Data Preprocessing

Manage and preprocess image data for deep learning

Preprocessing image data to ensure that it is in a format that the network can accept is a common first step in deep learning workflows. For example, you can resize image input to match the size of an image input layer. You can also preprocess data to enhance desired features or reduce artifacts that can bias the network. For example, you can normalize or remove noise from input data.

You can preprocess image input with operations such as resizing by using datastores and functions available in MATLAB® and Deep Learning Toolbox™. Other MATLAB toolboxes offer functions, datastores, and apps for labeling, processing, and augmenting deep learning data. Use specialized tools from other MATLAB toolboxes to process data for domains such as image processing, object detection, and semantic segmentation.
