max_samplesintMaximum number of samples to load for text augmentation.80
*argsAnyAdditional positional arguments for the parent class.required
**kwargsAnyAdditional keyword arguments for the parent class.required

Attributes

NameTypeDescription
json_filestrPath to the JSON file containing annotations.

Methods

NameDescription
category_namesReturn unique category names from the dataset.
category_freqReturn frequency of each category in the dataset.
_get_neg_textsGet negative text samples based on frequency threshold.
build_transformsConfigure augmentations for training with optional text loading.
cache_labelsLoad annotations from a JSON file, filter, and normalize bounding boxes for each image.
get_img_filesThe image files would be read in get_labels function, return empty list here.
get_labelsLoad labels from cache or generate them from JSON file.
verify_labelsVerify the number of instances in the dataset matches expected counts.
