# Message Types

Here are the custom message types that we introduce in this package. They are used as output types of the parsers.
Parser creators return native DepthAI messages. The parser-specific message types
are available under `dai.beta`:

Document the minimum DepthAI version.

This migration requires DepthAI 3.9 or newer. State that requirement before listing dai.beta types. This prevents import failures for users on earlier versions.

stating that DepthAI version 3.9 or newer is required before the existing
`dai.beta` message-type guidance in the parser creators documentation.

## Classifications

Classification class for storing the classes and their respective scores.

### Attributes

- **classes** (list\[str\]): A list of classes.
- **scores** (NDArray\[np.float32\]): Corresponding probability scores.

## Cluster

Cluster class for storing a cluster.

### Attributes

- **label** (int): Label of the cluster.
- **points** (List\[dai.Point2f\]): List of points in the cluster.

## Clusters

Clusters class for storing clusters.

### Attributes

- **clusters** (List\[[Cluster](#cluster)\]): List of clusters.
depthai-nodes retains only the package-specific messages below because DepthAI has
no native equivalent for them.

## Collection

Collection class for storing a list of messages or other items of the same type.

### Attributes

- **items** (List\[T\]): List of collected items.
- **item_cls** (Optional\[Type\[T\]\]): Runtime item type inferred from the first item once the collection is non-empty.

Items can be added with `append(...)` or `extend(...)`. The collection enforces that all items have the same inferred type.
`Collection` stores a list of messages or other items of the same runtime type.
Items can be added with `append(...)` or `extend(...)`.

## GatheredData

GatheredData class for storing a reference message and the messages gathered for that reference.

### Attributes

- **reference_data** (TReference): Reference message used to determine how many items to gather.
- **items** (List\[TGathered\]): List of gathered messages.
- **item_cls** (Optional\[Type\[TGathered\]\]): Runtime gathered-item type inferred from the first item once the collection is non-empty.

GatheredData inherits [Collection](#collection) behavior, so all gathered items must have the same inferred type. Setting `reference_data` copies the reference message sequence number, timestamp, and device timestamp to the GatheredData message.

## Keypoints

Keypoints class for storing keypoints and optional skeleton edges.

### Attributes

- **keypoints_list** (dai.KeypointsList): Native DepthAI keypoints list containing keypoints and edges.
- **transformation** (Optional\[dai.ImgTransformation\]): Optional image transformation associated with the keypoints.

The keypoints can be accessed with `getKeypoints()` and set with `setKeypoints(...)`. Each keypoint is a `dai.Keypoint` with image coordinates, confidence, and optional label name. Edges can be accessed with `getEdges()` and set with `setEdges(...)`.

## Line

Line class for storing a line.

### Attributes

- **start_point** (dai.Point2f): Start point of the line with x and y coordinates.
- **end_point** (dai.Point2f): End point of the line with x and y coordinates.
- **confidence** (float): Confidence of the line.

## Lines

Lines class for storing lines.

### Attributes

- **lines** (List\[[Line](#line)\]): List of detected lines.

## Map2D

Map2D class for storing a 2D map of floats.

### Attributes

- **map** (NDArray\[np.float32\]): 2D map.
- **width** (int): 2D Map width.
- **height** (int): 2D Map height.

## Prediction

Prediction class for storing a prediction.

### Attributes

- **prediction** (float): The predicted value.

## Predictions

Predictions class for storing predictions.

### Attributes

- **predictions** (List\[[Prediction](#prediction)\]): List of predictions.
`GatheredData` stores a reference message and the messages gathered for that
reference. It inherits `Collection` and copies timestamp and sequence metadata from
the reference message.

## SnapData

SnapData class for representing a single snap event to be uploaded to DepthAI Hub.

### Attributes

- **snap_name** (str): Logical name of the snap.
- **file_group** (dai.FileGroup): Object containing the snap image and associated data (e.g., images, detections).
- **tags** (List\[str\]): Optional list of tags for categorizing the snap.
- **extras** (Dict\[str, str\]): Additional metadata as key-value pairs.
`SnapData` represents a snap event uploaded to DepthAI Hub. It contains the snap
name, a `dai.FileGroup`, optional tags, and string metadata.
