Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning Python Automation

TimothyMcKinney

I am looking for some help automating the geoprocessing tool "Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning". I am using the per-trained license plate blurring model found here: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2ae3cf1af09847a48d65c04b9da6a84f

 

My question: Using python can the tool take in images directly and export images or do all images have to be imported into a GDB, processed with an export into a GDB and then exported as an image file?

 

In my testing of the provided python script found on the below page, I cannot get a solution that does not require import and export through a GDB.

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/image-analyst/classify-pixels-using-deep-learning.htm

 

I am looking to setup a script that will take an input folder of images and run the license plate and face blurring models on them and export these images to another folder. Ideally, the processed images would be the same size/quality and have the same name as the originals. Any help with an efficient way of doing this would be appreciated.

To automate I have a loop setup and the first file runs but then there is always an unexpected error for the second file.

 

 

# Import system modules
import arcpy
import os
from arcpy.ia import *
from arcpy import env
import time

arcpy.CheckOutExtension("ImageAnalyst")

####File list...

for x in file_list:
    out_classified_raster = arcpy.ia.ClassifyPixelsUsingDeepLearning(raw_path + "\\" + x, model, "score_threshold 0.8", "PROCESS_ITEMS_SEPARATELY", None)
    out_classified_raster.save(export_path + "\\" + os.path.splitext(x)[0] + ".tif")
