Module: tfm.vision.sampling_ops

Class to subsample minibatches by balancing positives and negatives.

Subsamples minibatches based on a pre-specified positive fraction in range [0,1]. The class presumes there are many more negatives than positive examples: if the desired batch_size cannot be achieved with the pre-specified positive fraction, it fills the rest with negative examples. If this is not sufficient for obtaining the desired batch_size, it returns fewer examples.

The main function to call is Subsample(self, indicator, labels). For convenience one can also call SubsampleWeights(self, weights, labels) which is defined in the minibatch_sampler base class.

When is_static is True, it implements a method that guarantees static shapes. It also ensures the length of output of the subsample is always batch_size, even when number of examples set to True in indicator is less than batch_size.

This is originally implemented in TensorFlow Object Detection API.
