Format

ADAMS reports are just Java .properties files used for storing meta-data. Since these files do not store any type information, ADAMS reports store with each key-value pair of data an additional key-value pair that contains the type information. As data types, the following are supported:

• B: boolean
• N: numeric (float or integer)
• S: string
• U: unknown (treated as string)

The data type appends <TAB>DataType to the key of the data pair. Here is an example:

# comments get ignored
A=some_kind_of_string
A\tDataType=S
B=20.0
B\tDataType=N
C=true
C\tDataType=B

In case of image classification, a single field in the report will hold the class label.

For object detection (bounding box or shape), each object groups its properties via a common prefix. This is usually Object.NNN. with NNN an integer index for the object.

As suffixes the following are common:

• x: the left of the top-left corner of the bbox
• y: the top of the top-left corner of the bbox
• width: the width of the bbox
• height: the height of the bbox
• poly_x (optional): comma-separated list of x coordinates of the shape
• poly_y (optional): comma-separated list of y coordinates of the shape

All other suffixes are considered meta-data for an object. Object detection usually stores the label in the type suffix.
