretation-script parse_results.py
  datum model run --model mymodel --output-dir mymodel_inference/
  datum project diff mymodel_inference/ --format tensorboard --output-dir diff
  ```

- Change colors in PASCAL VOC-like `.png` masks:
  ```bash
  datum project import --format voc --input-path <path/to/voc/dataset>

  # Create a color map file with desired colors:
  #
  # label : color_rgb : parts : actions
  # cat:0,0,255::
  # dog:255,0,0::
  #
  # Save as mycolormap.txt

  datum project export --format voc_segmentation -- --label-map mycolormap.txt
  # add "--apply-colormap=0" to save grayscale (indexed) masks
  # check "--help" option for more info
  # use "datum --loglevel debug" for extra conversion info
  ```

- Dataset building
  - Merging multiple datasets into one
  - Dataset filtering by a custom criteria:
    - remove polygons of a certain class
    - remove images without annotations of a specific class
    - remove `occluded` annotations from images
    - keep only vertically-oriented images
    - remove small area bounding boxes from annotations
  - Annotation conversions, for instance:
    - polygons to instance masks and vise-versa
    - apply a custom colormap for mask annotations
    - rename or remove dataset labels
- Dataset quality checking
  - Simple checking for errors
  - Comparison with model infernece
  - Merging and comparison of multiple datasets
- Dataset comparison
- Dataset statistics (image mean and std, annotation statistics)
- Model integration
  - Inference (OpenVINO, Caffe, PyTorch, TensorFlow, MxNet, etc.)
  - Explainable AI ([RISE algorithm](https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07421))

## Installation

[(Back to top)](#table-of-contents)

### Dependencies

- Python (3.6+)
- Optional: OpenVINO, TensforFlow, PyTorch, MxNet, Caffe, Accuracy Checker

Optionally, create a virtual environment:

``` bash
python -m pip install virtualenv
python -m virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
```

Install Datumaro package:

``` bash
pip install 'git+https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/datumaro'
```

## Usage

[(Back to top)](#table-of-contents)

There are several options available:
- [A standalone command-line tool](#standalone-tool)
- [A python module](#python-module)

### Standalone tool

Datuaro as a standalone tool allows to do various dataset operations from
the command line interface:

``` bash
datum --help
python -m datumaro --help
```

### Python module

Datumaro can be used in custom scripts as a Python module. Used this way, it
allows to use its features from an existing codebase, enabling dataset
reading, exporting and iteration capabilities, simplifying integration of custom
formats and providing high performance operations:

``` python
from datumaro.components.project import Project # project-related things
import datumaro.components.extractor # annotations and high-level interfaces

# load a Datumaro project
project = Project.load('directory')

# create a dataset
dataset = project.make_dataset()

# keep only annotated images
dataset = dataset.select(lambda item: len(item.annotations) != 0)

# change dataset labels
dataset = dataset.transform(project.env.transforms.get('remap_labels'),
  {'cat': 'dog', # rename cat to dog
    'truck': 'car', # rename truck to car
    'person': '', # remove this label
  }, default='delete')

for item in dataset:
  print(item.id, item.annotations)

# export the resulting dataset in COCO format
project.env.converters.get('coco').convert(dataset, save_dir='dst/dir')
```
