org.openimaj.data.dataset.ReadableListDataset<INSTANCE,org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject>

org.openimaj.data.dataset.VFSListDataset<INSTANCE>

Type Parameters:

INSTANCE - The type of instance in the dataset

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<INSTANCE>, Collection<INSTANCE>, List<INSTANCE>, Dataset<INSTANCE>, ListDataset<INSTANCE>, Identifiable

public class VFSListDataset<INSTANCE>
extends ReadableListDataset<INSTANCE,org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject>
implements Identifiable

A ListDataset backed by a directory of items (either locally or remotely), or items stored in a compressed archive.

As an example, this class can be used to easily create a ListDataset from a directory of images:

 ListDataset<FImage> dataset = new VFSListDataset<FImage>("/path/to/directory/of/images",
                ImageUtilities.FIMAGE_READER);
 

a zip file of images:

 ListDataset<FImage> dataset = new VFSListDataset<FImage>(
                "zip:file:/path/to/images.zip", ImageUtilities.FIMAGE_READER);
 

or even a remote zip of images hosted via http:

 ListDataset<FImage> dataset = new VFSListDataset<FImage>(
                "zip:http://localhost/˜jsh2/thumbnails.zip", ImageUtilities.FIMAGE_READER);

Constructor Detail

VFSListDataset

public VFSListDataset(String path,
              InputStreamObjectReader<INSTANCE> reader)
               throws org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException

Construct a list dataset from any virtual file system source (local directory, remote zip file, etc).

Parameters:

path - the file system path or uri. See the Apache Commons VFS2 documentation for all the details.

reader - the InputStreamObjectReader that reads the data from the VFS

Throws:

org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException - if an error occurs accessing the VFS

              ObjectReader<INSTANCE,org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject> reader)
               throws org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException

Construct a list dataset from any virtual file system source (local directory, remote zip file, etc).

Parameters:

path - the file system path or uri. See the Apache Commons VFS2 documentation for all the details.

reader - the ObjectReader that reads the data from the VFS

Throws:

org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException - if an error occurs accessing the VFS

Method Detail

getFileObjects

public org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject[] getFileObjects()

Get the underlying file descriptors of the files in the dataset

Returns:

the array of file objects

getFileObject

public org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject getFileObject(int index)

Get the underlying file descriptor for a particular instance in the dataset.

Parameters:

index - index of the instance

Returns:

the file object corresponding to the instance

getInstance

public INSTANCE getInstance(int index)

Description copied from interface: ListDataset

Returns the instance at the specified position in this dataset.

Specified by:

getInstance in interface ListDataset<INSTANCE>

Parameters:

index - index of the instance to return

Returns:

the element at the specified position in this list

numInstances

public int numInstances()

Description copied from interface: Dataset

Returns the number of instances in this dataset.

Specified by:

numInstances in interface Dataset<INSTANCE>

Returns:

the number of instances in this list

iterator

public Iterator<INSTANCE> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<INSTANCE>

Specified by:

iterator in interface Collection<INSTANCE>

Specified by:

iterator in interface List<INSTANCE>

Overrides:

iterator in class AbstractList<INSTANCE>

getID

public String getID(int index)

Description copied from class: ReadableListDataset

Get an identifier for the instance at the given index. By default this just returns the index converted to a String, but sub-classes should override to to something more sensible if possible.

Overrides:

getID in class ReadableListDataset<INSTANCE,org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject>

Parameters:

index - the index

Returns:

the identifier of the instance at the given index

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractCollection<INSTANCE>

getID

public String getID()

Specified by:

getID in interface Identifiable

Returns:

the identifier of this object
