ObjectInstance

​

ObjectInstance Objects

class ObjectInstance()

An object instance is an object that has coordinates and can be placed on one or multiple frames in a label row.

​

is_assigned_to_label_row

def is_assigned_to_label_row() -> Optional[LabelRowV2]

Checks if the object instance is assigned to a label row.

Returns:

The LabelRowV2 instance if assigned, otherwise None.

​

object_hash

@property
def object_hash() -> str

A unique identifier for the object instance.

Returns:

The unique object hash.

​

ontology_item

@property
def ontology_item() -> Object

The ontology object associated with this instance.

Returns:

The ontology object.

​

feature_hash

@property
def feature_hash() -> str

Feature node hash from the project ontology.

Returns:

The feature node hash.

​

object_name

@property
def object_name() -> str

Object name from the project ontology.

Returns:

The object name.

​

get_answer

def get_answer(
    attribute: Attribute,
    filter_answer: Union[str, Option, Iterable[Option], None] = None,
    filter_frame: Optional[int] = None,
    is_dynamic: Optional[bool] = None
) -> Union[str, Option, Iterable[Option], AnswersForFrames, None]

Get the answer set for a given ontology Attribute. Returns None if the attribute is not yet answered.

For the ChecklistAttribute, it returns None if and only if the attribute is nested and the parent is unselected. Otherwise, if not yet answered it will return an empty list.

Arguments:

• attribute - The ontology attribute to get the answer for.
• filter_answer - A filter for a specific answer value. Only applies to dynamic attributes.
• filter_frame - A filter for a specific frame. Only applies to dynamic attributes.
• is_dynamic - Optionally specify whether a dynamic answer is expected or not. This will throw if it is set incorrectly according to the attribute. Set this to narrow down the return type.

Returns:

If the attribute is static, then the answer value is returned, assuming an answer value has already been set. If the attribute is dynamic, the AnswersForFrames object is returned.

​

set_answer

def set_answer(answer: Union[str, Option, Sequence[Option]],
               attribute: Optional[Attribute] = None,
               frames: Optional[Frames] = None,
               overwrite: bool = False,
               manual_annotation: bool = DEFAULT_MANUAL_ANNOTATION) -> None

Set the answer for a given ontology Attribute. This is the equivalent of e.g. selecting a checkbox in the UI after drawing the ObjectInstance. There is only one answer per ObjectInstance per Attribute, unless the attribute is dynamic (check the args list for more instructions on how to set dynamic answers).

Arguments:

• answer - The answer to set.
• attribute - The ontology attribute to set the answer for. If not set, this will be attempted to be inferred. For answers to :class:encord.objects.common.RadioAttribute or :class:encord.objects.common.ChecklistAttribute, this can be inferred automatically. For :class:encord.objects.common.TextAttribute, this will only be inferred there is only one possible TextAttribute to set for the entire object instance. Otherwise, a :class:encord.exceptionsLabelRowError will be thrown.
• frames - Only relevant for dynamic attributes. The frames to set the answer for. If None, the answer is set for all frames that this object currently has set coordinates for (also overwriting current answers). This will not automatically propagate the answer to new frames that are added in the future. If this is anything but None for non-dynamic attributes, this will throw a ValueError.
• overwrite - If True, the answer will be overwritten if it already exists. If False, this will throw a LabelRowError if the answer already exists. This argument is ignored for dynamic attributes.
• manual_annotation - If True, the answer will be marked as manually annotated. This arg defaults to DEFAULT_MANUAL_ANNOTATION.

​

set_answer_from_list

def set_answer_from_list(answers_list: List[Dict[str, Any]]) -> None

This is a low level helper function and should usually not be used directly.

Sets the answer for the classification from a dictionary.

Arguments:

• answers_list - The list of dictionaries to set the answer from.

​

delete_answer

def delete_answer(attribute: Attribute,
                  filter_answer: Optional[Union[str, Option,
                                                Iterable[Option]]] = None,
                  filter_frame: Optional[int] = None) -> None

Reset the answer of an attribute as if it was never set.

Arguments:

• attribute - The attribute to delete the answer for.
• filter_answer - A filter for a specific answer value. Delete only answers with the provided value. Only applies to dynamic attributes.
• filter_frame - A filter for a specific frame. Only applies to dynamic attributes.

​

check_within_range

def check_within_range(frame: int) -> None

Check if the given frame is within the acceptable range.

Arguments:

• frame - The frame number to check.

Raises:

• LabelRowError - If the frame is out of the acceptable range.

​

set_for_frames

def set_for_frames(coordinates: Coordinates,
                   frames: Frames = 0,
                   *,
                   overwrite: bool = False,
                   created_at: Optional[datetime] = None,
                   created_by: Optional[str] = None,
                   last_edited_at: Optional[datetime] = None,
                   last_edited_by: Optional[str] = None,
                   confidence: Optional[float] = None,
                   manual_annotation: Optional[bool] = None,
                   reviews: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
                   is_deleted: Optional[bool] = None) -> None

Place the object onto the specified frame(s).

If the object already exists on the frame and overwrite is set to True, the currently specified values will be overwritten.

Arguments:

• coordinates - The coordinates of the object in the frame. This will throw an error if the type of the coordinates does not match the type of the attribute in the object instance.
• frames - The frames to add the object instance to. Defaults to the first frame for convenience.
• overwrite - If True, overwrite existing data for the given frames. This will not reset all the non-specified values. If False and data already exists for the given frames, raises an error.
• created_at - Optionally specify the creation time of the object instance on this frame. Defaults to datetime.now().
• created_by - Optionally specify the creator of the object instance on this frame. Defaults to the current SDK user.
• last_edited_at - Optionally specify the last edit time of the object instance on this frame. Defaults to datetime.now().
• last_edited_by - Optionally specify the last editor of the object instance on this frame. Defaults to the current SDK user.
• confidence - Optionally specify the confidence of the object instance on this frame. Defaults to 1.0.
• manual_annotation - Optionally specify whether the object instance on this frame was manually annotated. Defaults to True.
• reviews - Should only be set by internal functions.
• is_deleted - Should only be set by internal functions.

​

get_annotation

def get_annotation(frame: Union[int, str] = 0) -> Annotation

Raises:

• LabelRowError - If the frame is not present in the label row.

​

copy

def copy() -> ObjectInstance

Create an exact copy of this ObjectInstance.

The new copy will have a new object hash and will not be associated with any LabelRowV2. This is useful for adding the semantically same ObjectInstance to multiple LabelRowV2s.

Returns:

• ObjectInstance - A new ObjectInstance that is a copy of the current instance.

​

get_annotations
