DMVR is a library providing a framework for easily reading raw data and
producing tf.data.Dataset objects ready to be consumed by models.
The main idea of the framework is to build a customizable and reusable data processing graph that when applied to raw data files, will produce final dataset objects. Building blocks called Builders are used to interact with the graph by adding, removing or replacing data processing blocks.
Dataset providers can write a Factory with a default data processing graph for
each dataset. Dataset consumers can customize the graph to their needs either by
creating a child Factory or just appending a given instance. Factory objects
expose instances of Builders allowing control of the multiple phases of the data
processing graph. The Factory is then able to generate tf.data.Dataset
objects.
The data processing graph is split in multipple phases. This abstraction is purely semantic, which makes code easier to reuse. The phases are:
In order to easily add different modalities to the dataset from the raw data, sub graphs for some modalities with default processing (e.g. sample, decode and crop for images) is provided. These sub graphs can be added by simply calling the corresponding methods for the Builders.
Dataset providers should implement a factory populating the default graph.
Example:
tf.train.SequenceExample objects.from typing import List
from dmvr import modalities
from dmvr import video_dataset
class Kinetics700Factory(video_dataset.BaseVideoDatasetFactory):
_NUM_CLASSES = 700
def __init__(self, subset: str):
self._is_training = subset == 'train'
shards: List[str] = path_to_the_data(subset)
super().__init__(shards)
def _build(self,
# Video related parameters.
num_frames: int = 32,
stride: int = 1,
num_test_clips: int = 1,
min_resize: int = 224,
crop_size: int = 200,
zero_centering_image: bool = False,
# Label related parameters.
one_hot_label: bool = True,
add_label_name: bool = False):

modalities.add_image(parser_builder=self.parser_builder,

Example:
factory = Kinetics700Factory('train')
factory.configure(num_frames=16)
ds = factory.make_dataset(batch_size=8)The user can also customize the data processing graph by adding more functions:
from dmvr import builders
from dmvr import processors
factory = Kinetics700Factory('train')
factory.configure(num_frames=16)
factory.preprocess_builder.add_fn(processors.scale_jitter_augm,
feature_name=builders.IMAGE_FEATURE_NAME)
factory.preprocess_builder.add_fn(processors.color_default_augm,
feature_name=builders.IMAGE_FEATURE_NAME)
ds = factory.make_dataset(batch_size=8)DMVR can be installed with pip directly from github, with the following command:
pip install git+git://github.com/deepmind/dmvr.git
Python 3.9+ is required in order for all features to be available.
