mindspore.dataset.ImageFolderDataset

class mindspore.dataset.ImageFolderDataset(dataset_dir, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=None, shuffle=None, sampler=None, extensions=None, class_indexing=None, decode=False, num_shards=None, shard_id=None, cache=None, decrypt=None)[source]

A source dataset that reads images from a tree of directories. All images within one folder have the same label.

The generated dataset has two columns: [image, label] . The tensor of column image is of the uint8 type. The tensor of column label is of a scalar of uint32 type.

Parameters

dataset_dir (str) – Path to the root directory that contains the dataset.
num_samples (int, optional) – The number of images to be included in the dataset. Default: None, all images.
num_parallel_workers (int, optional) – Number of workers to read the data. Default: None, set in the config.
shuffle (bool, optional) – Whether or not to perform shuffle on the dataset. Default: None, expected order behavior shown in the table below.
sampler (Sampler, optional) – Object used to choose samples from the dataset. Default: None, expected order behavior shown in the table below.
extensions (list[str], optional) – List of file extensions to be included in the dataset. Default: None.
class_indexing (dict, optional) – A str-to-int mapping from folder name to index Default: None, the folder names will be sorted alphabetically and each class will be given a unique index starting from 0.
decode (bool, optional) – Decode the images after reading. Default: False.
num_shards (int, optional) – Number of shards that the dataset will be divided into. Default: None. When this argument is specified, num_samples reflects the maximum sample number of per shard.
shard_id (int, optional) – The shard ID within num_shards . Default: None. This argument can only be specified when num_shards is also specified.
cache (DatasetCache, optional) – Use tensor caching service to speed up dataset processing. More details: Single-Node Data Cache . Default: None, which means no cache is used.
decrypt (callable, optional) – Image decryption function, which accepts the path of the encrypted image file and returns the decrypted bytes data. Default: None, no decryption.

Raises

RuntimeError – If dataset_dir does not contain data files.
ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.
RuntimeError – If sampler and shuffle are specified at the same time.
RuntimeError – If sampler and num_shards/shard_id are specified at the same time.
RuntimeError – If num_shards is specified but shard_id is None.
RuntimeError – If shard_id is specified but num_shards is None.
RuntimeError – If class_indexing is not a dictionary.
ValueError – If shard_id is invalid (< 0 or >= num_shards).

Note

The shape of the image column is [image_size] if decode flag is False, or [H,W,C] otherwise.
This dataset can take in a sampler . sampler and shuffle are mutually exclusive. The table below shows what input arguments are allowed and their expected behavior.

Expected Order Behavior of Using sampler and shuffle
Parameter sampler	Parameter shuffle	Expected Order Behavior
None	None	random order
None	True	random order
None	False	sequential order
Sampler object	None	order defined by sampler
Sampler object	True	not allowed
Sampler object	False	not allowed

Examples

>>> image_folder_dataset_dir = "/path/to/image_folder_dataset_directory"
>>>
>>> # 1) Read all samples (image files) in image_folder_dataset_dir with 8 threads
>>> dataset = ds.ImageFolderDataset(dataset_dir=image_folder_dataset_dir,
...                                 num_parallel_workers=8)
>>>
>>> # 2) Read all samples (image files) from folder cat and folder dog with label 0 and 1
>>> dataset = ds.ImageFolderDataset(dataset_dir=image_folder_dataset_dir,
...                                 class_indexing={"cat":0, "dog":1})
>>>
>>> # 3) Read all samples (image files) in image_folder_dataset_dir with extensions .JPEG
>>> #    and .png (case sensitive)
>>> dataset = ds.ImageFolderDataset(dataset_dir=image_folder_dataset_dir,
...                                 extensions=[".JPEG", ".png"])
