tf.image.crop_and_resize()

tf.image.crop_and_resize(image, boxes, box_ind, crop_size, method=None, extrapolation_value=None, name=None)

Extracts crops from the input image tensor and bilinearly resizes them (possibly

with aspect ratio change) to a common output size specified by crop_size. This is more general than the crop_to_bounding_box op which extracts a fixed size slice from the input image and does not allow resizing or aspect ratio change.

Returns a tensor with crops from the input image at positions defined at the bounding box locations in boxes. The cropped boxes are all resized (with bilinear interpolation) to a fixed size = [crop_height, crop_width]. The result is a 4-D tensor [num_boxes, crop_height, crop_width, depth].

Args:

• image: A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: uint8, int8, int16, int32, int64, half, float32, float64. A 4-D tensor of shape [batch, image_height, image_width, depth]. Both image_height and image_width need to be positive.
• boxes: A Tensor of type float32. A 2-D tensor of shape [num_boxes, 4]. The i-th row of the tensor specifies the coordinates of a box in the box_ind[i] image and is specified in normalized coordinates [y1, x1, y2, x2]. A normalized coordinate value of y is mapped to the image coordinate at y * (image_height - 1), so as the [0, 1] interval of normalized image height is mapped to [0, image_height - 1] in image height coordinates. We do allow y1 > y2, in which case the sampled crop is an up-down flipped version of the original image. The width dimension is treated similarly. Normalized coordinates outside the[0, 1]range are allowed, in which case we useextrapolation_value` to extrapolate the input image values.
• box_ind: A Tensor of type int32. A 1-D tensor of shape [num_boxes] with int32 values in [0, batch). The value of box_ind[i] specifies the image that the i-th box refers to.
• crop_size: A Tensor of type int32. A 1-D tensor of 2 elements, size = [crop_height, crop_width]. All cropped image patches are resized to this size. The aspect ratio of the image content is not preserved. Both crop_height and crop_width need to be positive.
• method: An optional string from: "bilinear". Defaults to "bilinear". A string specifying the interpolation method. Only 'bilinear' is supported for now.
• extrapolation_value: An optional float. Defaults to 0. Value used for extrapolation, when applicable.
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A Tensor of type float32. A 4-D tensor of shape [num_boxes, crop_height, crop_width, depth].
