sleap-io

Standalone utilities for working with animal pose tracking data.

This is intended to be a complement to the core SLEAP package that aims to provide functionality for interacting with pose tracking-related data structures and file formats with minimal dependencies. This package does not have any functionality related to labeling, training, or inference.

Installation

pip install sleap-io

For development, use one of the following syntaxes:

conda env create -f environment.yml

pip install -e .[dev]

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on development.

Usage

Load and save in different formats

import sleap_io as sio

# Load from SLEAP file.
labels = sio.load_file("predictions.slp")

# Save to NWB file.
sio.save_file(labels, "predictions.nwb")
# Or:
# labels.save("predictions.nwb")

Convert labels to raw arrays

import sleap_io as sio

labels = sio.load_slp("tests/data/slp/centered_pair_predictions.slp")

# Convert predictions to point coordinates in a single array.
trx = labels.numpy()
n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, xy = trx.shape
assert xy == 2

# Convert to array with confidence scores appended.
trx_with_scores = labels.numpy(return_confidence=True)
n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, xy_score = trx.shape 
assert xy_score == 3

Read video data

import sleap_io as sio

video = sio.load_video("test.mp4")
n_frames, height, width, channels = video.shape

frame = video[0]
height, width, channels = frame.shape

Create labels from raw data

import sleap_io as sio
import numpy as np

# Create skeleton.
skeleton = sio.Skeleton(
    nodes=["head", "thorax", "abdomen"],
    edges=[("head", "thorax"), ("thorax", "abdomen")]
)

# Create video.
video = sio.load_video("test.mp4")

# Create instance.
instance = sio.Instance.from_numpy(
    points=np.array([
        [10.2, 20.4],
        [5.8, 15.1],
        [0.3, 10.6],
    ]),
    skeleton=skeleton
)

# Create labeled frame.
lf = sio.LabeledFrame(video=video, frame_idx=0, instances=[instance])

# Create labels.
labels = sio.Labels(videos=[video], skeletons=[skeleton], labeled_frames=[lf])

# Save.
labels.save("labels.slp")
