Image tagging helps in selecting images based on content, especially useful in search engines and other similar applications. Here, we tag images based on the weather of the scene. There are two classes - cloudy, sunny.

# Loading the dataset

path = 'weather/'
input_shape = (256, 256, 3)    # default input shape while loading the images

batch = 64

# The train and test datasets
print("Train dataset")
train_ds = preprocessing.image_dataset_from_directory(path+'train', batch_size=batch, label_mode='binary')

print("Test dataset")
test_ds = preprocessing.image_dataset_from_directory(path+'test', batch_size=batch, label_mode='binary')

Train dataset
Found 10000 files belonging to 2 classes.
Test dataset
Found 253 files belonging to 2 classes.

# How many samples in each class

for t in ['train', 'test']:
    print('\n', t.upper())
    for x in os.listdir(path + t):
        print(x, ' - ', len(os.listdir(path + t + '/' + x)))

 TRAIN
sunny  -  5000
cloudy  -  5000

 TEST
sunny  -  153
cloudy  -  100

The train set is balanced while the test set is imbalanced. A confusion matrix can help in finding the accuracies.

# Looking into the class labels

class_names = train_ds.class_names

print("Train class names: ", train_ds.class_names)
print("Test class names: ", test_ds.class_names)

Train class names:  ['cloudy', 'sunny']
Test class names:  ['cloudy', 'sunny']

Visualization

num_samples = 4    # the number of samples to be displayed in each class

for x in class_names:
    plt.figure(figsize=(20, 20))

    filenames = os.listdir(path + 'train/' + x)

    for i in range(num_samples):
        ax = plt.subplot(1, num_samples, i + 1)
        img = Image.open(path +'train/' + x + '/' + filenames[i])
        plt.imshow(img)
        plt.title(x)
        plt.axis("off")
