Functions:

compute_exact_duplicates(samples[, …])

Detects duplicate media in a sample collection.

compute_hardness(samples, label_field[, …])

Adds a hardness field to each sample scoring the difficulty that the specified label field observed in classifying the sample.

compute_mistakenness(samples, pred_field[, …])

Computes the mistakenness of the labels in the specified label_field, scoring the chance that the labels are incorrect.

compute_similarity(samples[, patches_field, …])

Uses embeddings to index the samples or their patches so that you can query/sort by visual similarity.

compute_uniqueness(samples[, …])

Adds a uniqueness field to each sample scoring how unique it is with respect to the rest of the samples.

compute_visualization(samples[, …])

Computes a low-dimensional representation of the samples’ media or their patches that can be interactively visualized.
fiftyone.brain.compute_exact_duplicates(samples, num_workers=None, skip_failures=True)

Detects duplicate media in a sample collection.

This method detects exact duplicates with the same filehash. Use compute_similarity() to detect near-duplicate images.

If duplicates are found, the first instance in samples will be the key in the returned dictionary, while the subsequent duplicates will be the values in the corresponding list.

Parameters

  • samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

  • num_workers (None) – an optional number of processes to use

  • skip_failures (True) – whether to gracefully ignore samples whose filehash cannot be computed

Returns

a dictionary mapping IDs of samples with exact duplicates to lists of IDs of the duplicates for the corresponding sample

fiftyone.brain.compute_hardness(samples, label_field, hardness_field='hardness')

Adds a hardness field to each sample scoring the difficulty that the specified label field observed in classifying the sample.

Hardness is a measure computed based on model prediction output (through logits) that summarizes a measure of the uncertainty the model had with the sample. This makes hardness quantitative and can be used to detect things like hard samples, annotation errors during noisy training, and more.

Note

Runs of this method can be referenced later via brain key hardness_field.

Parameters
fiftyone.brain.compute_mistakenness(samples, pred_field, label_field='ground_truth', mistakenness_field='mistakenness', missing_field='possible_missing', spurious_field='possible_spurious', use_logits=False, copy_missing=False)

Computes the mistakenness of the labels in the specified label_field, scoring the chance that the labels are incorrect.

Mistakenness is computed based on the predictions in the pred_field, through either its confidence or logits attributes. This measure can be used to detect things like annotation errors and unusually hard samples.

This method supports both classifications and detections.

For classifications, a mistakenness_field field is populated on each sample that quantifies the likelihood that the label in the label_field of that sample is incorrect.

For detections, the mistakenness of each detection in label_field is computed, using fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.evaluate_detections() to locate corresponding detections in pred_field. Three types of mistakes are identified:

  • (Mistakes) Detections in label_field with a match in pred_field are assigned a mistakenness value in their mistakenness_field that captures the likelihood that the class label of the detection in label_field is a mistake. A mistakenness_field + "_loc" field is also populated that captures the likelihood that the detection in label_field is a mistake due to its localization (bounding box).

  • (Missing) Detections in pred_field with no matches in label_field but which are likely to be correct will have their missing_field attribute set to True. In addition, if copy_missing is True, copies of these detections are added to the ground truth detections label_field.

  • (Spurious) Detections in label_field with no matches in pred_field but which are likely to be incorrect will have their spurious_field attribute set to True.

In addition, for detections only, the following sample-level fields are populated:

  • (Mistakes) The mistakenness_field of each sample is populated with the maximum mistakenness of the detections in label_field

  • (Missing) The missing_field of each sample is populated with the number of missing detections that were deemed missing from label_field.

  • (Spurious) The spurious_field of each sample is populated with the number of detections in label_field that were given deemed spurious.

Note

Runs of this method can be referenced later via brain key mistakenness_field.

Parameters

  • samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

  • pred_field – the name of the predicted label field to use from each sample. Can be of type fiftyone.core.labels.Classification, fiftyone.core.labels.Classifications, or fiftyone.core.labels.Detections

  • label_field ("ground_truth") – the name of the “ground truth” label field that you want to test for mistakes with respect to the predictions in pred_field. Must have the same type as pred_field

  • mistakenness_field ("mistakenness") – the field name to use to store the mistakenness value for each sample

  • missing_field ("possible_missing) – the field in which to store per-sample counts of potential missing detections. Only applicable for fiftyone.core.labels.Detections labels

  • spurious_field ("possible_spurious) – the field in which to store per-sample counts of potential spurious detections. Only applicable for fiftyone.core.labels.Detections labels

  • use_logits (False) – whether to use logits (True) or confidence (False) to compute mistakenness. Logits typically yield better results, when they are available

  • copy_missing (False) – whether to copy predicted detections that were deemed to be missing into label_field. Only applicable for fiftyone.core.labels.Detections labels

fiftyone.brain.compute_similarity(samples, patches_field=None, embeddings=None, brain_key=None, metric='euclidean', model=None, force_square=False, alpha=None, batch_size=None, num_workers=None, skip_failures=True)

Uses embeddings to index the samples or their patches so that you can query/sort by visual similarity.

Calling this method (or loading existing results) only generates the index. You can then call the methods exposed on the retuned fiftyone.brain.similarity.SimilarityResults object to perform the following operations:

  • sort_by_similarity(): Sort the samples in the collection by visual similarity to a specific example or example(s)

  • find_duplicates(): Query the index to find all examples with near-duplicates in the collection

  • find_unique(): Query the index to select a subset of examples of a specified size that are maximally unique with respect to each other

If no embeddings or model is provided, a default model is used to generate embeddings.

Parameters

  • samples – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

  • patches_field (None) – a sample field defining the image patches in each sample that have been/will be embedded. Must be of type fiftyone.core.labels.Detection, fiftyone.core.labels.Detections, fiftyone.core.labels.Polyline, or fiftyone.core.labels.Polylines

  • alpha (None) – an optional expansion/contraction to apply to the patches before extracting them, in [-1, inf). If provided, the length and width of the box are expanded (or contracted, when alpha < 0) by (100 * alpha)%. For example, set alpha = 1.1 to expand the boxes by 10%, and set alpha = 0.9 to contract the boxes by 10%. Only applicable when a model and patches_field are specified
