Estimator Characteristics
| Does this estimator need to look at the data to train its parameters? | No |
| Input column data type | MLImage |
| Output column data type | MLImage |
| Required NuGet in addition to Microsoft.ML | Microsoft.ML.ImageAnalytics |
| Exportable to ONNX | No |
The resulting ImageGrayscalingTransformer creates a new column, named as specified in the output column name parameters, and converts the image from the input column into a grayscale image. The images might be converted to grayscale to reduce the complexity of the model. The grayed out images contain less information to process than the colored images. Another use case for converting to grayscale is to generate new images out of the existing ones, so you can have a larger dataset, a technique known as data augmentation. For end-to-end image processing pipelines, and scenarios in your applications, see the examples in the machinelearning-samples github repository.

Methods
| Fit(IDataView) | (Inherited from TrivialEstimator<TTransformer>) |
| GetOutputSchema(SchemaShape) |
Returns the SchemaShape of the schema which will be produced by the transformer. Used for schema propagation and verification in a pipeline. |
Extension Methods
| AppendCacheCheckpoint<TTrans>(IEstimator<TTrans>, IHostEnvironment) |
Append a 'caching checkpoint' to the estimator chain. This will ensure that the downstream estimators will be trained against cached data. It is helpful to have a caching checkpoint before trainers that take multiple data passes. |
| WithOnFitDelegate<TTransformer>(IEstimator<TTransformer>, Action<TTransformer>) |
Given an estimator, return a wrapping object that will call a delegate once Fit(IDataView) is called. It is often important for an estimator to return information about what was fit, which is why the Fit(IDataView) method returns a specifically typed object, rather than just a general ITransformer. However, at the same time, IEstimator<TTransformer> are often formed into pipelines with many objects, so we may need to build a chain of estimators via EstimatorChain<TLastTransformer> where the estimator for which we want to get the transformer is buried somewhere in this chain. For that scenario, we can through this method attach a delegate that will be called once fit is called. |
