tensorflow image_resize mess up image on unknown image size

Question

I have a list of variable size image and wish to standardise them into 256x256 size. I used the following code

import tensorflow as tf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

file_contents = tf.read_file('image.jpg')
im = tf.image.decode_jpeg(file_contents)
im = tf.image.resize_images(im, 256, 256)

sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(tf.initialize_all_variables())

img = sess.run(im)

plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()

However, tf.resize_images() tend to mess up the image. However, using tf.reshape() seems to allow resize_image() function correctly

Tensorflow version : 0.8.0

Original Image:

Resized Image:

I know skimage package can handle what I need, however I wish to enjoy the function from tf.train.shuffle_batch(). I try to avoid maintaining 2 identical dataset ( with 1 fixed image size ) since Caffe seems to have no problem handling them.

Could you try resizing using method=ResizeMethod.BILINEAR or method=ResizeMethod.BICUBIC. If it still fails, could you file an issue with an image that causes this, so it can be fixed on TensorFlow side? — Yaroslav Bulatov

only ResizeMethod.NEAREST_NEIGHBOR work, rest of the method produce similar result as above, I will raise an issue in github. — 24hours

This happens because image_resize() is performing an interpolation between adjacent pixels, and returning floats instead of integers in the range 0-255. That's why NEAREST_NEIGHBOR does work: it takes the value of one of the near pixels without doing further math. Suppose you have some adjacent pixels with values 240, 241. NEAREST_NEIGHBOR will return either 240 or 241. With any other method, the value could be something like 240.5, and is returned without rounding it, I assume intentionally so you can decide what is better for you (floor, round up, etc). The plt.imshow() on the other side, when facing float values, interprets only the decimal part, as if they were pixel values in a full scale between 0.0 and 1.0. To make the above code work, one of the possible solutions would be:

import numpy as np
plt.imshow(img.astype(np.uint8))
