SampleDistortedBoundingBox

Generate a single randomly distorted bounding box for an image.

Bounding box annotations are often supplied in addition to ground-truth labels in image recognition or object localization tasks. A common technique for training such a system is to randomly distort an image while preserving its content, i.e. data augmentation. This Op outputs a randomly distorted localization of an object, i.e. bounding box, given an `image_size`, `bounding_boxes` and a series of constraints.

The output of this Op is a single bounding box that may be used to crop the original image. The output is returned as 3 tensors: `begin`, `size` and `bboxes`. The first 2 tensors can be fed directly into tf.slice to crop the image. The latter may be supplied to tf.image.draw_bounding_boxes to visualize what the bounding box looks like.

Bounding boxes are supplied and returned as `[y_min, x_min, y_max, x_max]`. The bounding box coordinates are floats in `[0.0, 1.0]` relative to the width and height of the underlying image.

For example,

# Generate a single distorted bounding box.
     begin, size, bbox_for_draw = tf.image.sample_distorted_bounding_box(
         tf.shape(image),
         bounding_boxes=bounding_boxes)
 
     # Draw the bounding box in an image summary.
     image_with_box = tf.image.draw_bounding_boxes(tf.expand_dims(image, 0),
                                                   bbox_for_draw)
     tf.summary.image('images_with_box', image_with_box)
 
     # Employ the bounding box to distort the image.
     distorted_image = tf.slice(image, begin, size)
 

Note that if no bounding box information is available, setting `use_image_if_no_bounding_boxes = true` will assume there is a single implicit bounding box covering the whole image. If `use_image_if_no_bounding_boxes` is false and no bounding boxes are supplied, an error is raised.
