Image file reading：TypeError: batch must contain tensors, numbers, dicts or lists; found <class 'PIL.Image.Image'>

I have image dataset. when I use my dataloader, I get the following error:

File “resnet_cub.py”, line 138, in test
for i,(input_x, target) in enumerate(val_loader):
File “/root/Util/miniconda/envs/py3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/torch/utils/data/dataloader.py”, line 179, in next
batch = self.collate_fn([self.dataset[i] for i in indices])
File “/root/Util/miniconda/envs/py3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/torch/utils/data/dataloader.py”, line 109, in default_collate
return [default_collate(samples) for samples in transposed]
File “/root/Util/miniconda/envs/py3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/torch/utils/data/dataloader.py”, line 109, in
return [default_collate(samples) for samples in transposed]
File “/root/Util/miniconda/envs/py3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/torch/utils/data/dataloader.py”, line 112, in default_collate
.format(type(batch[0]))))
TypeError: batch must contain tensors, numbers, dicts or lists; found <class ‘PIL.Image.Image’>

My dataloader code is this:

class MyDataset(Dataset):
def init(self, root, set, transform=None, target_transform = None):
if set == ‘train’:
fname = os.path.join(root, ‘train1.txt’)
elif set ==‘test’:
fname = os.path.join(root, ‘test1.txt’)
fn = open(fname, ‘r’)
imgs =
for line in fn.readlines():
words = line.split()
imgs.append((words[0],int(words[1])))
self.root = root
self.imgs = imgs
self.transform = transform
self.target_transform = transform

def __getitem__(self, index):
	fn, label = self.imgs[index]
	img = Image.open(os.path.join(self.root,'images',fn)).convert('RGB')
	if self.transform is not None:
		img = self.transform(img)
	return img, torch.Tensor(label)

def __len__(self):
	return len(self.imgs)

def test():

val_dataset = MyDataset(dataroot, 'train')

val_loader = DataLoader(dataset = val_dataset, batch_size = 8, shuffle = False)

pre_label = []
for i,(input_x, target) in enumerate(val_loader):
	input_var =  torch.autograd.Variable(input_x)
	target_var = torch.autograd.Variable(target)
	print('.....')

The error states that the DataLoader receives a PIL image. This is because there are no transforms made (transform=None) on the image. The __getitem__ method of MyDataset passes an unprocessed PIL image to the DataLoader, whereas it should receive a tensor.

You can add a transform that creates a tensor from the PIL image by adding transform:

from torchvision import transforms

transform = transforms.Compose([
    # you can add other transformations in this list
    transforms.ToTensor()
])

as an argument to MyDataset.

The issue was solved in the way you show.Thank you! (*￣︶￣)
