Inserts a dimension of 1 into a tensor's shape. (deprecated arguments)
tf.compat.v1.expand_dims(
    input, axis=None, name=None, dim=None
)
Given a tensor input, this operation inserts a dimension of 1 at the
dimension index axis of input's shape. The dimension index axis starts
at zero; if you specify a negative number for axis it is counted backward
from the end.
This operation is useful if you want to add a batch dimension to a single
element. For example, if you have a single image of shape [height, width,
channels], you can make it a batch of 1 image with expand_dims(image, 0),
which will make the shape [1, height, width, channels].
Other examples:
# 't' is a tensor of shape [2]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t, 0))  # [1, 2]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t, 1))  # [2, 1]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t, -1))  # [2, 1]
# 't2' is a tensor of shape [2, 3, 5]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t2, 0))  # [1, 2, 3, 5]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t2, 2))  # [2, 3, 1, 5]
tf.shape(tf.expand_dims(t2, 3))  # [2, 3, 5, 1]
This operation requires that:
-1-input.dims() <= dim <= input.dims()
This operation is related to squeeze(), which removes dimensions of
size 1.
Args | |
|---|---|
input
 | 
A Tensor.
 | 
axis
 | 
0-D (scalar). Specifies the dimension index at which to expand the
shape of input. Must be in the range [-rank(input) - 1, rank(input)].
 | 
name
 | 
The name of the output Tensor (optional).
 | 
dim
 | 
0-D (scalar). Equivalent to axis, to be deprecated.
 | 
Returns | |
|---|---|
A Tensor with the same data as input, but its shape has an additional
dimension of size 1 added.
 | 
Raises | |
|---|---|
ValueError
 | 
if either both or neither of dim and axis are specified.
