Generate batches of tensor image data with real-time data augmentation.

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 implied 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.

    Returns

    A transformed version of the input (same shape).
    

    fit

    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

    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.
    

    flow_from_dataframe

    classes: optional list of classes (e.g. `['dogs', 'cats']`).
        Default: 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",

        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`.

        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.
        Default: `True`.
    

    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)`

        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`.

        - "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,

        (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).

        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

    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

    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

    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.
