mindspore.dataset.Cifar10Dataset

class mindspore.dataset.Cifar10Dataset(dataset_dir, usage=None, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=None, shuffle=None, sampler=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None, cache=None)

CIFAR-10 dataset.

This api only supports parsing CIFAR-10 file in binary version now. The generated dataset has two columns [image, label] . The tensor of column image is of the uint8 type. The tensor of column label is a scalar of the uint32 type.

Parameters

• dataset_dir (str) – Path to the root directory that contains the dataset.

• usage (str, optional) – Usage of this dataset, can be 'train' , 'test' or 'all' . 'train' will read from 50,000 train samples, 'test' will read from 10,000 test samples, 'all' will read from all 60,000 samples. Default: None , all samples.

• 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 worker threads to read the data. Default: None , will use global default workers(8), it can be set by mindspore.dataset.config.set_num_parallel_workers() .

• shuffle (bool, optional) – Whether 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.

• 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.

Raises

• RuntimeError – If dataset_dir does not contain data files.

• 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.

• ValueError – If shard_id is not in range of [0, num_shards ).

• ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.

• ValueError – If usage is not 'train' , 'test' or 'all' .

Note

• 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

>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>> cifar10_dataset_dir = "/path/to/cifar10_dataset_directory"
>>>
>>> # 1) Get all samples from CIFAR10 dataset in sequence
>>> dataset = ds.Cifar10Dataset(dataset_dir=cifar10_dataset_dir, shuffle=False)
>>>
>>> # 2) Randomly select 350 samples from CIFAR10 dataset
>>> dataset = ds.Cifar10Dataset(dataset_dir=cifar10_dataset_dir, num_samples=350, shuffle=True)
>>>
>>> # 3) Get samples from CIFAR10 dataset for shard 0 in a 2-way distributed training
>>> dataset = ds.Cifar10Dataset(dataset_dir=cifar10_dataset_dir, num_shards=2, shard_id=0)
>>>
>>> # In CIFAR10 dataset, each dictionary has keys "image" and "label"

About CIFAR-10 dataset:

The CIFAR-10 dataset consists of 60000 32x32 color images in 10 classes, with 6000 images per class. There are 50000 training images and 10000 test images. The 10 different classes represent airplanes, cars, birds, cats, deer, dogs, frogs, horses, ships, and trucks.

Here is the original CIFAR-10 dataset structure. You can unzip the dataset files into the following directory structure and read by MindSpore’s API.
