image_converter(
  input,
  channels = NA,
  dataset = NA,
  height = NA,
  quality = NA,
  save = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  width = NA
)

Arguments

input

Image filenames which have to be loaded/saved (character vector).

channels

Number of channels in the image. Default value "0" (integer).

dataset

Input matrix to save as images (numeric matrix).

height

Details

This utility takes an image or an array of images and loads them to a matrix. You can optionally specify the height "height" width "width" and channel "channels" of the images that needs to be loaded; otherwise, these parameters will be automatically detected from the image. There are other options too, that can be specified such as "quality".

You can also provide a dataset and save them as images using "dataset" and "save" as an parameter.

# NOT RUN {
output <- image_converter(input=X, height=256, width=256, channels=3)
Y <- output$output
# }
# NOT RUN {
#  An example to save an image is :

# }
# NOT RUN {
image_converter(input=X, height=256, width=256, channels=3, dataset=Y,
