Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
data	np.ndarray	Required	Per-pixel segmentation labels with shape (H, W) and a supported integer dtype.
compression	ImageCompression | int	ImageCompression.NONE	Compression codec used during serialization.

Raises

Exception	Condition
TypeError	data isn't an np.ndarray
ValueError	data isn't 2-D, is empty (H or W is 0), has an unsupported dtype, contains a negative label (checked for signed dtypes only), or compression is invalid

Supported Dtypes

uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, int8, int16, int32, int64. No floating-point dtypes.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
data	np.ndarray	Defensive copy of the label array. Assigning re-validates the same way as construction.
shape	tuple[int, int]	(height, width).
height	int	Image height.
width	int	Image width.
dtype	np.dtype	Dtype of the label array.
compression	ImageCompression	On-wire codec. Read-only (no setter).
label_codes	np.ndarray	Sorted unique label codes present in data, recomputed via np.unique on every access (not cached).
number_of_labels	int	Count of distinct label codes present, recomputed via np.unique on every access (not cached).

Methods

Method	Type	Description
SegmentationImage.coerce(value)	SegmentationImage	Converts an np.ndarray of label codes into a SegmentationImage, running the same validation as the constructor. If value is already a SegmentationImage, it is returned unchanged.
SegmentationImage.from_raw_buffer(buffer, shape, dtype, compression=NONE)	SegmentationImage	Builds a SegmentationImage from raw label bytes, reshaping them to shape. buffer's size must match shape.
SegmentationImage.from_encoded_buffer(buffer, compression=NONE)	SegmentationImage	Decodes a single-channel encoded image (e.g. an 8-bit or 16-bit PNG) directly into per-pixel label codes; no scaling or colormap lookup is applied.
SegmentationImage.from_path(path, compression=NONE)	SegmentationImage	Reads and decodes an encoded label image file from disk, the same way as from_encoded_buffer.
SegmentationImage.from_url(url, compression=NONE, connect_timeout=5.0, read_timeout=30.0)	SegmentationImage	Downloads and decodes an encoded label image from a URL, the same way as from_encoded_buffer.
to_numpy(copy=True)	np.ndarray	Returns the label array as a plain array. With the default copy=True you get an independent copy; pass copy=False to get a direct reference to the internal array instead, so mutating it also mutates the SegmentationImage.
to_binary()	SegmentationImage	Returns a new uint8 SegmentationImage where every non-zero label becomes 1 (foreground) and 0 stays 0 (background). Label identity beyond zero/non-zero is not preserved.
copy()	SegmentationImage	Returns a new, independent SegmentationImage with the same labels and compression setting.
save_to_path(path)	None	Writes the label image to disk as a lossless PNG, creating any missing parent directories. Only uint8, uint16, and int32 label data can be saved this way.

Operators

Operation	Behavior
img == other	Compare label data with another SegmentationImage value.
np.asarray(img)	Convert the label array to a NumPy array with np.asarray(img).
repr(img)	Shows a compact summary string.
