Import Prediction Sets

Overview

To upload predictions in Encord Active, you need to create a prediction branch. This guide explains everything you need to know for importing predictions.

Predictions Workflow

Import Predictions to Annotate Project: Everything starts in Annotate. Your labels and predictions must exist in your Annotate Project for the labels and predictions to appear in Active.
Import/Sync Project in Active: After importing your predictions, you can then import the Project into Active. Or you can sync an existing Active Project after importing your predictions.
Analyse the Predictions in Active: Once the Project import/sync completes, specify the prediction set for Active to analyse.
Select the Predictions in Active: Once analysis completes, select the prediction set you want to view in Active.

Supported Prediction Formats

Encord Format (Recommended)

Supports multi-level nested classifications (radio, checklist, or free-form text) under objects or classifications.
Handles all object types and classification.

Only top-level objects and classifications are considered when calculating in model metrics.
Metrics are not yet available for keypoints and polylines. If you are interested in these, please contact the Encord team.

COCO Format

Does not supports multiple levels of nested classifications (radio, checklist, or free-form text) under tools or classifications.

Confidence Score

You can include confidence scores when uploading predictions. Encord automatically calculates model metrics based on your prediction set and assigned confidence scores.

Prediction Branches

When importing prediction sets into Encord Active, they are added as branches to individual label rows on your data units (images, videos, audio). Each data unit has the following:

A MAIN branch for ground truth annotations or pre-labels.
Optional Consensus branches and Prediction branches for different prediction sets.

You can export main branch labels from the UI. Consensus labels and model predictions can only be exported using the SDK.

STEP 1: Import Predictions

Import your predictions to a Project in Annotate. Encord currently supports importing predictions from the Encord format and from COCO.

TLDR;

Do you already know what you are doing and only want to look over a Jupyter Notebook example to import your predictions? We provide one here.

Import Encord-Format Predictions

Use branch_name to create a prediction branch in label_rows_v2 for a data unit.

branch_name supports alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and is case sensitive
branch_name supports the following special characters: hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.)

Bounding Box

Example 1

Imports a single bounding box (Cherry) to a single image (cherry_001.png).

Example 2:

Imports three instances (tracking an object across three sequential frames: 103, 104, and 105) of a bounding box (Cherry) to a video (Cherries_video.mp4).

Example 3

Imports three bounding boxes (Cherry) to a single image (cherry_001.png).

Example 4:

Imports three instances (tracking 3 different objects across three frames: object 1 - frames 103, 104, 105, object 2 - frames 206, 207, 208, and object 3 - frames 313, 315, 317) of three bounding boxes (Cherry) to a video (Cherries_video.mp4).

Example 2

Imports three instances (tracking an object across three sequential frames: 163, 164, and 165) of a object primitive (Ontology object = Strawberry Object Primitive name = Triangle) to a video (Cherries_video.mp4).

Example 3

End-to-End Prediction Import Example

We provide an end-to-end example using a Jupyter Notebook here.

STEP 2: Import/Sync Project to Active

Import or sync the Annotate Project in Active.

STEP 3: Analyse the Predictions

Active MUST analyse the predictions before you can view the predictions in Active.

STEP 4: Select the Predictions

Once analysis completes, select the prediction set to view in Active.

Overview

To upload predictions in Encord Active, you need to create a prediction branch. This guide explains everything you need to know for importing predictions.

Predictions Workflow

Import Predictions to Annotate Project: Everything starts in Annotate. Your labels and predictions must exist in your Annotate Project for the labels and predictions to appear in Active.
Import/Sync Project in Active: After importing your predictions, you can then import the Project into Active. Or you can sync an existing Active Project after importing your predictions.
Analyse the Predictions in Active: Once the Project import/sync completes, specify the prediction set for Active to analyse.
Select the Predictions in Active: Once analysis completes, select the prediction set you want to view in Active.

Supported Prediction Formats

Encord Format (Recommended)

Supports multi-level nested classifications (radio, checklist, or free-form text) under objects or classifications.
Handles all object types and classification.

Only top-level objects and classifications are considered when calculating in model metrics.
Metrics are not yet available for keypoints and polylines. If you are interested in these, please contact the Encord team.

COCO Format

Does not supports multiple levels of nested classifications (radio, checklist, or free-form text) under tools or classifications.

Confidence Score

You can include confidence scores when uploading predictions. Encord automatically calculates model metrics based on your prediction set and assigned confidence scores.

Prediction Branches

When importing prediction sets into Encord Active, they are added as branches to individual label rows on your data units (images, videos, audio). Each data unit has the following:

A MAIN branch for ground truth annotations or pre-labels.
Optional Consensus branches and Prediction branches for different prediction sets.

You can export main branch labels from the UI. Consensus labels and model predictions can only be exported using the SDK.

STEP 1: Import Predictions

Import your predictions to a Project in Annotate. Encord currently supports importing predictions from the Encord format and from COCO.

TLDR;

Do you already know what you are doing and only want to look over a Jupyter Notebook example to import your predictions? We provide one here.

Import Encord-Format Predictions

Use branch_name to create a prediction branch in label_rows_v2 for a data unit.

branch_name supports alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and is case sensitive
branch_name supports the following special characters: hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.)

Bounding Box

Example 1

Imports a single bounding box (Cherry) to a single image (cherry_001.png).

Example 2:

Imports three instances (tracking an object across three sequential frames: 103, 104, and 105) of a bounding box (Cherry) to a video (Cherries_video.mp4).

Imports three bounding boxes (Cherry) to a single image (cherry_001.png).

End-to-End Prediction Import Example

We provide an end-to-end example using a Jupyter Notebook here.

STEP 2: Import/Sync Project to Active

Import or sync the Annotate Project in Active.

STEP 3: Analyse the Predictions

Active MUST analyse the predictions before you can view the predictions in Active.

STEP 4: Select the Predictions

Once analysis completes, select the prediction set to view in Active.
