"""
Writing Custom Datasets, DataLoaders and Transforms
===================================================
**Author**: `Sasank Chilamkurthy <https://chsasank.github.io>`_

A lot of effort in solving any machine learning problem goes in to
preparing the data. PyTorch provides many tools to make data loading
easy and hopefully, to make your code more readable. In this tutorial,
we will see how to load and preprocess/augment data from a non trivial
dataset.

To run this tutorial, please make sure the following packages are
installed:

-  ``scikit-image``: For image io and transforms
-  ``pandas``: For easier csv parsing

# The dataset we are going to deal with is that of facial pose.
# This means that a face is annotated like this:
#
# .. figure:: /_static/img/landmarked_face2.png
#    :width: 400
#
# Over all, 68 different landmark points are annotated for each face.
#
# .. note::
#     Download the dataset from `here <https://download.pytorch.org/tutorial/faces.zip>`_
#     so that the images are in a directory named 'data/faces/'.
#     This dataset was actually
#     generated by applying excellent `dlib's pose
#     estimation <https://blog.dlib.net/2014/08/real-time-face-pose-estimation.html>`__
#     on a few images from imagenet tagged as 'face'.
#
# Dataset comes with a csv file with annotations which looks like this:
#
# ::
#
#     image_name,part_0_x,part_0_y,part_1_x,part_1_y,part_2_x, ... ,part_67_x,part_67_y

#     1084239450_e76e00b7e7.jpg,70,236,71,257, ... ,128,312

# is the number of landmarks.

# Dataset class
# -------------
#
# ``torch.utils.data.Dataset`` is an abstract class representing a
# dataset.
# Your custom dataset should inherit ``Dataset`` and override the following
# methods:
#
# -  ``__len__`` so that ``len(dataset)`` returns the size of the dataset.
# -  ``__getitem__`` to support the indexing such that ``dataset[i]`` can
#    be used to get :math:`i`\ th sample
#
# Let's create a dataset class for our face landmarks dataset. We will
# read the csv in ``__init__`` but leave the reading of images to
# ``__getitem__``. This is memory efficient because all the images are not
# stored in the memory at once but read as required.
#
# Sample of our dataset will be a dict
# ``{'image': image, 'landmarks': landmarks}``. Our dataset will take an
# optional argument ``transform`` so that any required processing can be
# applied on the sample. We will see the usefulness of ``transform`` in the
# next section.

# Transforms
# ----------
#
# One issue we can see from the above is that the samples are not of the
# same size. Most neural networks expect the images of a fixed size.
# Therefore, we will need to write some prepocessing code.
# Let's create three transforms:
#
# -  ``Rescale``: to scale the image
# -  ``RandomCrop``: to crop from image randomly. This is data
#    augmentation.
# -  ``ToTensor``: to convert the numpy images to torch images (we need to
#    swap axes).
#
# We will write them as callable classes instead of simple functions so
# that parameters of the transform need not be passed everytime it's
# called. For this, we just need to implement ``__call__`` method and
# if required, ``__init__`` method. We can then use a transform like this:
#
# ::
#
#     tsfm = Transform(params)
#     transformed_sample = tsfm(sample)
#
# Observe below how these transforms had to be applied both on the image and
# landmarks.

# Afterword: torchvision
# ----------------------
#
# In this tutorial, we have seen how to write and use datasets, transforms
# and dataloader. ``torchvision`` package provides some common datasets and
# transforms. You might not even have to write custom classes. One of the
# more generic datasets available in torchvision is ``ImageFolder``.
# It assumes that images are organized in the following way: ::
#
#     root/ants/xxx.png
#     root/ants/xxy.jpeg
#     root/ants/xxz.png
#     .
#     .
#     .
#     root/bees/123.jpg
#     root/bees/nsdf3.png
#     root/bees/asd932_.png
#
# where 'ants', 'bees' etc. are class labels. Similarly generic transforms
# which operate on ``PIL.Image`` like  ``RandomHorizontalFlip``, ``Scale``,
# are also available. You can use these to write a dataloader like this: ::
#
#   import torch
#   from torchvision import transforms, datasets
#
#   data_transform = transforms.Compose([
#           transforms.RandomSizedCrop(224),
#           transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
#           transforms.ToTensor(),
#           transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
#                                std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
#       ])
#   hymenoptera_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(root='hymenoptera_data/train',
#                                              transform=data_transform)
#   dataset_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(hymenoptera_dataset,
#                                                batch_size=4, shuffle=True,
#                                                num_workers=4)
#
# For an example with training code, please see
# :doc:`transfer_learning_tutorial`.
