fix(image): normalize batched (N, C, H, W) input along the channel axis#682serhiizghama wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
normalize() advertises 4D (N, C, H, W) support via its num_channels branch and the channel-count validation, but the actual math used ((image.T - mean) / std).T. Transpose reverses every axis, so on 4D input the channels no longer line up with mean/std: it raises when N != C and silently normalizes along the batch axis when N == C. Reshape mean/std to broadcast on the real channel axis instead; the (C, H, W) path is unchanged.

stdchannel-count validation too.This test only exercises a mismatched
meanlist. Add a case with a validmeanlist and a mismatchedstdlist so the separate validation branch remains protected.Suggested test

normalize()inimage/transform/functional.pyclaims to support batched(N, C, H, W)input — it picksnum_channelsfromshape[1]for 4D arrays and validates the mean/std length against it — but the normalization itself does((image.T - mean) / std).T. Transpose reverses every axis, so(N, C, H, W)becomes(W, H, C, N)and the channel values no longer line up with mean/std: it raisesoperands could not be broadcast togetherwhenN != C, and, worse, whenN == Cit silently normalizes along the batch axis and returns wrong numbers with no error.Reshaping mean/std to broadcast on the actual channel axis (0 for
(C, H, W), 1 for(N, C, H, W)) fixes both cases. The(C, H, W)path is unchanged — I checked the output stays bit-for-bit identical to the old transpose version for both list and scalar mean/std, so the existing per-image pipeline (Normalize, flat and nested) behaves exactly as before.Added a small test module for the transform covering the 3D parity, both batched shapes, and the channel-count guard; the two batched cases fail on the current code (one raises, one returns non-zero) and pass with the fix.
