Detailed Description

The DarkHelp namespace contains (almost) everything in the DarkHelp library.

Prior to version 1.4, DarkHelp was the name of a class. But in October/November 2021, a large code re-organization took place, and the previous class definition was split into multiple classes across several files. This makes things easier to manage and was needed to support other projects like DarkHelpFPS.

Appologies to everyone who has code that relied on the previous DarkHelp API. The old Darkhelp class has been renamed to DarkHelp::NN, and the settings that used to be in DarkHelp have been moved to DarkHelp::NN::config.

November 2021

Typedef Documentation

◆ MClassProbabilities

using DarkHelp::MClassProbabilities = typedef std::map<int, float>

Map of a class ID to a probability that this object belongs to that class.

The key is the zero-based index of the class, while the value is the probability that the object belongs to that class.

See also
DarkHelp::PredictionResult::all_probabilities

◆ MStr

using DarkHelp::MStr = typedef std::map<std::string, std::string>

Map of strings where both the key and the value are std::string.

◆ PredictionResults

using DarkHelp::PredictionResults = typedef std::vector<PredictionResult>

A vector of predictions for the image analyzed by DarkHelp::NN::predict().

Each DarkHelp::PredictionResult entry in the vector represents a different object in the image.

using DarkHelp::VStr = typedef std::vector<std::string>

Vector of text strings. Typically used to store the class names.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ EDriver

enum DarkHelp::EDriver
strong

DarkHelp can utilise either libdarknet.so or OpenCV's DNN module to load the neural network and run inference.

OpenCV is much faster, but support for it is relatively new in DarkHelp and support for newer models like YOLOv4 requires very recent versions of OpenCV. The default is kDarknet.

See also
DarkHelp::NN::init()

If using kOpenCV or kOpenCVCPU you can customize the backend and target after DarkHelp::init() is called. For example:

nn.init("rocks.cfg", "rocks.weights", "rocks.names", true, DarkHelp::EDriver::kOpenCV);
nn.opencv_net.setPreferableBackend(cv::dnn::DNN_BACKEND_CUDA);
nn.opencv_net.setPreferableTarget(cv::dnn::DNN_TARGET_CUDA_FP16);
Instantiate one of these objects by giving it the name of the .cfg and .weights file,...

Function Documentation

◆ duration_string()

std::string DarkHelp::duration_string ( const std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::duration  duration)

Format a duration as a text string which is typically added to images or video frames during annotation.

For example, this might return "912 microseconds" or "375 milliseconds".

See also
DarkHelp::NN::annotate()

Referenced by DarkHelp::NN::annotate(), and DarkHelp::NN::duration_string().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ edit_cfg_file()

size_t DarkHelp::edit_cfg_file ( const std::string &  cfg_filename,
DarkHelp::MStr  m 
)

This is used to insert lines into the [net] section of the configuration file.

Pass in a map of key-value pairs, and if the key exists it will be modified. If the key does not exist, then it will be added to the bottom of the [net] section.

For example, this is used by DarkHelp::NN::init() when DarkHelp::Config::modify_batch_and_subdivisions is enabled.

Returns
The number of lines that were modified or had to be inserted into the configuration file.
Exceptions
std::invalid_argumentif the cfg file does not exist or cannot be opened
std::runtime_errorif a valid start and end to the [net] section wasn't found in the .cfg file
std::runtime_errorif we cannot write a new .cfg file
std::runtime_errorif we cannot rename the .cfg file

◆ fast_resize_ignore_aspect_ratio()

cv::Mat DarkHelp::fast_resize_ignore_aspect_ratio ( const cv::Mat &  mat,
const cv::Size &  desired_size 
)

Resize the given image as quickly as possible to the given dimensions.

This will sacrifice quality for speed. If OpenCV has been compiled with support for CUDA, then this will utilise the GPU to do the resizing.

Note
Timing tests on Jetson devices as well as full NVIDIA GPUs show this is not significantly different than the usual call to cv::resize(). Probably would be of bigger impact if the image resizing was done on a different thread, and then fed to DarkHelp for inference so the image resize and inference can happen in parallel.

float &  h 
)

◆ get_default_annotation_colours()

DarkHelp::VColours DarkHelp::get_default_annotation_colours ( )

Obtain a vector of at least 25 different bright colours that may be used to annotate images.

OpenCV uses BGR, not RGB. For example:

  • "{0, 0, 255}" is pure red
  • "{255, 0, 0}" is pure blue

The colours returned by this function are intended to be used by OpenCV, and thus are in BGR format.

The DarkHelp namespace contains (almost) everything in the DarkHelp library.
Definition: DarkHelp.hpp:50

This would generate text similar to this:

prediction results: 12
-> 1/12: "Barcode 94%" #43 prob=0.939646 x=430 y=646 w=173 h=17 entries=1
-> 2/12: "Tag 100%" #40 prob=0.999954 x=366 y=320 w=281 h=375 entries=1
-> 3/12: "G 85%, 2 12%" #19 prob=0.846418 x=509 y=600 w=28 h=37 entries=2 [ 2=0.122151 19=0.846418 ]
...

Where:

  • "1/12" is the number of predictions found.
  • "Barcode 94%" is the class name and the probability if DarkHelp::Config::names_include_percentage is enabled.
  • "#43" is the zero-based class index.
  • "prob=0.939646" is the probabilty that it is class #43. (Multiply by 100 to get percentage.)
  • "x=..." are the X, Y, width, and height of the rectangle that was identified.
  • "entries=1" means that only 1 class was matched. If there is more than 1 possible class, then the class index and probability for each class will be shown.

◆ pixelate_rectangle()

void DarkHelp::pixelate_rectangle ( const cv::Mat &  src,

)

Pixelate the given rectangle.

This will copy the src image to dst prior to pixelating if the two images are not the same size.

The size determines the width and height of the cells that will be used to pixelate the rectangle. If size is less than 5, no pixelation will take place.

◆ resize_keeping_aspect_ratio()

cv::Mat DarkHelp::resize_keeping_aspect_ratio ( cv::Mat  mat,
const cv::Size &  desired_size 
)

Convenience function to resize an image yet retain the exact original aspect ratio.

Performs no resizing if the image is already the desired size. Depending on the size of the original image and the desired size, a "best" size will be chosen that does not exceed the specified size. No letterboxing will be performed.

For example, if the image is 640x480, and the specified size is 400x400, the image returned will be 400x300 which maintains the original 1.333 aspect ratio.

◆ toggle_output_redirection()

void DarkHelp::toggle_output_redirection ( )

Toggle STDOUT and STDERR output redirection.

The first time this is called, both STDOUT and STDERR will be redirected to /dev/null (on Linux) or NUL: (on Windows). Then when called again, both STDOUT and STDERR should be restored to their original location. This is used to temporarily redirect the flood of output from Darknet while it loads the neural network. This may be called multiple times as necessary to toggle the state of redirection.

◆ verify_cfg_and_weights()

DarkHelp::MStr DarkHelp::verify_cfg_and_weights ( std::string &  cfg_filename,
std::string &  weights_filename,
std::string &  names_filename 
)

Look at the names and/or the contents of all 3 files and swap the filenames around if necessary so the .cfg, .weights, and .names are assigned where they should be.

This is necessary because darknet tends to segfault if it is given the wrong filename. (For example, if it mistakenly tries to parse the .weights file as a .cfg file.) This function does a bit of sanity checking, determines which file is which, and also returns a map of debug information related to each file.

On input, it doesn't matter which file goes into which parameter. Simply pass in the filenames in any order.

On output, the .cfg, .weights, and .names will be set correctly. If needed for display purposes, some additional information is also passed back using the MStr string map, but most callers should ignore this output.

Parameters
[in]image_sizeSince YOLO annotations are normalized, the image dimensions must be provided for the cv::Rect object to be populated with the correct coordinates.
[out]filenameCan be either the image filename, or the annotations filename. This is then used in a call to yolo_annotations_filename() to find the actual annotations filename.
Note
Some simple input validation is automatically performed on the annotations by using fix_out_of_bound_normalized_rect().

Each line of a YOLO-format annotation is composed of 5 space-delimited fields:

  • the zero-based class id
  • the normalized center X coordinate
  • the normalized center Y coordinate
  • the normalized width
  • the normalized height
