`]; Pixeltable can export data directly from tables and views to the popular [Voxel51](https://voxel51.com/) frontend, providing a way to visualize and explore image and video datasets. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to: * Export data from Pixeltable to Voxel51 * Apply labels from image classification and object detection models to exported data We begin by installing the necessary libraries for this tutorial. ```python theme={null} %pip install -qU pixeltable fiftyone torch transformers ``` ## Example 1: An Image Dataset ```python theme={null} import fiftyone as fo import pixeltable as pxt # Create a Pixeltable directory for the demo. We first drop the directory if it # exists, in order to ensure a clean environment. pxt.drop_dir('fo_demo', force=True) pxt.create_dir('fo_demo') ``` 
  Connected to Pixeltable database at: postgresql+psycopg://postgres:@/pixeltable?host=/Users/pjlb/.pixeltable/pgdata
  Created directory 'fo\_demo'.
  \
```python theme={null} # Create a Pixeltable table for our dataset and insert some sample images. url_prefix = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltable/pixeltable/main/docs/resources/images' urls = [ 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltable/pixeltable/main/docs/resources/images/000000000019.jpg', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltable/pixeltable/main/docs/resources/images/000000000025.jpg', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltable/pixeltable/main/docs/resources/images/000000000030.jpg', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltable/pixeltable/main/docs/resources/images/000000000034.jpg', ] t = pxt.create_table('fo_demo/images', {'image': pxt.Image}) t.insert({'image': url} for url in urls) t.head() ``` 
  Created table 'images'.
  Inserted 4 rows with 0 errors in 0.71 s (5.60 rows/s)
Now we export our new table to a Voxel51 dataset and load it into a new Voxel51 session within our demo notebook. Once it’s been loaded, the images can be interactively navigated as with any other Voxel51 dataset. ```python theme={null} fo_dataset = pxt.io.export_images_as_fo_dataset(t, t.image) session = fo.launch_app(fo_dataset) ```

## Adding Labels We’ll now show how Voxel51 labels can be attached to the exported dataset. Currently, Pixeltable supports only classification and detection labels; other Voxel51 label types may be added in the future. First, let’s generate some labels by applying two models from the Huggingface `transformers` library: A ViT model for image classification and a DETR model for object detection. ```python theme={null} from pixeltable.functions.huggingface import ( detr_for_object_detection, vit_for_image_classification, ) t.add_computed_column( classifications=vit_for_image_classification( t.image, model_id='google/vit-base-patch16-224' ) ) t.add_computed_column( detections=detr_for_object_detection( t.image, model_id='facebook/detr-resnet-50' ) ) ``` 
  Added 4 column values with 0 errors in 4.17 s (0.96 rows/s)
  Added 4 column values with 0 errors in 2.72 s (1.47 rows/s)
  4 rows updated.
Both models output JSON containing the model results. Let’s peek at the contents of our table now: ```python theme={null} t.head() ```
Now we need to transform our model data into the format the Voxel51 API expects (see the Pixeltable documentation for [pxt.io.export\_images\_as\_fo\_dataset](/sdk/latest/io#func-export_images_as_fo_dataset) for details). We’ll use Pixeltable UDFs to do the appropriate conversions. ```python theme={null} @pxt.udf def vit_to_fo(vit_labels: list) -> list: return [ {'label': label, 'confidence': score} for label, score in zip( vit_labels['label_text'], vit_labels['scores'] ) ] @pxt.udf def detr_to_fo(img: pxt.Image, detr_labels: dict) -> list: result = [] for label, box, score in zip( detr_labels['label_text'], detr_labels['boxes'], detr_labels['scores'], ): # DETR gives us bounding boxes in (x1,y1,x2,y2) absolute (pixel) coordinates. # Voxel51 expects (x,y,w,h) relative (fractional) coordinates. # So we need to do a conversion. fo_box = [ box[0] / img.width, box[1] / img.height, (box[2] - box[0]) / img.width, (box[3] - box[1]) / img.height, ] result.append( {'label': label, 'bounding_box': fo_box, 'confidence': score} ) return result ``` We can test that our UDFs are working as expected with a `select()` statement. ```python theme={null} t.select( t.image, t.classifications, vit_to_fo(t.classifications), t.detections, detr_to_fo(t.image, t.detections), ).head() ```
Now we pass the modified structures to `export_images_as_fo_dataset`. ```python theme={null} fo_dataset = pxt.io.export_images_as_fo_dataset( t, t.image, classifications=vit_to_fo(t.classifications), detections=detr_to_fo(t.image, t.detections), ) session = fo.launch_app(fo_dataset) ``` 
   28 \[41.8ms elapsed, ? remaining, 669.2 samples/s] 
## Adding Multiple Label Sets You can include multiple label sets of the same type in the same dataset by passing a `list` or `dict` of expressions to the `classifications` and/or `detections` parameters. If a `list` is specified, default names will be assigned to the label sets; if a `dict` is specified, the label sets will be named according to its keys. As an example, let’s try recomputing our detections using the more powerful DETR model ResNet-101, and then load them into the same Voxel51 dataset as the earlier detections in order to compare them side-by-side. ```python theme={null} t.add_computed_column( detections_101=detr_for_object_detection( t.image, model_id='facebook/detr-resnet-101' ) ) ``` 
  Added 4 column values with 0 errors in 21.91 s (0.18 rows/s)
  4 rows updated.
```python theme={null} fo_dataset = pxt.io.export_images_as_fo_dataset( t, t.image, classifications=vit_to_fo(t.classifications), detections={ 'detections_50': detr_to_fo(t.image, t.detections), 'detections_101': detr_to_fo(t.image, t.detections_101), }, ) session = fo.launch_app(fo_dataset) ``` 
   28 \[44.2ms elapsed, ? remaining, 633.4 samples/s] 
Exploring the resulting images, we can see that the results are not much different between the two models, at least on our small sample dataset. Built with [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com).
