Datasets

The dataset is the basic data transform upon which the others operate. Most other transforms require a parent transform as input, from which to compute their output data. For example, a Subsampling transform takes an input data object and reduces the image resolution or the number of total image planes.

A dataset does not have an input data transform. Instead, it gets its input from source files on disk in one of the supported file formats. For instructions on how to create a dataset from files on disk, see the Importing a dataset from disk topic.
