Data Annotation Format

This page describes the dataset formats for computer-vision apps supported by TLT.

Image Classification Format

Image classification expects a directory of images with the following structure, where each class has its own directory with the class name. The naming convention for train/val/test can be different because the path of each set is individually specified in the spec file. See the Specification File for Classification section for more information.

|--dataset_root:
    |--train
        |--audi:
            |--1.jpg
            |--2.jpg
        |--bmw:
            |--01.jpg
            |--02.jpg
    |--val
        |--audi:
            |--3.jpg
            |--4.jpg
        |--bmw:
            |--03.jpg
            |--04.jpg
    |--test
        |--audi:
            |--5.jpg
            |--6.jpg
        |--bmw:
            |--05.jpg
            |--06.jpg

Object Detection – KITTI Format

Using the KITTI format requires data to be organized in this structure:

.
|--dataset root
  |-- images
      |-- 000000.jpg
      |-- 000001.jpg
            .
            .
      |-- xxxxxx.jpg
  |-- labels
      |-- 000000.txt
      |-- 000001.txt
            .
            .
      |-- xxxxxx.txt
  |-- kitti_seq_to_map.json

Here’s a description of the structure:

  • The images directory contains the images to train on.

  • The labels directory contains the labels to the corresponding images. Details of this file are included in the Label Files section.

    Note

    The images and labels have the same file IDs before the extension. The image to label correspondence is maintained using this file name.

  • The kitti_seq_to_map.json file contains a sequence to frame ID mapping for the frames in the images directory. This is an optional file and is useful if the data needs to be split into N folds sequence wise. In case the data is to be split into a random 80:20 train:val split, then this file may be ignored.

Label Files

A KITTI format label file is a simple text file containing one line per object. Each line has multiple fields. Here is a description of these fields:

Num elements

Parameter name

Description

Type

Range

Example

1

Class names

The class to which the object belongs.

String

N/A

Person, car, Road_Sign

1

Truncation

How much of the object has left image boundaries.

Float

0.0, 0.1

0.0

1

Occlusion

Occlusion state [ 0 = fully visible, 1 = partly visible, 2 = largely occluded, 3 = unknown].

Integer

[0,3]

2

1

Alpha

Observation Angle of object

Float

[-pi, pi]

0.146

4

Bounding box coordinates: [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]

Location of the object in the image

Float(0 based index)

[0 to image width],[0 to image_height], [top_left, image_width], [bottom_right, image_height]

100 120 180 160

3

3-D dimension

Height, width, length of the object (in meters)

Float

N/A

1.65, 1.67, 3.64

3

Location

3-D object location x, y, z in camera coordinates (in meters)

Float

N/A

-0.65,1.71, 46.7

1

Rotation_y

Rotation ry around the Y-axis in camera coordinates

Float

[-pi, pi]

-1.59

The sum of the total number of elements per object is 15. Here is a sample text file:

car 0.00 0 -1.58 587.01 173.33 614.12 200.12 1.65 1.67 3.64 -0.65 1.71 46.70 -1.59
cyclist 0.00 0 -2.46 665.45 160.00 717.93 217.99 1.72 0.47 1.65 2.45 1.35 22.10 -2.35
pedestrian 0.00 2 0.21 423.17 173.67 433.17 224.03 1.60 0.38 0.30 -5.87 1.63 23.11 -0.03

This indicates that in the image there are 3 objects with parameters as mentioned above. Currently, for detection the toolkit only requires the class name and bbox coordinates fields to be populated. This is because the TLT training pipe supports training only for class and bbox coordinates. The remaining fields may be set to 0. Here is a sample file for a custom annotated dataset:

car 0.00 0 0.00 587.01 173.33 614.12 200.12 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
cyclist 0.00 0 0.00 665.45 160.00 717.93 217.99 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
pedestrian 0.00 0 0.00 423.17 173.67 433.17 224.03 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

Sequence Mapping File

This is an optional JSON file that captures the mapping between the frames in the images directory and the names of video sequences from which these frames were extracted. This information is needed while doing an N-fold split of the dataset. This way frames from one sequence don’t repeat in other folds and one of the folds could be used for validation. Here’s an example of the json dictionary file.

{
  "video_sequence_name": [list of strings(frame idx)]
}

Here’s an example of a kitti_seq_to_frames.json file with a sample dataset with six sequences:

{
  "2011_09_28_drive_0165_sync": ["003193", "003185", "002857", "001864", "003838",
  "007320", "003476", "007308", "000337", "004165", "006573"],
  "2011_09_28_drive_0191_sync": ["005724", "002529", "004136", "005746"],
  "2011_09_28_drive_0179_sync": ["005107", "002485", "006089", "000695"],
  "2011_09_26_drive_0079_sync": ["005421", "000673", "002064", "000783", "003068"],
  "2011_09_28_drive_0035_sync": ["005540", "002424", "004949", "004996", "003969"],
  "2011_09_28_drive_0117_sync": ["007150", "003797", "002554", "001509"]
}

Instance Segmentation – COCO format

Using the COCO format requires data to be organized in this structure:

annotation{
"id": int,
"image_id": int,
"category_id": int,
"segmentation": RLE or [polygon],
"area": float,
"bbox": [x,y,width,height],
"iscrowd": 0 or 1,
}

image{
"id": int,
"width": int,
"height": int,
"file_name": str,
"license": int,
"flickr_url": str,
"coco_url": str,
"date_captured": datetime,
}

categories[{
"id": int,
"name": str,
"supercategory": str,
}]

An example COCO annotation file is shown below:

"annotations": [{"segmentation": [[510.66,423.01,511.72,420.03,510.45,416.0,510.34,413.02,510.77,410.26,510.77,407.5,510.34,405.16,511.51,402.83,511.41,400.49,510.24,398.16,509.39,397.31,504.61,399.22,502.17,399.64,500.89,401.66,500.47,402.08,499.09,401.87,495.79,401.98,490.59,401.77,488.79,401.77,485.39,398.58,483.9,397.31,481.56,396.35,478.48,395.93,476.68,396.03,475.4,396.77,473.92,398.79,473.28,399.96,473.49,401.87,474.56,403.47,473.07,405.59,473.39,407.71,476.68,409.41,479.23,409.73,481.56,410.69,480.4,411.85,481.35,414.93,479.86,418.65,477.32,420.03,476.04,422.58,479.02,422.58,480.29,423.01,483.79,419.93,486.66,416.21,490.06,415.57,492.18,416.85,491.65,420.24,492.82,422.9,493.56,424.39,496.43,424.6,498.02,423.01,498.13,421.31,497.07,420.03,497.07,415.15,496.33,414.51,501.1,411.96,502.06,411.32,503.02,415.04,503.33,418.12,501.1,420.24,498.98,421.63,500.47,424.39,505.03,423.32,506.2,421.31,507.69,419.5,506.31,423.32,510.03,423.01,510.45,423.01]],"area": 702.1057499999998,"iscrowd": 0,"image_id": 289343,"bbox": [473.07,395.93,38.65,28.67],"category_id": 18,"id": 1768}],

For more details, please check COCO format. A COCO dataset preparation script is provided in the TLT container which automatically downloads and converts the dataset to TFRecords. In the MaskRCNN notebook, you can run the script as follows:

download_and_preprocess_coco.sh $data_dir

When using a custom dataset, you should follow the COCO format closely and convert the dataset to TFRecords using the following command (refer to L68-75 in download_and_preprocess_coco.sh for more detail).

python create_coco_tf_record.py
  --logtostderr
  --include_masks
  --train_image_dir=$TRAIN_IMAGE_DIR
  --val_image_dir=$VAL_IMAGE_DIR
  --train_object_annotations_file=$TRAIN_COCO_ANNOTATION_FILE
  --val_object_annotations_file=$VAL_ANNOTATION_FILE
  --output_dir=$OUTPUT_DIR

Semantic Segmentation – UNet Format

This section describes the formats of the dataset for training a semantic segmentation UNet in TLT, namely:

  • Stuctured Image and Masks Folder

  • Image and Masks Text File

Structured Images and Masks Folders

UNet expects the images and corresponding masks encoded as images. Each mask image is a single-channel image, where every pixel is assigned an integer value that represents the segmentation class. The data folder structure for images and masks must be in the following format:

/Dataset_01
    /images
      /train
        0000.png
        0001.png
        ...
        ...
        N.png
      /val
        0000.png
        0001.png
        ...
        ...
        N.png
      /test
        0000.png
        0001.png
        ...
        ...
        N.png
    /masks
      /train
        0000.png
        0001.png
        ...
        ...
        N.png
      /val
        0000.png
        0001.png
        ...
        ...
        N.png
  • See the Folders based Dataset Config section for further details about configuring these image and mask folder paths in experiment spec.

  • Each image and label has the same file ID before the extension. The image-to-label correspondence is maintained using this filename. The test folder in the above directory structure is optional; any folder can be used for inference.

Image and Mask Text files

An image text file containing the paths to all the images and a mask text file containing the paths to the corresponding mask files. The image names and mask names should full abosolute unix paths.

Contents of example images text file images_source1.txt is shown below:

/home/user/workspace/exports/images_final/00001.jpg
/home/user/workspace/exports/images_final/00002.jpg

Contents of example corresponding mask text file labels_source1.txt is shown below. It contains the corresponding mask names:

/home/user/workspace/exports/masks_final/00001.png
/home/user/workspace/exports/masks_final/00002.png
  • Text file method additionally allows to specify multiple sequences.

  • These text file paths should be provided in spec file.

See Text files based Dataset Config section for further details about configuring multiple data sources using text files in dataset config.

Note

The size of the images need not necessarily be equal to the model input dimensions. The images are resized internally to model input dimensions.

Gesture Recognition – Custom Format

A gesture recognition model should perform well on users outside the training dataset. Thus, model training requires user segregation when splitting into train, validation and test dataset. To enable this we need some unique identifier, user_id for each subject. In addition each subject might record multiple videos.

We wish to organise dataset in the following format:

.
|-- original dataset root
  |-- uid_1
      |-- session_1
          |-- 000000.png
          |-- 000001.png
                .
                .
          |-- xxxxxx.png
      |-- session_2
          |-- 000000.png
          |-- 000001.png
                .
                .
          |-- xxxxxx.png
  |-- uid_2
      |-- session_1
          |-- 000000.png
          |-- 000001.png
                .
                .
          |-- xxxxxx.png
      |-- session_2
          |-- 000000.png
          |-- 000001.png
                .
                .
          |-- xxxxxx.png
  |-- uid_3
      |-- session_1
          |-- 000000.png
          |-- 000001.png
                .
                .
          |-- xxxxxx.png

For each set we also prepare a metadata file that captures fields that can be used for dataset sampling.

{
    "set": "data",
    "users": {
        "uid_1": {
            "location": "outdoor",
            "illumination": "good",
            "class_fps": {
                "session_1": 30,
                "session_2": 30
            }
        },
        "uid_2": {
            "location": "indoor",
            "illumination": "good",
            "class_fps": {
                "session_1": 10,
                "session_2": 15
            }
        },
        "uid_3": {
            "location": "indoor",
            "illumination": "poor",
            "class_fps": {
                "session_1": 10
            }
        }
    }
}

Label Format

Each image corresponds to a subject performing a gesture. The image requires a corresponding label JSON which contains a bounding box for the hand of interest and gesture label. We follow the Label Studio format. A sample label for an image is:

{
  "completions": [
    {
      "result": [
        {
          "type": "rectanglelabels",
          "original_width": 320,
          "original_height": 240,
          "value": {
            "x": 58.1,
            "y": 18.3,
            "width": 18.8,
            "height": 49.5
          }
        },
        {
          "type": "choices",
          "value": {
            "choices": [
              "Thumbs-up"
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "task_path": "/workspace/tlt-experiments/gesturenet/data/uid_1/session_1/image_0001.png"
}
  • task_path: specifies the full path to the image.

Heart Rate Estimation – Custom Format

HeartRateNet expects directories of images in the format shown below. The images and ground truth labels are then converted to TFRecords for training.

Subject_001/
    ground_truth.csv
    image_timestamps.csv
    images/
        0000.bmp
        0001.bmp
            .
            .
        N.bmp
.

EmotionNet, FPENET, GazeNet – JSON Label Data Format

EmotionNet, FPENet, and GazeNet use the same JSON data format labeled by the NVIDIA data factory team. These apps expect data in this Json data format for training and evaluation. For EmotionNet, FPENet, and GazeNet, this data is converted to TFRecords for training. TFRecords help iterate faster through the data. Please refer to the corresponding section for the JSON data format descriptions.

Using the Json Label data format requires data to be organized in a json file with the following struture:

.

BodyposeNet – COCO Format

Using the COCO format requires data to be organized in this structure:

|--dataset root
    |-- train2017
        |-- 000000001000.jpg
        |-- 000000001001.jpg
            .
            .
        |-- xxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg
    |-- val2017
        |-- 000000002000.jpg
        |-- 000000002001.jpg
            .
            .
        |-- xxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg
    |-- annotations
        |-- person_keypoints_train2017.json
        |-- person_keypoints_val2017.json

As long as you have a dataset root, and the filenames are adjusted accordingly in the images->filename field in annotations, you can choose to have a nested directory structure for the train and test images.

Label Files

This section outlines the COCO annotations dataset format that the data must be in for BodyposeNet. Although COCO annotations have more fields, only the attributes that are needed by BodyposeNet are mentioned here. You may use the exact same format as COCO. The dataset should use the following overall structure (in a .json file):

"images": [
