Outputs config reference

OutputsConfig controls two layers of prediction handling:

• how detections are transformed before formatting,
• how formatted outputs are written to disk.

Defined in batdetect2.outputs.config.

Fields

• format
  • output format config.
• transform
  • output transform config.

Mental model

The output workflow is:

1. model outputs are decoded into detections,
2. optional output transforms filter or adjust those detections,
3. a formatter serializes them to disk.

Default behavior

By default, the current stack uses the raw output formatter unless you override it.

For CLI processing commands, omitting --format now leaves format selection to the loaded outputs config. If no outputs config is provided, the CLI still uses its command defaults.
