read_mat

ReadMat

Bases: NumpyOp

A class for reading .mat files from disk.

This expects every sample to have a separate .mat file.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
inputs str

Dictionary key that contains the .mat path.

required
outputs Union[str, Iterable[str]]

Keys to output from the mat file.

required
mat_keys Union[None, str, Iterable[str]]

(Optional) Keys to read from the .mat file. Defaults to outputs, but to re-name keys you can provide the original name here and the new name in outputs.

None
mode Union[None, str, Iterable[str]]

What mode(s) to execute this Op in. For example, "train", "eval", "test", or "infer". To execute regardless of mode, pass None. To execute in all modes except for a particular one, you can pass an argument like "!infer" or "!train".

None
ds_id Union[None, str, Iterable[str]]

What dataset id(s) to execute this Op in. To execute regardless of ds_id, pass None. To execute in all ds_ids except for a particular one, you can pass an argument like "!ds1".

None
parent_path str

Parent path that will be prepended to a given filepath.
