mmengine.registry.build_from_cfg

mmengine.registry.build_from_cfg(cfg, registry, default_args=None)[source]

Build a module from config dict when it is a class configuration, or call a function from config dict when it is a function configuration.

If the global variable default scope (DefaultScope) exists, build() will firstly get the responding registry and then call its own build().

At least one of the cfg and default_args contains the key “type”, which should be either str or class. If they all contain it, the key in cfg will be used because cfg has a high priority than default_args that means if a key exists in both of them, the value of the key will be cfg[key]. They will be merged first and the key “type” will be popped up and the remaining keys will be used as initialization arguments.

Examples

>>> from mmengine import Registry, build_from_cfg
>>> MODELS = Registry('models')
>>> @MODELS.register_module()
>>> class ResNet:
>>>     def __init__(self, depth, stages=4):
>>>         self.depth = depth
>>>         self.stages = stages
>>> cfg = dict(type='ResNet', depth=50)
>>> model = build_from_cfg(cfg, MODELS)
>>> # Returns an instantiated object
>>> @MODELS.register_module()
>>> def resnet50():
>>>     pass
>>> resnet = build_from_cfg(dict(type='resnet50'), MODELS)
>>> # Return a result of the calling function
Parameters
  • cfg (dict or ConfigDict or Config) – Config dict. It should at least contain the key “type”.

  • registry (Registry) – The registry to search the type from.

  • default_args (dict or ConfigDict or Config, optional) – Default initialization arguments. Defaults to None.

Returns

The constructed object.
