microsoftml.extract_pixels: Extracts pixels from an image

Usage

microsoftml.extract_pixels(cols: [str, dict, list],
    use_alpha: bool = False, use_red: bool = True,
    use_green: bool = True, use_blue: bool = True,
    interleave_argb: bool = False, convert: bool = True,
    offset: float = None, scale: float = None, **kargs)

Description

Extracts the pixel values from an image.

Details

extract_pixels extracts the pixel values from an image. The input variables are images of the same size, typically the output of a resizeImage transform. The output is pixel data in vector form that are typically used as features for a learner.

Arguments

cols

A character string or list of variable names to transform. If dict, the keys represent the names of new variables to be created.

use_alpha

Specifies whether to use alpha channel. The default value is False.

use_red

Specifies whether to use red channel. The default value is True.

use_green

Specifies whether to use green channel. The default value is True.

use_blue

Specifies whether to use blue channel. The default value is True.

interleave_argb

Whether to separate each channel or interleave in ARGB order. This might be important, for example, if you are training a convolutional neural network, since this would affect the shape of the kernel, stride etc.

convert

Whether to convert to floating point. The default value is False.

offset

Specifies the offset (pre-scale). This requires convert = True. The default value is None.

scale

Specifies the scale factor. This requires convert = True. The default value is None.

kargs

Additional arguments sent to compute engine.

Returns

An object defining the transform.
