Hello everyone,
I encountered an error when trying to define a custom dataset for the PyTorch dataloader.
I want to read in  an image from the image path, generate the label from the image path, and return the image and label.  Below is my code for the dataset.
 class Non_ImageFolder_Dataset(Dataset):
     def __init__(self,image_path_list = None,transform = None):
         self.samples = image_path_list
         if self.samples is None:
             self.samples = sorted(glob.glob('<path to images>'))
         self.targets = []

    for ii in self.samples:
        slide_name = ii.split('/')[-4]
        marker_name = [ii.split('/')[-2]][0]
        roi_name = [**messy stuff***]
        image_label = marker_name + '_' + slide_name + '_' + roi_name[0]
        self.targets.append(image_label) 

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

     def __getitem__(self,idx): 
         image_path = self.samples[idx]   
         image = io.imread(image_path) 
         image_label = self.targets[idx]

         return image, image_label

In the getitem function on the io.imread(image_path), I keep getting an error.  When I try to load in the image with io.imread, I am getting the following stack trace.  The images don’t seem to be corrupt.  The file path name seems OK.  I tried both the absolute path and the path from the current directory onward.  Do you see any issue based on looking at this stack trace?  I don’t really know how to interpret it.
for images, labels in dataloader:

Thank you very much!
