Raman Data Generator

This project aims to offer a fast ⚡ and reliable data augmentation generator of Raman spectra

Arguments

Basic

Param	Type	Description
df	pandas.DataFrame	A pandas dataframe with shift's values as columns + a column called "labels" for the categories
batch_size	int	batch size of samples
max_classes	int	categories in the labels

Advanced

The standard paramenter were validated on a Raman task, however if you need a greater customization you can still tweak them!

The augmentation process works as follow. For each $sample_i$ of the current batch, takes another sample of the same class $sample_j$ (randomly) and performes:

1. roll (shift horizontally, i used the roll term because it's easy to misunderstand the horizontal shift with the Raman's shift) $sample_j$ of some roll_factor (Raman's shift values).

2. a weighted sum with respect of some $a$ probability variable

$$ sample_k = a·sample_i + (1-a)·sample_j $$

This augmentation step is based on the assumption that two samples of the same class are semantically equal (natural class variability) + some sensor noise.

3. on $sample_k$ apply a slope of some slope factor, which is baseline linear error that emulates the fluorescence issue of some sensors.
4. on $sample_k$ apply addittive white gaussian noise to the signal

Param	Type	Description
roll	bool	Enable/disable the roll step during the augmentation
roll_factor	int	The signal is rolled(horizontal shifted) of this amount of shifts. It rolls along the dataframe columns. If a signal has a precision of 10 Raman's shifts, wich means that the columns increase 10 shifts at time, using a roll factor of 5, it actually shifts 10*5 = 50 shifts
slope	bool	Enable/disable the slope step during the augmentation
slope_factor	float	It's the slope angle of the baseline linear error
noise	bool	Enable/disable the noise step during the augmentation
noise_range	tuple	The noise factor is sampled in this range. e.g. (min, max)
