ImageEstimatorsCatalog.LoadRawImageBytes Method

Definition

Create a ImageLoadingEstimator, which loads the data from the column specified in inputColumnName as an image of raw bytes to a new column: outputColumnName.

public static Microsoft.ML.Data.ImageLoadingEstimator LoadRawImageBytes (this Microsoft.ML.TransformsCatalog catalog, string outputColumnName, string imageFolder, string inputColumnName = default);
static member LoadRawImageBytes : Microsoft.ML.TransformsCatalog * string * string * string -> Microsoft.ML.Data.ImageLoadingEstimator
<Extension()>
Public Function LoadRawImageBytes (catalog As TransformsCatalog, outputColumnName As String, imageFolder As String, Optional inputColumnName As String = Nothing) As ImageLoadingEstimator

Parameters

catalog
TransformsCatalog

The transform's catalog.

outputColumnName
String

Name of the column resulting from the transformation of inputColumnName. This column's data type will be VectorDataViewType.

imageFolder
String

Folder where to look for images.

inputColumnName
String

Name of the column with paths to the images to load. This estimator operates over text data.

Returns
