Lightweight library supporting universal functions for the DeepLabCut ecosystem

DLClibrary

Supported functions (at this point):

• API for downloading model weights from the model zoo

Quick start

Install

The package can be installed using pip:

pip install dlclibrary

:warning: warning, the closely named package dlclib is not an official DeepLabCut product. :warning:

Example Usage

Downloading a pretrained model from the model zoo:

from pathlib import Path
from dlclibrary import download_huggingface_model

# Creates a folder and downloads the model to it
model_dir = Path("./superanimal_quadruped_model")
model_dir.mkdir()
download_huggingface_model("superanimal_quadruped", model_dir)

How to add a new model?

Pick a good model_name. Follow the (novel) naming convention (modeltype_species), e.g. superanimal_topviewmouse.

1. Add the model_name with path and commit ID to: https://github.com/DeepLabCut/DLClibrary/blob/main/dlclibrary/dlcmodelzoo/modelzoo_urls.yaml

2. Add the model name to the constant: MODELOPTIONS https://github.com/DeepLabCut/DLClibrary/blob/main/dlclibrary/dlcmodelzoo/modelzoo_download.py#L15

3. For superanimal models also fill in the configs!
