Model Module

degirum.model.Model

Bases: ABC

Model class. Handles whole inference lifecycle for a single model: input data preprocessing, inference, and postprocessing.

Note

You never construct model objects yourself -- instead you call degirum.zoo_manager.ZooManager.load_model method to create degirum.model.Model instances for you.

degirum.model.Model.custom_postprocessor: Optional[type] writable property

Custom postprocessor class. When not None, the object of this class is returned as inference result. Such custom postprocessor classes must be inherited from degirum.postprocessor.InferenceResults class.

degirum.model.Model.device_type: str writable property

The type of the device to be used for model inference in a format <runtime>/<device>

Setter accepts either a string which specifies single device in a format <runtime>/<device> or it can be a list of such strings. In this case the first supported device type from the list will be selected.

Supported device types can be obtained by degirum.model.Model.supported_device_types property.

Getter returns currently selected device type.

degirum.model.Model.devices_available: list abstractmethod property

The list of inference device indices which can be used for model inference.

degirum.model.Model.devices_selected: list writable property

The list of inference device indices selected for model inference.

degirum.model.Model.eager_batch_size: int writable property

The size of the batch (number of consecutive frames before this model is switched to another model during batch predict) to be used by device scheduler when inferencing this model.

degirum.model.Model.frame_queue_depth: int writable property

The depth of the model prediction queue. When the queue size reaches this value, the next prediction call will block until there will be space in the queue.

degirum.model.Model.image_backend: str writable property

Graphical library (backend) to use for graphical tasks -- one of 'pil', 'opencv', 'auto'

'auto' means try OpenCV first, if not installed, try PIL.

degirum.model.Model.inference_timeout_s: float writable property

The maximum time in seconds to wait for inference result from the model.

degirum.model.Model.input_crop_percentage: float writable property

Percentage of image to crop around. Valid range: [0..1].

degirum.model.Model.input_image_format: str writable property

Defines the image format for model inputs of image type -- one of 'JPEG' or 'RAW'.

degirum.model.Model.input_letterbox_fill_color: tuple writable property

Image fill color in case of 'letterbox' padding (see degirum.model.Model.input_pad_method property for details).

3-element RGB tuple.

degirum.model.Model.input_numpy_colorspace: str writable property

Input image colorspace -- one of 'RGB', 'BGR', or 'auto'.

This parameter is used only to identify colorspace for NumPy arrays.

'auto' translates to 'BGR' for opencv backend, and to 'RGB' for pil backend.

degirum.model.Model.input_pad_method: str writable property

Input image pad method -- one of 'stretch', 'letterbox', 'crop-first', or 'crop-last'.

  • In case of 'stretch', the input image will be resized to the model input size without preserving aspect ratio.
  • In case of 'letterbox', the input image will be resized to the model input size preserving aspect ratio.
  • In case of 'crop-first', the input image will be cropped to input_crop_percentage around the center and then resized.
  • In the case of 'crop-last', if the model's input dimensions are square, the image is resized with its smaller side matching the model dimension, preserving the aspect ratio. If the dimensions are rectangular, the image is resized and stretched to fit the model's input dimensions. After resizing, the image is cropped to the model's input dimensions and aspect ratio based on the 'input_crop_percentage' property.

The voids will be filled with solid color specified by input_letterbox_fill_color property. In all cases degirum.model.Model.input_resize_method property specifies the algorithm for resizing.

degirum.model.Model.input_resize_method: str writable property

Input image resize method -- one of 'nearest', 'bilinear', 'area', 'bicubic', or 'lanczos'.

degirum.model.Model.input_shape: List[List[int]] writable property

Input tensor shapes. List of tensor shapes per input.

Each element of that list is another list containing tensor dimensions, slowest dimension first:

- if InputShape model parameter is specified, its value is used.
- otherwise, InputN/H/W/C model parameters are used as [InputN, InputH, InputW, InputC] list.

degirum.model.Model.label_dictionary: Dict[int, str] abstractmethod property

Get model class label dictionary.

Each dictionary element is key-value pair, where the key is the class ID and the value is the class label string.

degirum.model.Model.measure_time: bool writable property

Flag to enable measuring and collecting inference time statistics.

Call degirum.model.Model.time_stats to query accumulated inference time statistics.

degirum.model.Model.model_info property

Return model information object to provide read-only access to model parameters.

New deep copy is created each time.

degirum.model.Model.non_blocking_batch_predict writable property

Flag to control the behavior of the generator object returned by predict_batch() method.

  • When the flag is set to True, the generator accepts None from the inference input data iterator object (passed as data parameter): If None is returned, the model predict step is skipped for this iteration. Also, when no inference results are available in the result queue at this iteration, the generator yields None result.

  • When the flag is set to False (default value), the generator does not allow None to be returned from the inference input data iterator object: If None is returned, an exception is raised. Also, when no inference results are available in the result queue at this iteration, the generator continues to the next iteration of the input data iterator.

  • Setting this flag to True allows using predict_batch() generator in a non-blocking manner, assuming the design of input data iterator object is also non-blocking, i.e., returning None when no data is available instead of waiting for the data. Every next element request from the generator will not block the execution waiting for either input data or inference results, returning None when no results are available.

degirum.model.Model.output_class_set: set writable property

Labels filter: list of class labels/category IDs to be included in inference results.

Note

You can use degirum.model.Model.label_dictionary property to obtain a list of model classes.

degirum.model.Model.output_confidence_threshold: float writable property

Confidence threshold used in inference result post-processing.

Valid range: [0..1].

Only objects with scores higher than this threshold are reported.

Note

For classification models if degirum.model.Model.output_top_k parameter is set to non-zero value, then it supersedes this threshold -- degirum.model.Model.output_top_k highest score classes are always reported.

degirum.model.Model.output_max_classes_per_detection: int writable property

Max Detections Per Class number used in inference result post-processing, and specifies the maximum number of highest probability classes per anchor to be processed during the non-max suppression process for fast algorithm.

You may set it to 'None' to bypass post-processing.

degirum.model.Model.output_top_k: float writable property

The number of classes with highest scores to report for classification models.

When set to 0, then report all classes with scores greater than degirum.model.Model.output_confidence_threshold.

degirum.model.Model.output_use_regular_nms: bool writable property

Use Regular NMS value used in inference result post-processing and specifies the algorithm to use for detection postprocessing.

If value is True, regular Non-Max suppression algorithm is used -- NMS is calculated for each class separately and after that all results are merged.

If value is False, fast Non-Max suppression algorithm is used -- NMS is calculated for all classes simultaneously.

degirum.model.Model.overlay_alpha: Union[float, str] writable property

Alpha-blend weight for inference results drawing on overlay image.

float number in range [0..1].

See degirum.postprocessor.InferenceResults.image_overlay for more details.

degirum.model.Model.overlay_color writable property

Color for inference results drawing on overlay image.

3-element RGB tuple or list of 3-element RGB tuples.

The overlay_color property is used to define the color to draw overlay details. In the case of a single RGB tuple, the corresponding color is used to draw all the overlay data: points, boxes, labels, segments, etc. In the case of a list of RGB tuples the behavior depends on the model type:

  • For classification models different colors from the list are used to draw labels of different classes.
  • For detection models different colors are used to draw labels and boxes of different classes.
  • For pose detection models different colors are used to draw keypoints of different persons.
  • For segmentation models different colors are used to highlight segments of different classes.

If the list size is less than the number of classes of the model, then overlay_color values are used cyclically, for example, for three-element list it will be overlay_color[0], then overlay_color[1], overlay_color[2], and again overlay_color[0].

The default value of overlay_color is a single RBG tuple of yellow color for all model types except segmentation models. For segmentation models it is the list of RGB tuples with the list size equal to the number of model classes. You can use degirum.model.Model.label_dictionary property to obtain a list of model classes. Each color is automatically assigned to look pretty and different from other colors in the list.
