CoarseDropout augmentation (augmentations.dropout.coarse_dropout)

class CoarseDropout (max_holes=None, max_height=None, max_width=None, min_holes=None, min_height=None, min_width=None, fill_value=0, mask_fill_value=None, num_holes_range=(1, 1), hole_height_range=(8, 8), hole_width_range=(8, 8), always_apply=False, p=0.5) [view source on GitHub]

CoarseDropout randomly drops out rectangular regions from the image and optionally, the corresponding regions in an associated mask, to simulate the occlusion and varied object sizes found in real-world settings. This transformation is an evolution of CutOut and RandomErasing, offering more flexibility in the size, number of dropout regions, and fill values.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
num_holes_range Tuple[int, int]

Specifies the range (minimum and maximum) of the number of rectangular regions to zero out. This allows for dynamic variation in the number of regions removed per transformation instance.

hole_height_range Tuple[ScalarType, ScalarType]

Defines the minimum and maximum heights of the dropout regions, providing variability in their vertical dimensions.

hole_width_range Tuple[ScalarType, ScalarType]

Defines the minimum and maximum widths of the dropout regions, providing variability in their horizontal dimensions.

fill_value ColorType, Literal["random"]

Specifies the value used to fill the dropout regions. This can be a constant value, a tuple specifying pixel intensity across channels, or 'random' which fills the region with random noise.

mask_fill_value Optional[ColorType]

Specifies the fill value for dropout regions in the mask. If set to None, the mask regions corresponding to the image dropout regions are left unchanged.

Targets

image, mask, keypoints

Image types: uint8, float32
