tensorpack.utils package

tensorpack.utils.argtools module

tensorpack.utils.argtools.map_arg(**maps)

Apply a mapping on certain argument before calling the original function.

Parameters:maps (dict) – {argument_name: map_func}

tensorpack.utils.argtools.memoized(user_function)

Alias to functools.lru_cache() WARNING: memoization will keep keys and values alive!

tensorpack.utils.argtools.memoized_method(func)

A decorator that performs memoization on methods. It stores the cache on the object instance itself.

tensorpack.utils.argtools.graph_memoized(func)

Like memoized, but keep one cache per default graph.

tensorpack.utils.argtools.shape2d(a)

Ensure a 2D shape.

Parameters:a – a int or tuple/list of length 2 Returns:list – of length 2. if a is a int, return [a, a].

tensorpack.utils.argtools.shape4d(a, data_format='channels_last')

Ensuer a 4D shape, to use with 4D symbolic functions.

Parameters:a – a int or tuple/list of length 2 Returns:list –

of length 4. if a is a int, return [1, a, a, 1]

or [1, 1, a, a] depending on data_format.

tensorpack.utils.argtools.memoized_ignoreargs(func)

A decorator. It performs memoization ignoring the arguments used to call the function.

tensorpack.utils.argtools.log_once

Log certain message only once. Call this function more than one times with the same message will result in no-op.

Parameters:

• message (str) – message to log

• func (str) – the name of the logger method. e.g. “info”, “warn”, “error”.

tensorpack.utils.argtools.call_only_once(func)

Decorate a method or property of a class, so that this method can only be called once for every instance. Calling it more than once will result in exception.

tensorpack.utils.concurrency module

class tensorpack.utils.concurrency.StoppableThread(evt=None)

Bases: threading.Thread

A thread that has a ‘stop’ event.

__init__(evt=None)

Parameters:evt (threading.Event) – if None, will create one.

queue_get_stoppable(q)

Take obj from queue, but will give up when the thread is stopped

queue_put_stoppable(q, obj)

Put obj to queue, but will give up when the thread is stopped

A pausable thread that simply runs a loop

__init__(func, pausable=True)

Parameters:func – the function to run

pause()

Pause the loop

resume()

Resume the loop

run()

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.

class tensorpack.utils.concurrency.ShareSessionThread(th=None)

Bases: threading.Thread

A wrapper around thread so that the thread uses the default session at “start()” time.

__init__(th=None)

Parameters:th (threading.Thread or None) –

default_sess()

run()

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.

start()

Start the thread’s activity.

It must be called at most once per thread object. It arranges for the object’s run() method to be invoked in a separate thread of control.

This method will raise a RuntimeError if called more than once on the same thread object.

tensorpack.utils.concurrency.ensure_proc_terminate(proc)

tensorpack.utils.logger module

The logger module itself has the common logging functions of Python’s logging.Logger. For example:

logger.set_logger_dir('train_log/test')
logger.info("Test")
logger.error("Error happened!")

tensorpack.utils.logger.set_logger_dir(dirname, action=None)

Set the directory for global logging.

Parameters:

• dirname (str) – log directory

• action (str) –

  an action of [“k”,”d”,”q”] to be performed when the directory exists. Will ask user by default.

  ”k”: keep the directory. This is useful when you resume from a previous training and want the directory to look as if the training was not interrupted. Note that this option does not load old models or any other old states for you. It simply does nothing.

tensorpack.utils.logger.auto_set_dir(action=None, name=None)

tensorpack.utils.viz.stack_patches(patch_list, nr_row, nr_col, border=None, pad=False, bgcolor=255, viz=False, lclick_cb=None)

Stacked patches into grid, to produce visualizations like the following:

Parameters:

• patch_list (list[ndarray] or ndarray) – NHW or NHWC images in [0,255].

• nr_row (int), nr_col(int) – rows and cols of the grid. nr_col * nr_row must be no less than len(patch_list).

• border (int) – border length between images. Defaults to 0.05 * min(patch_width, patch_height).

• pad (boolean) – when patch_list is a list, pad all patches to the maximum height and width. This option allows stacking patches of different shapes together.

• bgcolor (int or 3-tuple) – background color in [0, 255]. Either an int or a BGR tuple.

• viz (bool) – whether to use interactive_imshow() to visualize the results.

• lclick_cb – A callback function f(patch, patch index in patch_list) to get called when a patch get clicked in imshow.

Returns:

np.ndarray – the stacked image.

tensorpack.utils.viz.gen_stack_patches(patch_list, nr_row=None, nr_col=None, border=None, max_width=1000, max_height=1000, bgcolor=255, viz=False, lclick_cb=None)

Similar to stack_patches() but with a generator interface. It takes a much-longer list and yields stacked results one by one. For example, if patch_list contains 1000 images and nr_row==nr_col==10, this generator yields 10 stacked images.

Parameters:

• nr_row (int), nr_col(int) – rows and cols of each result.

• max_width (int), max_height(int) – Maximum allowed size of the stacked image. If nr_row/nr_col are None, this number will be used to infer the rows and cols. Otherwise the option is ignored.

• border, viz, lclick_cb (patch_list,) – same as in stack_patches().

Yields:

np.ndarray – the stacked image.

tensorpack.utils.viz.dump_dataflow_images(df, index=0, batched=True, number=1000, output_dir=None, scale=1, resize=None, viz=None, flipRGB=False)

• index (int) – the index of the image component.

• batched (bool) – whether the component contains batched images (NHW or NHWC) or not (HW or HWC).

• number (int) – how many datapoint to take from the DataFlow.

• output_dir (str) – output directory to save images, default to not save.

• scale (float) – scale the value, usually either 1 or 255.

• resize (tuple or None) – tuple of (h, w) to resize the images to.

• viz (tuple or None) – tuple of (h, w) determining the grid size to use with gen_stack_patches() for visualization. No visualization will happen by default.

• flipRGB (bool) – apply a RGB<->BGR conversion or not.
