Documentation for TripletBinaryDataLayer #4

Closed gavinmh closed 8 years ago

gavinmh commented 8 years ago

Hello,

What is the format expected by the TripletBinaryDataLayer? From what I can tell, the only documentation for this layer is @brief Provides triplet data to the Net from binary files.

Thanks, Gavin

It requires a folder which is similar as expected by the ImageDataLayer, except that:

  1. there is a file named meta under that folder
  2. the folder consists of binary files instead of images

here is an example of the meta file

float32
32 64 112 112

The first line specify the data type of the binary files [only float32 supported in the current implementation] The second line is the shape of the data blob: batch size, channels, height, width.

In this case, each binary file contains 64 * 112 * 112 single float numbers.
