tf.keras.preprocessing.image.ImageDataGenerator(
    featurewise_center=False, samplewise_center=False,
    featurewise_std_normalization=False, samplewise_std_normalization=False,
    zca_whitening=False, zca_epsilon=1e-06, rotation_range=0, width_shift_range=0.0,

    vertical_flip=False, rescale=None, preprocessing_function=None,
    data_format=None, validation_split=0.0, dtype=None
)

The data will be looped over (in batches).

Arguments
featurewise_center	Boolean. Set input mean to 0 over the dataset, feature-wise.
samplewise_center	Boolean. Set each sample mean to 0.
featurewise_std_normalization	Boolean. Divide inputs by std of the dataset, feature-wise.
samplewise_std_normalization	Boolean. Divide each input by its std.
zca_epsilon	epsilon for ZCA whitening. Default is 1e-6.
zca_whitening	Boolean. Apply ZCA whitening.
rotation_range	Int. Degree range for random rotations.
width_shift_range	Float, 1-D array-like or int float: fraction of total width, if < 1, or pixels if >= 1. 1-D array-like: random elements from the array. int: integer number of pixels from interval (-width_shift_range, +width_shift_range) With width_shift_range=2 possible values are integers [-1, 0, +1], same as with width_shift_range=[-1, 0, +1], while with width_shift_range=1.0 possible values are floats in the interval [-1.0, +1.0).
height_shift_range	Float, 1-D array-like or int float: fraction of total height, if < 1, or pixels if >= 1. 1-D array-like: random elements from the array. int: integer number of pixels from interval (-height_shift_range, +height_shift_range) With height_shift_range=2 possible values are integers [-1, 0, +1], same as with height_shift_range=[-1, 0, +1], while with height_shift_range=1.0 possible values are floats in the interval [-1.0, +1.0).
brightness_range	Tuple or list of two floats. Range for picking a brightness shift value from.
shear_range	Float. Shear Intensity (Shear angle in counter-clockwise direction in degrees)
zoom_range	Float or [lower, upper]. Range for random zoom. If a float, [lower, upper] = [1-zoom_range, 1+zoom_range].
channel_shift_range	Float. Range for random channel shifts.
fill_mode	One of {"constant", "nearest", "reflect" or "wrap"}. Default is 'nearest'. Points outside the boundaries of the input are filled according to the given mode: 'constant': kkkkkkkk|abcd|kkkkkkkk (cval=k) 'nearest': aaaaaaaa|abcd|dddddddd 'reflect': abcddcba|abcd|dcbaabcd 'wrap': abcdabcd|abcd|abcdabcd
cval	Float or Int. Value used for points outside the boundaries when fill_mode = "constant".
horizontal_flip	Boolean. Randomly flip inputs horizontally.
vertical_flip	Boolean. Randomly flip inputs vertically.
rescale	rescaling factor. Defaults to None. If None or 0, no rescaling is applied, otherwise we multiply the data by the value provided (after applying all other transformations).
preprocessing_function	function that will be applied on each input. The function will run after the image is resized and augmented. The function should take one argument: one image (Numpy tensor with rank 3), and should output a Numpy tensor with the same shape.
data_format	Image data format, either "channels_first" or "channels_last". "channels_last" mode means that the images should have shape (samples, height, width, channels), "channels_first" mode means that the images should have shape (samples, channels, height, width). It defaults to the image_data_format value found in your Keras config file at ~/.keras/keras.json. If you never set it, then it will be "channels_last".
validation_split	Float. Fraction of images reserved for validation (strictly between 0 and 1).
dtype	Dtype to use for the generated arrays.

    x, transform_parameters
)

Applies a transformation to an image according to given parameters.

Arguments

x: 3D tensor, single image.
transform_parameters: Dictionary with string - parameter pairs
    describing the transformation.
    Currently, the following parameters
    from the dictionary are used:

    - `'theta'`: Float. Rotation angle in degrees.
    - `'tx'`: Float. Shift in the x direction.
    - `'ty'`: Float. Shift in the y direction.
    - `'shear'`: Float. Shear angle in degrees.
    - `'zx'`: Float. Zoom in the x direction.
    - `'zy'`: Float. Zoom in the y direction.

    - `'channel_shift_intensity'`: Float. Channel shift intensity.
    - `'brightness'`: Float. Brightness shift intensity.

Returns

A transformed version of the input (same shape).

fit

fit(
    x, augment=False, rounds=1, seed=None
)

Fits the data generator to some sample data.

This computes the internal data stats related to the data-dependent transformations, based on an array of sample data.

Only required if featurewise_center or featurewise_std_normalization or zca_whitening are set to True.

When rescale is set to a value, rescaling is applied to sample data before computing the internal data stats.

Arguments

x: Sample data. Should have rank 4.
 In case of grayscale data,
 the channels axis should have value 1, in case
 of RGB data, it should have value 3, and in case
 of RGBA data, it should have value 4.
augment: Boolean (default: False).
    Whether to fit on randomly augmented samples.
rounds: Int (default: 1).
    If using data augmentation (`augment=True`),
    this is how many augmentation passes over the data to use.
seed: Int (default: None). Random seed.

flow

View source

flow(
    x, y=None, batch_size=32, shuffle=True, sample_weight=None, seed=None,
    save_to_dir=None, save_prefix='', save_format='png', subset=None
)

Takes data & label arrays, generates batches of augmented data.

Arguments
x	Input data. Numpy array of rank 4 or a tuple. If tuple, the first element should contain the images and the second element another numpy array or a list of numpy arrays that gets passed to the output without any modifications. Can be used to feed the model miscellaneous data along with the images. In case of grayscale data, the channels axis of the image array should have value 1, in case of RGB data, it should have value 3, and in case of RGBA data, it should have value 4.
y	Labels.
batch_size	Int (default: 32).
shuffle	Boolean (default: True).
sample_weight	Sample weights.
seed	Int (default: None).
save_to_dir	None or str (default: None). This allows you to optionally specify a directory to which to save the augmented pictures being generated (useful for visualizing what you are doing).
save_prefix	Str (default: ''). Prefix to use for filenames of saved pictures (only relevant if save_to_dir is set).
save_format	one of "png", "jpeg" (only relevant if save_to_dir is set). Default: "png".
subset	Subset of data ("training" or "validation") if validation_split is set in ImageDataGenerator.

Returns
An Iterator yielding tuples of (x, y) where x is a numpy array of image data (in the case of a single image input) or a list of numpy arrays (in the case with additional inputs) and y is a numpy array of corresponding labels. If 'sample_weight' is not None, the yielded tuples are of the form (x, y, sample_weight). If y is None, only the numpy array x is returned.

View source

flow_from_dataframe(
    dataframe, directory=None, x_col='filename', y_col='class', weight_col=None,
    target_size=(256, 256), color_mode='rgb', classes=None,
    class_mode='categorical', batch_size=32, shuffle=True, seed=None,
    save_to_dir=None, save_prefix='', save_format='png', subset=None,
    interpolation='nearest', validate_filenames=True, **kwargs
)

Takes the dataframe and the path to a directory + generates batches.

The generated batches contain augmented/normalized data.

**A simple tutorial can be found **here.

Arguments
dataframe	Pandas dataframe containing the filepaths relative to directory (or absolute paths if directory is None) of the images in a string column. It should include other column/s depending on the class_mode: - if class_mode is "categorical" (default value) it must include the y_col column with the class/es of each image. Values in column can be string/list/tuple if a single class or list/tuple if multiple classes. - if class_mode is "binary" or "sparse" it must include the given y_col column with class values as strings. - if class_mode is "raw" or "multi_output" it should contain the columns specified in y_col. - if class_mode is "input" or None no extra column is needed.
directory	string, path to the directory to read images from. If None, data in x_col column should be absolute paths.
x_col	string, column in dataframe that contains the filenames (or absolute paths if directory is None).
y_col	string or list, column/s in dataframe that has the target data.
weight_col	string, column in dataframe that contains the sample weights. Default: None.
target_size	tuple of integers (height, width), default: (256, 256). The dimensions to which all images found will be resized.
color_mode	one of "grayscale", "rgb", "rgba". Default: "rgb". Whether the images will be converted to have 1 or 3 color channels.
classes	optional list of classes (e.g. ['dogs', 'cats']). Default is None. If not provided, the list of classes will be automatically inferred from the y_col, which will map to the label indices, will be alphanumeric). The dictionary containing the mapping from class names to class indices can be obtained via the attribute class_indices.
class_mode	one of "binary", "categorical", "input", "multi_output", "raw", sparse" or None. Default: "categorical". Mode for yielding the targets: "binary": 1D numpy array of binary labels, "categorical": 2D numpy array of one-hot encoded labels. Supports multi-label output. "input": images identical to input images (mainly used to work with autoencoders), "multi_output": list with the values of the different columns, "raw": numpy array of values in y_col column(s), "sparse": 1D numpy array of integer labels, - None, no targets are returned (the generator will only yield batches of image data, which is useful to use in model.predict_generator()).
batch_size	size of the batches of data (default: 32).
shuffle	whether to shuffle the data (default: True)
seed	optional random seed for shuffling and transformations.
save_to_dir	None or str (default: None). This allows you to optionally specify a directory to which to save the augmented pictures being generated (useful for visualizing what you are doing).
save_prefix	str. Prefix to use for filenames of saved pictures (only relevant if save_to_dir is set).
save_format	one of "png", "jpeg" (only relevant if save_to_dir is set). Default: "png".
subset	Subset of data ("training" or "validation") if validation_split is set in ImageDataGenerator.
interpolation	Interpolation method used to resample the image if the target size is different from that of the loaded image. Supported methods are "nearest", "bilinear", and "bicubic". If PIL version 1.1.3 or newer is installed, "lanczos" is also supported. If PIL version 3.4.0 or newer is installed, "box" and "hamming" are also supported. By default, "nearest" is used.
validate_filenames	Boolean, whether to validate image filenames in x_col. If True, invalid images will be ignored. Disabling this option can lead to speed-up in the execution of this function. Defaults to True.
**kwargs	legacy arguments for raising deprecation warnings.

Returns
A DataFrameIterator yielding tuples of (x, y) where x is a numpy array containing a batch of images with shape (batch_size, *target_size, channels) and y is a numpy array of corresponding labels.

flow_from_directory

View source

flow_from_directory(
    directory, target_size=(256, 256), color_mode='rgb', classes=None,
    class_mode='categorical', batch_size=32, shuffle=True, seed=None,
    save_to_dir=None, save_prefix='', save_format='png', follow_links=False,
    subset=None, interpolation='nearest'
)

Takes the path to a directory & generates batches of augmented data.

Arguments
directory	string, path to the target directory. It should contain one subdirectory per class. Any PNG, JPG, BMP, PPM or TIF images inside each of the subdirectories directory tree will be included in the generator. See this script for more details.
target_size	Tuple of integers (height, width), defaults to (256, 256). The dimensions to which all images found will be resized.
color_mode	One of "grayscale", "rgb", "rgba". Default: "rgb". Whether the images will be converted to have 1, 3, or 4 channels.
classes	Optional list of class subdirectories (e.g. ['dogs', 'cats']). Default: None. If not provided, the list of classes will be automatically inferred from the subdirectory names/structure under directory, where each subdirectory will be treated as a different class (and the order of the classes, which will map to the label indices, will be alphanumeric). The dictionary containing the mapping from class names to class indices can be obtained via the attribute class_indices.
class_mode	One of "categorical", "binary", "sparse", "input", or None. Default: "categorical". Determines the type of label arrays that are returned: - "categorical" will be 2D one-hot encoded labels, - "binary" will be 1D binary labels, "sparse" will be 1D integer labels, - "input" will be images identical to input images (mainly used to work with autoencoders). - If None, no labels are returned (the generator will only yield batches of image data, which is useful to use with model.predict_generator()). Please note that in case of class_mode None, the data still needs to reside in a subdirectory of directory for it to work correctly.
batch_size	Size of the batches of data (default: 32).
shuffle	Whether to shuffle the data (default: True) If set to False, sorts the data in alphanumeric order.
seed	Optional random seed for shuffling and transformations.
save_to_dir	None or str (default: None). This allows you to optionally specify a directory to which to save the augmented pictures being generated (useful for visualizing what you are doing).
save_prefix	Str. Prefix to use for filenames of saved pictures (only relevant if save_to_dir is set).
save_format	One of "png", "jpeg" (only relevant if save_to_dir is set). Default: "png".
follow_links	Whether to follow symlinks inside class subdirectories (default: False).
subset	Subset of data ("training" or "validation") if validation_split is set in ImageDataGenerator.
interpolation	Interpolation method used to resample the image if the target size is different from that of the loaded image. Supported methods are "nearest", "bilinear", and "bicubic". If PIL version 1.1.3 or newer is installed, "lanczos" is also supported. If PIL version 3.4.0 or newer is installed, "box" and "hamming" are also supported. By default, "nearest" is used.

Returns
A DirectoryIterator yielding tuples of (x, y) where x is a numpy array containing a batch of images with shape (batch_size, *target_size, channels) and y is a numpy array of corresponding labels.

get_random_transform

get_random_transform(
    img_shape, seed=None
)

Generates random parameters for a transformation.

Arguments

seed: Random seed.
img_shape: Tuple of integers.
    Shape of the image that is transformed.

Returns

A dictionary containing randomly chosen parameters describing the
transformation.

random_transform

random_transform(
    x, seed=None
)

Applies a random transformation to an image.

Arguments

x: 3D tensor, single image.
seed: Random seed.

Returns

A randomly transformed version of the input (same shape).

standardize

standardize(
    x
)

Applies the normalization configuration in-place to a batch of inputs.

x is changed in-place since the function is mainly used internally to standardize images and feed them to your network. If a copy of x would be created instead it would have a significant performance cost. If you want to apply this method without changing the input in-place you can call the method creating a copy before:

standardize(np.copy(x))

Arguments

x: Batch of inputs to be normalized.

Returns

The inputs, normalized.
