partition

Partition a label datastore

Description

example

subds = partition(ds,N,index) partitions a datastore ds into N parts and returns the partition corresponding to index.

subds = partition(ds,'Files',fileIndex) partitions the PixelLabelDatastore or pixelLabelImageDatastore by files. The partitioned datastore corresponds to the index in the Files property of the datastore.

subds = partition(ds,'Files',filename) partitions the PixelLabelDatastore or pixelLabelImageDatastore by files. The partitioned datastore corresponds to the file specified by filename.

Examples

collapse all

Load training data that contains bounding boxes with labels for vehicles.

data = load('vehicleTrainingData.mat');
trainingData = data.vehicleTrainingData;
blds = boxLabelDatastore(trainingData(:,2:end));

Use the partition function to partition the box label datastore. The output contains the first 5 rows of the training data.

subds = partition(blds,59,5);

Read the data. Use the hasdata function to check for data.

while hasdata(subds)
      % Read one row of box labels at a time
      bxLabels = read(subds);
end

Input Arguments

collapse all

Datastore with labeled data for training a semantic segmentation network or an object detection network, specified as a pixelLabelDatastore, pixelLabelImageDatastore, or boxLabelDatastore object.

Number of partitions to divide datastore, specified as a positive integer. To obtain an estimate for a reasonable number of partitions, use the numpartitions function.

numWorkers = 3;
p = parpool('local',numWorkers);
n = numpartitions(ds,p);

parfor ii=1:n
    subds = partition(ds,n,ii);
    while hasdata(subds)
        data = read(subds);
    end
end

Example: 3

Data Types: double

Index, specified as an integer. The index points to a partitioned datastore of the N number of partitioned datastores.

Example: 1

Data Types: double

File index of a file stored within the Files property of a pixelLabelDatastore or pixelLabelImageDatastore, specified as a positive integer.

Example: 1

Data Types: double

File name, specified as a character vector.

Example: 'file1.csv'

Example: '../dir/data/file1.csv'

Example: 'hdfs://myserver:7867/data/file1.txt'

Data Types: char

Output Arguments

collapse all

Output datastore, returned as a datastore object. The output datastore is of the same type as the input datastore, ds.
