mindspore.dataset.SBDataset

class mindspore.dataset.SBDataset(dataset_dir, task='Boundaries', usage='all', num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=1, shuffle=None, decode=None, sampler=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None)

SB(Semantic Boundaries) Dataset.

By configuring the task parameter, the generated dataset has different output columns.

• task is 'Boundaries' , there are two output columns: the ‘image’ column has the data type uint8 and the ‘label’ column contains one image of the data type uint8.

• task is 'Segmentation' , there are two output columns: the ‘image’ column has the data type uint8 and the ‘label’ column contains 20 images of the data type uint8.

Parameters

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

• task (str, optional) – Acceptable tasks include 'Boundaries' or 'Segmentation'. Default: 'Boundaries'.

• usage (str, optional) – Acceptable usages include 'train', 'val', 'train_noval' and 'all'. Default: 'all'.

• 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 to perform shuffle on the dataset. Default: None , expected order behavior shown in the table below.

• decode (bool, optional) – Decode the images after reading. Default: None , means 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 max 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 is not valid or 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 dataset_dir is not exist.

• ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.

• ValueError – If task is not 'Boundaries' or 'Segmentation'.

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

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

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
>>> sb_dataset_dir = "/path/to/sb_dataset_directory"
>>>
>>> # 1) Get all samples from Semantic Boundaries Dataset in sequence
>>> dataset = ds.SBDataset(dataset_dir=sb_dataset_dir, shuffle=False)
>>>
>>> # 2) Randomly select 350 samples from Semantic Boundaries Dataset
>>> dataset = ds.SBDataset(dataset_dir=sb_dataset_dir, num_samples=350, shuffle=True)
>>>
>>> # 3) Get samples from Semantic Boundaries Dataset for shard 0 in a 2-way distributed training
>>> dataset = ds.SBDataset(dataset_dir=sb_dataset_dir, num_shards=2, shard_id=0)
>>>
>>> # In Semantic Boundaries Dataset, each dictionary has keys "image" and "task"

About Semantic Boundaries Dataset:

The Semantic Boundaries Dataset consists of 11355 color images. There are 8498 images’ name in the train.txt, 2857 images’ name in the val.txt and 5623 images’ name in the train_noval.txt. The category cls/ contains the Segmentation and Boundaries results of category-level, the category inst/ contains the Segmentation and Boundaries results of instance-level.

You can unzip the dataset files into the following structure and read by MindSpore’s API:
