select_by_segmenting

ketos.data_handling.selection_table.select_by_segmenting(files, length, annotations=None, step=None, pad=True, discard_empty=False, keep_only_empty=False, label_empty=0, avoid_label=None)[source]

Generate a selection table by stepping across the audio files, using a fixed step size (step) and fixed selection window size (length).

Unlike the data_handling.selection_table.select() method, selections created by this method are not characterized by a single, integer-valued label, but rather a list of annotations (which can have any length, including zero).

Therefore, the method returns not one, but two tables: A selection table indexed by filename and segment id, and an annotation table indexed by filename, segment id, and annotation id.

However, if keep_only_empty=True only a selection table is returned. This table has a column named label with all entries having the same value, as specified via the label_empty argument.

Args:
files: pandas DataFrame

Table with file durations in seconds. Should contain columns named ‘filename’ and ‘duration’.

length: float

Selection length in seconds.

annotations: pandas DataFrame

Annotation table.

step: float

Selection step size in seconds. If None, the step size is set equal to the selection length.

pad: bool

If True (default), the last selection window is allowed to extend beyond the endpoint of the audio file.

discard_empty: bool

If True, only selection that contain annotations will be used. If False (default), all selections are used.

keep_only_empty: bool

If True, only selections without any annotations are used, and only the selections table is returned. Default is False.

label_empty: int

Only relevant if keep_only_empty is True. Value to be assigned to selections without annotations. Default is 0.

avoid_label: int or list(int)

If specified, only selections without annotations with these labels are used.

Returns:
sel: pandas DataFrame

Selection table

annot: pandas DataFrame

Annotations table. Only returned if annotations is specified and keep_only_empty is False.

Example:
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from ketos.data_handling.selection_table import select_by_segmenting, standardize
>>> 
>>> #Load and inspect the annotations.
>>> annot = pd.read_csv("ketos/tests/assets/annot_001.csv")
>>>
>>> #Standardize annotation table format
>>> annot = standardize(annot, start_labels_at_1=True)
>>> print(annot)
