Preprocess files for training

preprocess.py

import cv2
import pandas as pd

root_dir = os.getcwd()
file_list = ['train.csv', 'val.csv']
image_source_dir = os.path.join(root_dir, 'data/images/')
data_root = os.path.join(root_dir, 'data')
for file in file_list:
    
    image_target_dir = os.path.join(data_root, file.split(".")[0])
    
    # read list of image files to process from file
    image_list = pd.read_csv(os.path.join(data_root, file), header=None)[0]

        img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
        
        # perform transformations on image
        b = cv2.distanceTransform(img, distanceType=cv2.DIST_L2, maskSize=5)
        g = cv2.distanceTransform(img, distanceType=cv2.DIST_L1, maskSize=5)
        r = cv2.distanceTransform(img, distanceType=cv2.DIST_C, maskSize=5)
        
        # merge the transformed channels back to an image
        transformed_image = cv2.merge((b, g, r))
        target_file = os.path.join(image_target_dir, image)

        cv2.imwrite(target_file, transformed_image)

Hi!
I would suggest to insert these lines after the definition of the image_target_dir to create the folder in case someone didn't do that manually.

if not os.path.exists(image_target_dir):
os.mkdir(image_target_dir)

Anyway appreciate your work, I found the article on Medium pretty useful. Keep it up and have a good day!
