Yes. I load my data from an SSD disk. I’m using OpenCV to load images.
I’d like provide an example of the loading time:


Loading the sequence of 9 images (resolution: 1080x1920x3) — time: 0.8175349235534668 second

Augmentation — time: 0.05149197578430176 second

That’s why I think the loading raw images phase is the bottleneck.
