# Segments.ai

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 computer vision 매 labeling platform — 2D/3D segmentation, point cloud, AI-assisted"**. 매 production tool for multi-modal CV datasets — 매 SAM 2 integration, lidar cuboid, semantic/instance/panoptic segmentation. 매 alternative: Roboflow, Scale AI, Labelbox, CVAT.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Modalities
- **2D**: Bounding box, polygon, semantic, instance, panoptic, keypoint.
- **3D point cloud**: 매 cuboid, segmentation (autonomous driving).
- **Multi-sensor**: 매 synced lidar + camera (매 AV use case).
- **Image sequence / video**: 매 tracking 가 supported.

### 매 AI-assisted
- 매 SAM 2 integration: 매 click → instance mask.
- 매 model-in-the-loop: 매 your trained model 매 pre-label → human correct.
- 매 active learning: 매 uncertain samples 매 priority queue.

### 매 Dataset export
- COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC, Cityscapes formats.
- HuggingFace `datasets` integration.
- 매 versioning: 매 release immutable snapshots.

### 매 응용
1. Autonomous driving lidar+camera labeling.
2. Medical imaging segmentation.
3. Robotics grasp annotation.
4. Pre-training dataset curation (매 SAM bootstrap).

## 💻 패턴

### Upload dataset
```python
from segments import SegmentsClient

client = SegmentsClient(api_key="YOUR_KEY")
dataset = client.add_dataset(
    name="my-org/road-scenes",
    task_type="segmentation-bitmap",
    description="Highway driving scenes",
)
for img_path in image_paths:
    asset = client.upload_asset(open(img_path, "rb"), filename=img_path.name)
    client.add_sample(
        dataset_identifier="my-org/road-scenes",
        name=img_path.name,
        attributes={"image": {"url": asset.url}},
    )
```

### Pre-label with SAM 2
```python
from segments.utils import bitmap2file
import numpy as np
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2
from sam2.sam2_image_predictor import SAM2ImagePredictor

sam = build_sam2("configs/sam2.1_hiera_l.yaml", "sam2_hiera_large.pt")
predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor(sam)

predictor.set_image(image)
masks, _, _ = predictor.predict(point_coords=[[x, y]], point_labels=[1])
mask = masks[0].astype(np.uint8)

bitmap_file = bitmap2file(mask, is_segmentation_bitmap=True)
asset = client.upload_asset(bitmap_file, filename="mask.png")
client.add_label(
    sample_uuid=sample.uuid,
    labelset="ground-truth",
    attributes={"format_version": "0.1", "annotations": [...], "segmentation_bitmap": {"url": asset.url}},
)
```

### Active learning loop
```python
def active_learning_round(model, unlabeled_samples, k=100):
    scores = []
    for s in unlabeled_samples:
        img = load_image(s.attributes["image"]["url"])
        logits = model.predict(img)
        entropy = -(logits.softmax(-1) * logits.log_softmax(-1)).sum()
        scores.append((s, entropy.item()))
    top = sorted(scores, key=lambda x: -x[1])[:k]
    for s, _ in top:
        client.update_sample(s.uuid, priority=10)  # 매 high priority
```

### Export to HuggingFace
```python
from segments.huggingface import release2dataset

release = client.add_release("my-org/road-scenes", name="v1.0")
hf_dataset = release2dataset(release)
hf_dataset.push_to_hub("my-username/road-scenes-v1")
```

### 3D point cloud cuboid
```python
client.add_sample(
    dataset_identifier="my-org/lidar",
    name="frame_001",
    attributes={
        "pcd": {"url": "s3://.../frame_001.pcd", "type": "pcd"},
        "ego_pose": {"position": {"x": 0, "y": 0, "z": 0}, "heading": {...}},
        "default_z": -1.5,
    },
)
```

### Webhook-driven CI
```python
# Flask endpoint receiving Segments.ai webhook
@app.post("/segments-webhook")
def on_label_finalized(req):
    event = req.json
    if event["action"] == "labelset.released":
        trigger_training_pipeline(release_uuid=event["release"]["uuid"])
    return {"ok": True}
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Multi-modal AV (lidar+cam) | 매 Segments.ai 또는 Scale AI |
| 2D bbox only | 매 Roboflow (cheaper) |
| Self-host required | 매 CVAT |
| Enterprise ops | 매 Labelbox |
| Quick prototype | 매 Roboflow / LabelStudio |

**기본값**: 매 lidar+camera 면 Segments.ai, 매 2D-only 면 Roboflow.

## 🔗 Graph
- 부모: [[MLOps]]
- 응용: [[Robotics]]
- Adjacent: [[Active Learning]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 production CV labeling pipeline, 매 multi-modal sensor fusion dataset.
**언제 X**: 매 LLM text labeling (Argilla 사용), 매 small one-off (LabelStudio OSS).

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **No version control**: 매 release snapshot 무시 → 매 reproducibility 불가.
- **Manual-only labeling**: 매 SAM pre-label 무시 → 10× slower.
- **Skip QA**: 매 reviewer-disagreement metric 무시 → noisy labels.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (segments.ai docs, Python SDK v1.x).
- 신뢰도 B+ (commercial product, 매 docs 매 reliable but 매 non-academic).
