Write an image summary.
tf.summary.image(
name, data, step=None, max_outputs=3, description=None
)
See also tf.summary.scalar
, tf.summary.SummaryWriter
.
Writes a collection of images to the current default summary writer. Data
appears in TensorBoard's 'Images' dashboard. Like tf.summary.scalar
points,
each collection of images is associated with a step
and a name
. All the
image collections with the same name
constitute a time series of image
collections.
This example writes 2 random grayscale images:
w = tf.summary.create_file_writer('test/logs')
with w.as_default():
image1 = tf.random.uniform(shape=[8, 8, 1])
image2 = tf.random.uniform(shape=[8, 8, 1])
tf.summary.image("grayscale_noise", [image1, image2], step=0)
To avoid clipping, data should be converted to one of the following:
- floating point values in the range [0,1], or
- uint8 values in the range [0,255]
# Convert the original dtype=int32 `Tensor` into `dtype=float64`.
rgb_image_float = tf.constant([
[[1000, 0, 0], [0, 500, 1000]],
]) / 1000
tf.summary.image("picture", [rgb_image_float], step=0)
# Convert original dtype=uint8 `Tensor` into proper range.
rgb_image_uint8 = tf.constant([
[[1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]],
], dtype=tf.uint8) * 255
tf.summary.image("picture", [rgb_image_uint8], step=1)
Arguments | |
---|---|
name
|
A name for this summary. The summary tag used for TensorBoard will be this name prefixed by any active name scopes. |
data
|
A Tensor representing pixel data with shape [k, h, w, c] ,
where k is the number of images, h and w are the height and
width of the images, and c is the number of channels, which
should be 1, 2, 3, or 4 (grayscale, grayscale with alpha, RGB, RGBA).
Any of the dimensions may be statically unknown (i.e., None ).
Floating point data will be clipped to the range [0,1]. Other data types
will be clipped into an allowed range for safe casting to uint8, using
tf.image.convert_image_dtype .
|
step
|
Explicit int64 -castable monotonic step value for this summary. If
omitted, this defaults to tf.summary.experimental.get_step() , which must
not be None.
|
max_outputs
|
Optional int or rank-0 integer Tensor . At most this
many images will be emitted at each step. When more than
max_outputs many images are provided, the first max_outputs many
images will be used and the rest silently discarded.
|
description
|
Optional long-form description for this summary, as a
constant str . Markdown is supported. Defaults to empty.
|
Returns | |
---|---|
True on success, or false if no summary was emitted because no default summary writer was available. |
Raises | |
---|---|
ValueError
|
if a default writer exists, but no step was provided and
tf.summary.experimental.get_step() is None.
