ultralytics.data.dataset.ClassificationDataset

ClassificationDataset(root, args, augment=False, prefix='')

Extends torchvision ImageFolder to support YOLO classification tasks, offering functionalities like image augmentation, caching, and verification. It's designed to efficiently handle large datasets for training deep learning models, with optional image transformations and caching mechanisms to speed up training.

This class allows for augmentations using both torchvision and Albumentations libraries, and supports caching images in RAM or on disk to reduce IO overhead during training. Additionally, it implements a robust verification process to ensure data integrity and consistency.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
cache_ram bool

Indicates if caching in RAM is enabled.

cache_disk bool

Indicates if caching on disk is enabled.

samples list

A list of tuples, each containing the path to an image, its class index, path to its .npy cache file (if caching on disk), and optionally the loaded image array (if caching in RAM).

torch_transforms callable

PyTorch transforms to be applied to the images.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
root str

Path to the dataset directory where images are stored in a class-specific folder structure.

required
args Namespace

Configuration containing dataset-related settings such as image size, augmentation parameters, and cache settings. It includes attributes like imgsz (image size), fraction (fraction of data to use), scale, fliplr, flipud, cache (disk or RAM caching for faster training), auto_augment, hsv_h, hsv_s, hsv_v, and crop_fraction.

required
augment bool

Whether to apply augmentations to the dataset. Default is False.

False
prefix str

Prefix for logging and cache filenames, aiding in dataset identification and debugging. Default is an empty string.
