mindspore.dataset.Caltech101Dataset

class mindspore.dataset.Caltech101Dataset(dataset_dir, target_type=None, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=1, shuffle=None, decode=False, sampler=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None)

Caltech 101 dataset.

The columns of the generated dataset depend on the value of target_type .

• When target_type is 'category', the columns are [image, category] .

• When target_type is 'annotation', the columns are [image, annotation] .

• When target_type is 'all', the columns are [image, category, annotation] .

The tensor of column image is of the uint8 type. The tensor of column category is of the uint32 type. The tensor of column annotation is a 2-dimensional ndarray that stores the contour of the image and consists of a series of points.

Parameters

• dataset_dir (str) – Path to the root directory that contains the dataset. This root directory contains two subdirectories, one is called 101_ObjectCategories, which stores images, and the other is called Annotations, which stores annotations.

• target_type (str, optional) – Target of the image. If target_type is 'category', return category represents the target class. If target_type is 'annotation', return annotation. If target_type is 'all', return category and annotation. Default: None , means 'category'.

• 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 subprocesses to read the data. Default: 1.

• shuffle (bool, optional) – Whether or not to perform shuffle on the dataset. Default: None , expected order behavior shown in the table below.

• decode (bool, optional) – Whether or not to decode the images after reading. Default: False.

• 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.

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 target_type is not 'category', 'annotation' or 'all' .

• ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.

Note

• The parameters num_samples , shuffle , num_shards , shard_id can be used to control the sampler used in the dataset, and their effects when combined with parameter sampler are as follows.

Sampler obtained by different combinations of parameters sampler and num_samples , shuffle , num_shards , shard_id

Parameter sampler	Parameter num_shards / shard_id	Parameter shuffle	Parameter num_samples	Sampler Used
mindspore.dataset.Sampler type	None	None	None	sampler
numpy.ndarray,list,tuple,int type	/	/	num_samples	SubsetSampler(indices = sampler , num_samples = num_samples )
iterable type	/	/	num_samples	IterSampler(sampler = sampler , num_samples = num_samples )
None	num_shards / shard_id	None / True	num_samples	DistributedSampler(num_shards = num_shards , shard_id = shard_id , shuffle = True , num_samples = num_samples )
None	num_shards / shard_id	False	num_samples	DistributedSampler(num_shards = num_shards , shard_id = shard_id , shuffle = False , num_samples = num_samples )
None	None	None / True	None	RandomSampler(num_samples = num_samples )
None	None	None / True	num_samples	RandomSampler(replacement = True , num_samples = num_samples )
None	None	False	num_samples	SequentialSampler(num_samples = num_samples )

Examples

>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>> caltech101_dataset_directory = "/path/to/caltech101_dataset_directory"
>>>
>>> # 1) Read all samples (image files) in caltech101_dataset_directory with 8 threads
>>> dataset = ds.Caltech101Dataset(dataset_dir=caltech101_dataset_directory, num_parallel_workers=8)
>>>
>>> # 2) Read all samples (image files) with the target_type "annotation"
>>> dataset = ds.Caltech101Dataset(dataset_dir=caltech101_dataset_directory, target_type="annotation")

About Caltech101Dataset:

Pictures of objects belonging to 101 categories, about 40 to 800 images per category. Most categories have about 50 images. The size of each image is roughly 300 x 200 pixels. The official provides the contour data of each object in each picture, which is the annotation.

Here is the original Caltech101 dataset structure, and you can unzip the dataset files into the following directory structure, which are read by MindSpore API.
