Can't export training data for deep learning as PNG chips

I want to use the ArcGIS Pro tool "Export training data for deep learning" on my raster, which has these properties:

I can't choose "png" as image format for the chips. it says error 001523 in the popup.

001523: JPEG compression is only supported for 8-bit unsigned or 16-bit unsigned data with one or th... 

I already tried converting it to a 16bit unsigned integer tiff WITHOUT compression. But it's the same error:

How do I prepare my raster, to be able to export chips as png? Why can't the tool do this for me automatically?

Have you tried input raster data to be 3 bands instead of using 4 bands?

Hi Philipp,

I had the same issue when trying to get an object-detection deep learning algorithm to run. I had a 16-bit unsigned orthomosaic with 5 bands. Following Makiko's advice on this thread, I extracted the first three bands (RGB bands), and then compiled them back into an orthomosaic using the "Composite" tool under "Raster Tools." After this, I exported the raster to my working directory as a TIFF file.

I then created my training samples, and exported them as PNG files. I was able to do this with no problem.

 As I am using object detection, I exported them with the Meta Data Format being "PASCAL Visual Object Classes," and it worked just fine.

Hope that helps!

Why not exporting tiles as .tif format? This would allow  to keep the 4 bands, and to train a Deep learning model on it.
