Keras split train test set when using ImageDataGenerator

I have a single directory which contains sub-folders (according to labels) of images. I want to split this data into train and test set while using ImageDataGenerator in Keras. Although model.fit() in keras has argument validation_split for specifying the split, I could not find the same for model.fit_generator(). How to do it ?

train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,
shear_range=0.2,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True)


train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
train_data_dir,
target_size=(img_width, img_height),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary')


model.fit_generator(
train_generator,
samples_per_epoch=nb_train_samples,
nb_epoch=nb_epoch,
validation_data=??,
nb_val_samples=nb_validation_samples)

I don't have separate directory for validation data, need to split it from the training data

I have a PR for it. One way is to hash the filenames and do a variant assignment.

Keras has now added Train / validation split from a single directory using ImageDataGenerator:

train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,
shear_range=0.2,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True,
validation_split=0.2) # set validation split


train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
train_data_dir,
target_size=(img_height, img_width),
batch_size=batch_size,
class_mode='binary',
subset='training') # set as training data


validation_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
train_data_dir, # same directory as training data
target_size=(img_height, img_width),
batch_size=batch_size,
class_mode='binary',
subset='validation') # set as validation data


model.fit_generator(
train_generator,
steps_per_epoch = train_generator.samples // batch_size,
validation_data = validation_generator,
validation_steps = validation_generator.samples // batch_size,
epochs = nb_epochs)

https://keras.io/preprocessing/image/

If we use subset in ImageDataGenerator then same augmentation will be applied to both training and validation. If you want to apply augmentation only on training set, you can split the folders using split-folders package which can be installed directly using pip.

https://pypi.org/project/split-folders/

This will separate the dataset into train, val and test directory and then you can create separate generator for each of them.

This is a simple tensorflow 2.0 code

from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator


def image_data_generator(data_dir,
data_augment=False,
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
target_size=(100, 100),
color_mode='rgb',
class_mode='binary',
shuffle=True):
if data_augment:
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,
rotation_range=20,
width_shift_range=0.2,
height_shift_range=0.2,
shear_range=0.2,
zoom_range=0.2,
validation_split=0.2,#this is the trick
horizontal_flip=True)
else:
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255)


generator = datagen.flow_from_directory(data_dir,
target_size=target_size,
color_mode=color_mode,
batch_size=batch_size,
shuffle=shuffle,
class_mode=class_mode)
return generator


train_generator = image_data_generator('Your_DataBase_Path',data_augment=True)

For example, you have folder like this

full_dataset
|--horse (40 images)
|--donkey (30 images)
|--cow ((50 images)
|--zebra (70 images)

FIRST WAY

image_generator = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1/255, validation_split=0.2)


train_dataset = image_generator.flow_from_directory(batch_size=32,
directory='full_dataset',
shuffle=True,
target_size=(280, 280),
subset="training",
class_mode='categorical')


validation_dataset = image_generator.flow_from_directory(batch_size=32,
directory='full_dataset',
shuffle=True,
target_size=(280, 280),
subset="validation",
class_mode='categorical')

SECOND WAY

import glob
horse = glob.glob('full_dataset/horse/*.*')
donkey = glob.glob('full_dataset/donkey/*.*')
cow = glob.glob('full_dataset/cow/*.*')
zebra = glob.glob('full_dataset/zebra/*.*')


data = []
labels = []


for i in horse:
image=tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(i, color_mode='RGB',
target_size= (280,280))
image=np.array(image)
data.append(image)
labels.append(0)
for i in donkey:
image=tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(i, color_mode='RGB',
target_size= (280,280))
image=np.array(image)
data.append(image)
labels.append(1)
for i in cow:
image=tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(i, color_mode='RGB',
target_size= (280,280))
image=np.array(image)
data.append(image)
labels.append(2)
for i in zebra:
image=tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(i, color_mode='RGB',
target_size= (280,280))
image=np.array(image)
data.append(image)
labels.append(3)


data = np.array(data)
labels = np.array(labels)


from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, ytrain, ytest = train_test_split(data, labels, test_size=0.2,
random_state=42)

Main drawback from First way, you can't use for display a picture. It will error if you write validation_dataset[1]. But it worked if I use first way : X_test[1]

if you want to use pre processing units of VGG16 model and split your dataset into 70% training and 30% validation just follow this approach:

train_path = 'your dataset path'
train_batch=
ImageDataGenerator(preprocessing_function=tf.keras.applications.vgg16.preprocess_input, validation_split=0.3) \
.flow_from_directory(directory=train_path, target_size=(,), classes=['',''], batch_size= ,class_mode='categorical', subset='training')
val_batch=
ImageDataGenerator(preprocessing_function=tf.keras.applications.vgg16.preprocess_input, validation_split=0.3) \
.flow_from_directory(directory=train_path, target_size=(,), classes=['',''], batch_size=, class_mode='categorical', subset='validation')

If you are using TensorFlow 2.x, you can use the same fit() function and use the parameter validation_split also for Image ImageDataGenerator

In case you are looking for train/validation split in generators for segmentation task, you can use the following snippet:

from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator


BATCH_SIZE = 16
val_fraction = 0.1
image_generator = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1/255,
brightness_range=[0.75, 1.75],
validation_split=val_fraction)


mask_generator = ImageDataGenerator(validation_split=val_fraction)


train_image_generator = image_generator.flow_from_dataframe(df_img,
directory=image_dir,
x_col='image',
class_mode=None,
color_mode='rgb',
target_size=(INPUT_SIZE, INPUT_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
shuffle=True,
subset='training',
seed=1)


train_mask_generator = mask_generator.flow_from_dataframe(df_gt,
directory=gt_dir,
x_col='mask',
color_mode='grayscale',
class_mode=None,
target_size=(INPUT_SIZE, INPUT_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
shuffle=True,
subset='training',
seed=1)


validation_image_generator = image_generator.flow_from_dataframe(df_img,
directory=image_dir,
x_col='image',
class_mode=None,
color_mode='rgb',
target_size=(INPUT_SIZE, INPUT_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
subset='validation',
seed=1)


validation_mask_generator = mask_generator.flow_from_dataframe(df_gt,
directory=gt_dir,
x_col='mask',
color_mode='grayscale',
class_mode=None,
target_size=(INPUT_SIZE, INPUT_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
subset='validation',
seed=1)


train_generator = zip(train_image_generator, train_mask_generator)
validation_generator = zip(validation_image_generator, validation_mask_generator)

With reference to this question https://github.com/keras-team/keras/issues/597 , you can use the following code to split the whole set into train and val:

train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,
rotation_range=20,
width_shift_range=0.2,
height_shift_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True
validation_split=0.2)  # val 20%


val_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255, validation_split=0.2)




train_data = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(train_path,
target_size=(224, 224),
color_mode='rgb',
batch_size=BS,
class_mode='categorical',
shuffle=True,
subset = 'training')


val_data = val_datagen.flow_from_directory(train_path,
target_size=(224, 224),
color_mode='rgb',
batch_size=BS,
class_mode='categorical',
shuffle=False,
subset = 'validation')

I don't know if you are still interested, but I found the following workaround. The most important function is GetTrainValidTestGeneratorFromDir, the other ones are just used by it. The basic idea is that you first divide the ImageDataGenerator by two using validation_split. By means of this you will get two iterators. You can use the second one as the test iterator. You will further divide the first one in the following way: First use flow_from_directory using training subset (so you can be sure that test data are excluded). Now you can use the same generator to get two divided dataframes and then you can use flow_from_dataframe function. You will get three ImageDataIterators without changing the folders

If you simply want to divide the dataset for training and validation (without any augmentation, etc.)

from tensorflow.keras.applications.xception import preprocess_input
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator


ds_gen = ImageDataGenerator(
preprocessing_function=preprocess_input,
validation_split=0.2
)


train_ds = ds_gen.flow_from_directory(
"/path/to/dataset",
seed=1,
target_size=(150, 150), #adjust to your needs
batch_size=32,#adjust to your needs
class_mode='categorical',
subset='training'
)


val_ds = ds_gen.flow_from_directory(
"/path/to/dataset",
seed=1,
target_size=(150, 150),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical',
subset='validation'
)




Here is the answer:

data_path = 'path/to/dir'
data_gen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,  validation_split=0.3)


train_data = data_gen.flow_from_directory(directory=data_path,target_size=img_size, batch_size=batch_size, subset='training', seed=42, class_mode='binary'  )
test_data = data_gen.flow_from_directory(directory=data_path,target_size=img_size, batch_size=batch_size, subset='validation', seed=42, class_mode='binary' )

Note that, starting from TF 2.9, the ImageDataGenerator() has been deprecated in favour of tf.keras.utils.image_dataset_from_directory() which achieves the same functionality.

It is highly likely that the former will be removed altogether in the upcoming TF versions.

Deprecated: tf.keras.preprocessing.image.ImageDataGenerator is not recommended for new code. Prefer loading images with tf.keras.utils.image_dataset_from_directory and transforming the output tf.data.Dataset with preprocessing layers. For more information, see the tutorials for loading images and augmenting images, as well as the preprocessing layer guide.
