context_amount Parameter in SAHI – How to Apply Padding to Slices

[d6208540-cmyk]

Hi,

I am currently working with SAHI’s get_sliced_prediction function and I want to apply padding to the slices generated during inference. While researching, I came across references to a parameter named context_amount that is supposed to control padding around the slices.

However, after inspecting the function’s parameters, I could not find context_amount listed. I have a few questions:

Does SAHI currently support slice padding through any parameter, such as context_amount?

If yes, how should it be used effectively to include context around slice edges?

If not, are there any recommended workarounds to simulate padding for better detection accuracy near slice borders?

Any detailed explanation, example, or guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
