Tensorflow network layers error but received input with shape (None, 250, 250, 3)-CodePudding

I am writing a neural network in TensorFlow and keras. The goal is to understand the state of the 2 options from the picture. Pictures 250x250.

model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(32, input_shape=(250,250,1)))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(128, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dense(1, activation='sigmoid'))

model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', 
              optimizer="adam",
              metrics=['accuracy'])

Model: "sequential_16"

Layer (type) Output Shape Param #

dense_33 (Dense) (None, 250, 250, 32) 64

flatten_5 (Flatten) (None, 2000000) 0

dense_34 (Dense) (None, 128) 256000128

dense_35 (Dense) (None, 1) 129

Total params: 256,000,321 Trainable params: 256,000,321 Non-trainable params: 0

history = model.fit(train_dataset,
                    validation_data=validation_dataset,
                    epochs=15)

But when I start the tutorial, I get an error:

Epoch 1/15
WARNING:tensorflow:Model was constructed with shape (None, 250, 250, 1) for input KerasTensor(type_spec=TensorSpec(shape=(None, 250, 250, 1), dtype=tf.float32, name='dense_33_input'), name='dense_33_input', description="created by layer 'dense_33_input'"), but it was called on an input with incompatible shape (None, 250, 250, 3).

Tell me what should I do with this, please?

CodePudding user response：

Your input is (probably) a 3-channel RGB image, hence its last shape dimension is 3, but the first layer of the model expects a input_shape=(250,250,1). So, either modify your network to take as input a 3 channel image, or pre-process your images to grayscale for instance, to only have one channel.
