RuntimeError: 1only batches of spatial targets supported (3D tensors) but got targets of size: : [1, 3, 96, 128]

I am using UNet

I have images with masks (black background and highlighted portion contain different RGB colors) and 12 classes. I want to do training using uNET. but i got error. “RuntimeError: 1only batches of spatial targets supported (3D tensors) but got targets of size: : [1, 3, 360, 640]”

Please help me

Kind Regards,
Khawar

The target tensor for a multi-class segmentation use case using nn.CrossEntropyLoss or nn.NLLLoss should have the shape [batch_size, height, width] and contain the class indices in the range [0, nb_classes-1].
If your current target is an RGB image containing color codes for each class, you would have to map these colors to class indices first, e.g. by using a lookup table.

Hi! Even I am facing the same error, what exactly do you mean by a look up table. You mean convert RGB to monochrome?

No, I meant you would have to convert the colors to class indices.
If your dataset doesn’t provide the mapping, you could create your own as described here.

Thanks a lot! It worked :slight_smile:
