A library to produce and parse JSONs in the OpenLABEL format.
Project description
uai_openlabel
This repository is an implementation of the ASAM OpenLABEL v1.0.0 standard. OpenLABEL defines a JSON schema for saving annotations in the context of data labeling.
How to use
This library can be installed via pip using pip install uai_openlabel
or with poetry using poetry add uai_openlabel
.
The entry point to the uai_openlabel data structure is OpenLabel
, importable via from uai_openlabel import OpenLabel
.
To export an example OpenLABEL file and save it to disk, do
import json
from pathlib import Path
from uai_openlabel import OpenLabel
example = OpenLabel.example()
with Path("where/to/save/example.json").open("w") as f:
json.dump(example.to_dict(exclude_none=True), f)
Use to_dict(exlude_none=True)
to remove any none-valued fields from the dataclass.
This makes the export much more compact and is also the way the official ASAM examples are serialized.
Development
Poetry
This package uses Poetry, a tool for dependency management and packaging. Please install it via the official installer from here.
Working with this repository
This repository employs several tools to ensure a constant and good code quality.
Black
Black is a code formatter that we use to assure consistent code style across our projects.
Use it in-between, or after your code changes, via poetry run black .
in the root directory of this repository.
MyPy
Mypy is a static type checker for Python.
Mypy can be run with poetry run mypy .
in the root directory of this repository.
Ruff
Ruff is a Python linter and code formatter.
It can be run with poetry run ruff .
in the root directory of this repository.
Things left to be implemented
Not implemented because they aren't needed yet.
- Section
7.10.2 Semantic segmentation: image
- Section
7.10.4 Mesh
- Section
7.10.5 Mat and binary
- Section
7.10.6 Point2d and Point3d
Please choose a test-driven-development: Find an example JSON in the OpenLABEL spec and create a de- & re-serialization test for it. Then implement the features required to pass the test.
Debugging apischema
Debugging problems in (de)serialization with apischema is tricky because apischema is in a compiled state when
installing it from PyPI.
To have a better debugging experience, it is advisable to clone the apischema repository
locally alongside this repository.
Then, set the apischema dependency as apischema = { path="../apischema", develop=true }
in pyproject.toml
.
Follow up with poetry lock; poetry install --sync
.
Now you can more easily get the keys and values where apischema is throwing exceptions.
MyPy specialties in this library
Mapping instead of dict
Throughout this repository, you'll find the usage of Mapping
type decorators instead of dict
.
The type Mapping
is covariant, while dict
is invariant
(read about it here).
This is important if you want to extend the base OpenLABEL spec with a customer-specific spec that overrides fields
and narrows down the type, like such:
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Mapping
class LowerCaseStr(str):
def __init__(self, val: str):
if not val.islower():
raise ValueError(f"{val} isn't lower-case")
@dataclass
class Action:
name: str = field()
@dataclass
class CustomAction(Action):
name: LowerCaseStr = field()
@dataclass
class OpenLabel:
# Setting the type to dict will cause a MyPy error
actions: Mapping[str, Action] = field()
@dataclass
class CustomOpenLabel(OpenLabel):
actions: dict[str, CustomAction] = field()
Why all these _no_default
default values?
When creating dataclasses that inherit from each other, an issue that can occur is that a subclass has a field without
a default, while the parent class contains fields with defaults.
When this occurs, you'll see TypeErrors
when trying to execute it, and PyCharm will complain too.
To fix this, there are several possibilities, the best of them are discussed here. Other possibilities involve using metaclass magic and a deep forest of complicated code that would make the code harder to understand.
The cleanest solution that a) doesn't double the class count, b) is understood by PyCharm, and c) sticks with plain dataclasses,
is the following:
On fields that may not be left empty according to the official OpenLABEL spec, we set a default_factory
that raises an exception.
In order for apischema to work, we have to add the apischema.metadata.required
in the field's metadata,
otherwise apischema will call the default factory before checking if there even is a value to be deserialized.
