Trying to extract patches from image and getting “UnimplementedError: Only support ksizes across space”

I was trying to split my image through 4 patches when I came through the following error:

UnimplementedError: Only support ksizes across space

iterator = tf.compat.v1.data.make_one_shot_iterator(parsed_dataset) 
image,label = iterator.get_next()
image_height = image.shape[0]
image_width = image.shape[1]
# Since the expected type is (batch,height,width,channels), i have tryied to expand my image that have
# dimensions: (800,344,3) to (1,800,344,3) but didn't solved the error.
#image = tf.expand_dims(image ,0)
images = list(image)
extracted_patches = tf.image.extract_patches(images=images,
                                             sizes=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),3],
                                             strides=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),3],
                                             rates=[1,1,1,1],
                                             padding="SAME")

Answer

After further research I was able to manage by changing from:

images = list(image)
extracted_patches = tf.image.extract_patches(images=images,
                                             sizes=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),3],
                                             strides=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),3],
                                             rates=[1,1,1,1],
                                             padding="SAME")

To :

image = tf.expand_dims(image ,0)
extracted_patches = tf.image.extract_patches(images=image,
                                             sizes=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),1],
                                             strides=[1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),1],
                                             rates=[1,1,1,1],
                                             padding="SAME")

And then reshape to obtain 3 channel images:

patches = tf.reshape(extracted_patches,[-1,int(0.25*image_height),int(0.25*image_width),3])
