I am trying to convert the keypoint float values into integers the json.dumps save the changes like i perform (del person['area']) but do not save the changes i applied on keypoint. in CLI of python it displays the keypoints as integer array but when i dumps it to new json file the changes are not don and save as the same original. Help appreciate

Answer 1

You have to reassign the keypoints in the given json after converting the data.

check below code:

for person in data['annotations']:
    key = person["keypoints"]
    person["keypoints"] = [math.trunc(k) for k in key]
