Hello Everyone!
I am rather new to PyTorch and I am trying to implement a previous project I had in TF in pytorch.
While testing my code so far I get the following error message:
raceback (most recent call last):
File “train.py”, line 302, in 
main()
File “train.py”, line 265, in main
train_log = train(args, train_loader, model, criterion, optimizer, epoch)

TypeError: default_collate: batch must contain tensors, numpy arrays, numbers, dicts or lists; found <class ‘imageio.core.util.Array’>
This error comes when the following function I defined for training is called:
class Dataset(torch.utils.data.Dataset):
transform = transforms.Compose([
# you can add other transformations in this list
transforms.ToTensor()])

def __init__(self, args, img_paths, mask_paths, aug=False):
    self.args = args
    self.img_paths = img_paths
    self.mask_paths = mask_paths
    self.aug = aug

def __len__(self):
    return len(self.img_paths)

def __getitem__(self, idx):
    img_path = self.img_paths[idx]
    mask_path = self.mask_paths[idx]
    image = imread(img_path)
    mask = imread(mask_path)

    image = image.astype('float32') / 255
    mask = mask.astype('float32') / 255

    if self.aug:
        if random.uniform(0, 1) > 0.5:
            image = image[:, ::-1, :].copy()
            mask = mask[:, ::-1].copy()
        if random.uniform(0, 1) > 0.5:
            image = image[::-1, :, :].copy()
            mask = mask[::-1, :].copy()

    image = image.transpose((2, 0, 1))
    mask = mask[:,:,np.newaxis]
    mask = mask.transpose((2, 0, 1))

    return image, mask

Can someone of you help me in understanding why this error occurs and why it seems that the Dataloader applied on my data seems to return an object and not a tensor?
I am sorry if the question might seems obvious or dumb but as I said I am new to PyTorch and I am trying to improve!
Thanks a lot in advance!
