fix(detection): scale `from_tensorflow` boxes by correct axes (#2360)
`Detections.from_tensorflow` scaled the normalized box coordinates by the
wrong image dimensions: the y coordinates (ymin/ymax, columns 0 and 2) were
multiplied by width and the x coordinates (xmin/xmax, columns 1 and 3) by
height. Tensorflow Hub object-detection models emit `detection_boxes` as
normalized `[ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax]`, so y must scale by height and x by
width.

The bug is masked on square images (width == height) but corrupts every
coordinate on the common non-square case — e.g. a box normalized to
`[0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.6]` on a 1000x500 image came out as
`[100, 100, 300, 500]` instead of the correct `[200, 50, 600, 250]`.

Swap the two multipliers so y scales by `resolution_wh[1]` (height) and x by
`resolution_wh[0]` (width). Adds a non-square regression test (the connector
was previously untested).

- Expand tensorflow_results arg to document required dict keys and tensor
  shapes so callers know what to pass before getting a KeyError
- Add Note: section documenting the [ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax] normalized
  box format; the inline comment was only visible to code readers
- Fix SOURCE_IMAGE_PATH undefined identifier → "<SOURCE_IMAGE_PATH>"
  string placeholder (consistent with other connector examples in file)

📑 Table of Contents

👋 Hello

We are your essential toolkit for computer vision. From data loading to real-time zone counting, we provide the building blocks so you can focus on building applications around your models. 🤝

💻 Install

Pip install the supervision package in a Python>=3.10 environment.

pip install supervision

Read more about conda, mamba, and installing from source in our guide.

🔥 Quickstart

Models

Supervision was designed to be model agnostic. Just plug in any classification, detection, or segmentation model. For your convenience, we have created connectors for the most popular libraries like Ultralytics, Transformers, MMDetection, or Inference. Other integrations, like rfdetr, already return sv.Detections directly.

Install the optional dependencies for this example with pip install pillow rfdetr.

import supervision as sv
from PIL import Image
from rfdetr import RFDETRSmall

image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpg")
model = RFDETRSmall()
detections = model.predict(image, threshold=0.5)

len(detections)
# 5
👉 more model connectors
  • inference

    Running with Inference requires a Roboflow API KEY.

    import supervision as sv
    from PIL import Image
    from inference import get_model
    
    image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpg")
    model = get_model(model_id="rfdetr-small", api_key="ROBOFLOW_API_KEY")
    result = model.infer(image)[0]
    detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(result)
    
    len(detections)
    # 5
    

Annotators

Supervision offers a wide range of highly customizable annotators, allowing you to compose the perfect visualization for your use case.

import cv2
import supervision as sv

image = cv2.imread("path/to/image.jpg")
# Assuming detections are obtained from a model
detections = sv.Detections(...)

box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
annotated_frame = box_annotator.annotate(scene=image.copy(), detections=detections)

Datasets

Supervision provides a set of utils that allow you to load, split, merge, and save datasets in one of the supported formats.

import supervision as sv
from roboflow import Roboflow

project = Roboflow().workspace("WORKSPACE_ID").project("PROJECT_ID")
dataset = project.version("PROJECT_VERSION").download("coco")

ds = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco(
    images_directory_path=f"{dataset.location}/train",
    annotations_path=f"{dataset.location}/train/_annotations.coco.json",
)

path, image, annotation = ds[0]
# loads image on demand

for path, image, annotation in ds:
    # loads image on demand
    pass

  • load

    dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_yolo(

    dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco(

        annotations_path=...,
    )
    
  • split

    train_dataset, test_dataset = dataset.split(split_ratio=0.7)
    test_dataset, valid_dataset = test_dataset.split(split_ratio=0.5)
    
    len(train_dataset), len(test_dataset), len(valid_dataset)
    # (700, 150, 150)
    
  • merge

    ds_1 = sv.DetectionDataset(...)
    len(ds_1)
    # 100
    ds_1.classes
    # ['dog', 'person']
    
    ds_2 = sv.DetectionDataset(...)
    len(ds_2)
    # 200
    ds_2.classes
    # ['cat']
    
    ds_merged = sv.DetectionDataset.merge([ds_1, ds_2])
    len(ds_merged)
    # 300
    ds_merged.classes
    # ['cat', 'dog', 'person']
