Project Meta: Classes, Tags, Settings

Each project in Supervisely has a set of predetermined classes and tags. This information is called Project Meta and stored in a corresponding JSON-based meta.json file. This file contains all the necessary data from the project's classes and tags. Also, it has information about the project's type and settings:

Fields definitions

• classes(string) - list of all possible object classes. Each class has the following fields assigned:

  • title(string) - the unique identifier of a class

  • shape(string) - class shape, read more here
  • color(string) - hex color code

  • geometry_config(dictionary) [optional] - additional settings of the geometry. May be used with keypoints.

  • id (int) [optional] - the unique identification value of the class on the server

  • hotkey (string) [optional] - hotkey for the Labeling Tool to quickly change active annotation class

• tags(string) - list of all possible tags that can be assigned to images or objects. Read more here

  • name(string) - the unique identifier of a tag

  • value_type(string) - one of the possible tag

  • color(string) - hex color code

  • values(string) [optional] - initially predefined set of possible values

  • id (int) [optional] - the unique identification value of the tag

  • hotkey (string) [optional] - hotkey for the Labeling Tool to quickly assign tag to object or image

  • applicable_type (string) [optional] - defines the applicability of Tag only to images (imagesOnly), objects (objectsOnly), or both (all). By default, tag can be assigned to both images and objects.

  • classes (list of strings) [optional] - defines the applicability of Tag only to certain classes

  • target_type (string) [optional] - Defines the scope of application. It can be applied globally for the entire duration or to individual frames, with the following values: entitiesOnly,framesOnly, all. Since images do not have "frames," the all option is used for them.

• projectType(string) - one of the possible project types: images, videos, volumes, point_clouds, and point_cloud_episodes

• projectSettings(string) [optional] - additional project properties. For example, multiview settings. Read more here

  • multiView - additional properties for the multiview mode

    • enabled(bool) - enable multiview mode

    • tagName(string) (optional) - the name of the tag which will be used as a group tag

    • tagId(int) [optional] - the ID of the tag which will be used as a group tag

    • isSynced(bool) - enable synchronization of views for the multiview mode

Please note, that it is necessary that the group tag in multiView should have the corresponding name or the id in the tags field. Also, the value_type should not be none.
