pytorch中DataLoader()过程中遇到的一些问题

如下所示：

RuntimeError: stack expects each tensor to be equal size, but got [3, 60, 32] at entry 0 and [3, 54, 32] at entry 2

train_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(
    traindir,
    transforms.Compose([
        transforms.Resize((224)) ###

原因是

transforms.Resize() 的参数设置问题，改为如下设置就可以了

train_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(
    traindir,
    transforms.Compose([
        transforms.Resize((224,224)),

同理，val_dataset中也调整为transforms.Resize((224,224))。

补充：pytorch之dataloader深入剖析

- dataloader本质是一个可迭代对象，使用iter()访问，不能使用next()访问；

- 使用iter(dataloader)返回的是一个迭代器，然后可以使用next访问；

- 也可以使用`for inputs, labels in dataloaders`进行可迭代对象的访问；

- 一般我们实现一个datasets对象，传入到dataloader中；然后内部使用yeild返回每一次batch的数据；

① DataLoader本质上就是一个iterable（跟python的内置类型list等一样），并利用多进程来加速batch data的处理，使用yield来使用有限的内存 ​

② Queue的特点

当队列里面没有数据时： queue.get() 会阻塞， 阻塞的时候，其它进程/线程如果有queue.put() 操作，本线程/进程会被通知，然后就可以 get 成功。

当数据满了: queue.put() 会阻塞

③ DataLoader是一个高效，简洁，直观的网络输入数据结构，便于使用和扩展

输入数据PipeLine

pytorch 的数据加载到模型的操作顺序是这样的：

① 创建一个 Dataset 对象

② 创建一个 DataLoader 对象

③ 循环这个 DataLoader 对象，将img, label加载到模型中进行训练

dataset = MyDataset()
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset)
num_epoches = 100
for epoch in range(num_epoches):
for img, label in dataloader:
....

所以，作为直接对数据进入模型中的关键一步， DataLoader非常重要。

首先简单介绍一下DataLoader，它是PyTorch中数据读取的一个重要接口，该接口定义在dataloader.py中，只要是用PyTorch来训练模型基本都会用到该接口（除非用户重写…），该接口的目的：将自定义的Dataset根据batch size大小、是否shuffle等封装成一个Batch Size大小的Tensor，用于后面的训练。

官方对DataLoader的说明是：“数据加载由数据集和采样器组成，基于python的单、多进程的iterators来处理数据。”关于iterator和iterable的区别和概念请自行查阅，在实现中的差别就是iterators有__iter__和__next__方法，而iterable只有__iter__方法。

1.DataLoader

先介绍一下DataLoader(object)的参数：

dataset(Dataset): 传入的数据集

batch_size(int, optional): 每个batch有多少个样本

shuffle(bool, optional): 在每个epoch开始的时候，对数据进行重新排序

sampler(Sampler, optional): 自定义从数据集中取样本的策略，如果指定这个参数，那么shuffle必须为False

batch_sampler(Sampler, optional): 与sampler类似，但是一次只返回一个batch的indices（索引），需要注意的是，一旦指定了这个参数，那么batch_size,shuffle,sampler,drop_last就不能再制定了（互斥——Mutually exclusive）

num_workers (int, optional): 这个参数决定了有几个进程来处理data loading。0意味着所有的数据都会被load进主进程。（默认为0）

collate_fn (callable, optional): 将一个list的sample组成一个mini-batch的函数

pin_memory (bool, optional)： 如果设置为True，那么data loader将会在返回它们之前，将tensors拷贝到CUDA中的固定内存（CUDA pinned memory）中.

drop_last (bool, optional): 如果设置为True：这个是对最后的未完成的batch来说的，比如你的batch_size设置为64，而一个epoch只有100个样本，那么训练的时候后面的36个就被扔掉了…

如果为False（默认），那么会继续正常执行，只是最后的batch_size会小一点。

timeout(numeric, optional): 如果是正数，表明等待从worker进程中收集一个batch等待的时间，若超出设定的时间还没有收集到，那就不收集这个内容了。这个numeric应总是大于等于0。默认为0

worker_init_fn (callable, optional): 每个worker初始化函数 If not None, this will be called on each

worker subprocess with the worker id (an int in [0, num_workers - 1]) as
input, after seeding and before data loading. (default: None)

- 首先dataloader初始化时得到datasets的采样list

class DataLoader(object):
    r"""
    Data loader. Combines a dataset and a sampler, and provides
    single- or multi-process iterators over the dataset.
    Arguments:
        dataset (Dataset): dataset from which to load the data.
        batch_size (int, optional): how many samples per batch to load
            (default: 1).
        shuffle (bool, optional): set to ``True`` to have the data reshuffled
            at every epoch (default: False).
        sampler (Sampler, optional): defines the strategy to draw samples from
            the dataset. If specified, ``shuffle`` must be False.
        batch_sampler (Sampler, optional): like sampler, but returns a batch of
            indices at a time. Mutually exclusive with batch_size, shuffle,
            sampler, and drop_last.
        num_workers (int, optional): how many subprocesses to use for data
            loading. 0 means that the data will be loaded in the main process.
            (default: 0)
        collate_fn (callable, optional): merges a list of samples to form a mini-batch.
        pin_memory (bool, optional): If ``True``, the data loader will copy tensors
            into CUDA pinned memory before returning them.
        drop_last (bool, optional): set to ``True`` to drop the last incomplete batch,
            if the dataset size is not divisible by the batch size. If ``False`` and
            the size of dataset is not divisible by the batch size, then the last batch
            will be smaller. (default: False)
        timeout (numeric, optional): if positive, the timeout value for collecting a batch
            from workers. Should always be non-negative. (default: 0)
        worker_init_fn (callable, optional): If not None, this will be called on each
            worker subprocess with the worker id (an int in ``[0, num_workers - 1]``) as
            input, after seeding and before data loading. (default: None)
    .. note:: By default, each worker will have its PyTorch seed set to
              ``base_seed + worker_id``, where ``base_seed`` is a long generated
              by main process using its RNG. However, seeds for other libraies
              may be duplicated upon initializing workers (w.g., NumPy), causing
              each worker to return identical random numbers. (See
              :ref:`dataloader-workers-random-seed` section in FAQ.) You may
              use ``torch.initial_seed()`` to access the PyTorch seed for each
              worker in :attr:`worker_init_fn`, and use it to set other seeds
              before data loading.
    .. warning:: If ``spawn`` start method is used, :attr:`worker_init_fn` cannot be an
                 unpicklable object, e.g., a lambda function.

- 其中 _DataLoaderIter(self)输入为一个dataloader对象；如果num_workers=0很好理解，num_workers！=0引入多线程机制，加速数据加载过程；

- 没有多线程时：batch = self.collate_fn([self.dataset[i] for i in indices])进行将index转化为data数据，返回(image,label);self.dataset[i]会调用datasets对象的

__getitem__()方法

- 多线程下，会为每个线程创建一个索引队列index_queues；共享一个worker_result_queue数据队列！在_worker_loop方法中加载数据；
