Utilities for Image Processors

This page lists all the utility functions used by the image processors, mainly the functional transformations used to process the images.

Most of those are only useful if you are studying the code of the image processors in the library.

Image Transformations

transformers.image_transforms.center_crop

< source >

( image: ndarray size: typing.Tuple[int, int] data_format: typing.Union[transformers.image_utils.ChannelDimension, str, NoneType] = None input_data_format: typing.Union[transformers.image_utils.ChannelDimension, str, NoneType] = None return_numpy: typing.Optional[bool] = None ) → np.ndarray

Parameters

image (np.ndarray) — The image to crop.
size (Tuple[int, int]) — The target size for the cropped image.
data_format (str or ChannelDimension, optional) — The channel dimension format for the output image. Can be one of:
- "channels_first" or ChannelDimension.FIRST: image in (num_channels, height, width) format.
- "channels_last" or ChannelDimension.LAST: image in (height, width, num_channels) format. If unset, will use the inferred format of the input image.
input_data_format (str or ChannelDimension, optional) — The channel dimension format for the input image. Can be one of:
- "channels_first" or ChannelDimension.FIRST: image in (num_channels, height, width) format.
- "channels_last" or ChannelDimension.LAST: image in (height, width, num_channels) format. If unset, will use the inferred format of the input image.
return_numpy (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the cropped image as a numpy array. Used for backwards compatibility with the previous ImageFeatureExtractionMixin method.
- Unset: will return the same type as the input image.
- True: will return a numpy array.
- False: will return a PIL.Image.Image object.

Returns

np.ndarray

The cropped image.

Crops the image to the specified size using a center crop. Note that if the image is too small to be cropped to the size given, it will be padded (so the returned result will always be of size size).

transformers.image_transforms.center_to_corners_format

< source >

( bboxes_center: TensorType )

Converts bounding boxes from center format to corners format.

center format: contains the coordinate for the center of the box and its width, height dimensions (center_x, center_y, width, height) corners format: contains the coodinates for the top-left and bottom-right corners of the box (top_left_x, top_left_y, bottom_right_x, bottom_right_y)

transformers.image_transforms.corners_to_center_format

< source >

( bboxes_corners: TensorType )

Converts bounding boxes from corners format to center format.

corners format: contains the coordinates for the top-left and bottom-right corners of the box (top_left_x, top_left_y, bottom_right_x, bottom_right_y) center format: contains the coordinate for the center of the box and its the width, height dimensions (center_x, center_y, width, height)

transformers.image_transforms.id_to_rgb

Parameters

image (np.ndarray) — The image to pad.
padding (int or Tuple[int, int] or Iterable[Tuple[int, int]]) — Padding to apply to the edges of the height, width axes. Can be one of three formats:
- ((before_height, after_height), (before_width, after_width)) unique pad widths for each axis.
- ((before, after),) yields same before and after pad for height and width.
- (pad,) or int is a shortcut for before = after = pad width for all axes.
mode (PaddingMode) — The padding mode to use. Can be one of:
- "constant": pads with a constant value.
- "reflect": pads with the reflection of the vector mirrored on the first and last values of the vector along each axis.
- "replicate": pads with the replication of the last value on the edge of the array along each axis.
- "symmetric": pads with the reflection of the vector mirrored along the edge of the array.
constant_values (float or Iterable[float], optional) — The value to use for the padding if mode is "constant".
data_format (str or ChannelDimension, optional) — The channel dimension format for the output image. Can be one of:
- "channels_first" or ChannelDimension.FIRST: image in (num_channels, height, width) format.
- "channels_last" or ChannelDimension.LAST: image in (height, width, num_channels) format. If unset, will use same as the input image.
input_data_format (str or ChannelDimension, optional) — The channel dimension format for the input image. Can be one of:
- "channels_first" or ChannelDimension.FIRST: image in (num_channels, height, width) format.
- "channels_last" or ChannelDimension.LAST: image in (height, width, num_channels) format. If unset, will use the inferred format of the input image.

ImageProcessingMixin

class transformers.ImageProcessingMixin

Parameters

pretrained_model_name_or_path (str or os.PathLike) — This can be either:
- a string, the model id of a pretrained image_processor hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co. Valid model ids can be located at the root-level, like bert-base-uncased, or namespaced under a user or organization name, like dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased.
- a path to a directory containing a image processor file saved using the save_pretrained() method, e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
- a path or url to a saved image processor JSON file, e.g., ./my_model_directory/preprocessor_config.json.
cache_dir (str or os.PathLike, optional) — Path to a directory in which a downloaded pretrained model image processor should be cached if the standard cache should not be used.
force_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to force to (re-)download the image processor files and override the cached versions if they exist.
resume_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to delete incompletely received file. Attempts to resume the download if such a file exists.
proxies (Dict[str, str], optional) — A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, e.g., {'http': 'foo.bar:3128', 'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}. The proxies are used on each request.
token (str or bool, optional) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, or not specified, will use the token generated when running huggingface-cli login (stored in ~/.huggingface).
revision (str, optional, defaults to "main") — The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id, since we use a git-based system for storing models and other artifacts on huggingface.co, so revision can be any identifier allowed by git.

Instantiate a type of ImageProcessingMixin from an image processor.

Examples:

# We can't instantiate directly the base class *ImageProcessingMixin* so let's show the examples on a
# derived class: *CLIPImageProcessor*
image_processor = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "openai/clip-vit-base-patch32"
)  # Download image_processing_config from huggingface.co and cache.
image_processor = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "./test/saved_model/"
)  # E.g. image processor (or model) was saved using *save_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')*
image_processor = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained("./test/saved_model/preprocessor_config.json")
image_processor = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "openai/clip-vit-base-patch32", do_normalize=False, foo=False
)
assert image_processor.do_normalize is False
image_processor, unused_kwargs = CLIPImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "openai/clip-vit-base-patch32", do_normalize=False, foo=False, return_unused_kwargs=True
)
assert image_processor.do_normalize is False
assert unused_kwargs == {"foo": False}

get_image_processor_dict

Parameters

pretrained_model_name_or_path (str or os.PathLike) — The identifier of the pre-trained checkpoint from which we want the dictionary of parameters.
subfolder (str, optional, defaults to "") — In case the relevant files are located inside a subfolder of the model repo on huggingface.co, you can specify the folder name here.

Returns

Tuple[Dict, Dict]

The dictionary(ies) that will be used to instantiate the image processor object.

From a pretrained_model_name_or_path, resolve to a dictionary of parameters, to be used for instantiating a image processor of type ~image_processor_utils.ImageProcessingMixin using from_dict.

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The name of the repository you want to push your image processor to. It should contain your organization name when pushing to a given organization.
use_temp_dir (bool, optional) — Whether or not to use a temporary directory to store the files saved before they are pushed to the Hub. Will default to True if there is no directory named like repo_id, False otherwise.

Checkpoints shard will then be each of size lower than this size. If expressed as a string, needs to be digits followed by a unit (like "5MB"). We default it to "5GB" so that users can easily load models on free-tier Google Colab instances without any CPU OOM issues.
