Mask values in segmentation task are either 0 or 255. How do I resolve this?

I must be getting something terribly wrong with the fast-ai library, since I seem to be the only one having this problem. Everytime I try the learning rate finder or training the network, it gives me an error. It took me a week to produce this specific error message, which made me check the mask values. It turns out they are either 0 for background pixels and 255 for foreground ones. This is a problem as I only have two classes. How can I change the 255 values to 1 within my Databunch Object? Is there a way to divide each mask value by 255 or do I need to do it beforehand somehow? I am kinda lost within the process.

Here's the error message i'm getting:

LR Finder is complete, type {learner_name}.recorder.plot() to see the graph.

    RuntimeError: Assertion `cur_target >= 0 && cur_target < n_classes' failed.  at /pytorch/aten/src/THNN/generic/ClassNLLCriterion.c:97

Also this is how I set up my data:

    data = (SegmentationItemList.from_df(img_df,IMAGE_PATH)
          # import from df in greyscale ('L')
          .split_by_rand_pct(valid_pct=0.15)
          # 1/15 train/validation split
          .label_from_func(get_mask, classes = array(['background','cell']))
          # segmentation mask and classes
          .transform(tfms, tfm_y=True, size=TILE_SHAPE)
          # apply data augmentation
          .databunch(bs=BATCH_SIZE)
          # set batchsize
          .normalize()
    )

Please tell me if you need any more information. I already tried adding an 'after_open' function, which should have divided all by 255 to the 'label_from_func' part. I also know there is a div attribute within the 'open_image' function of fast-ai, which is supposed to normalize RGB values between 0 and 1, but I couldn't find one for 'label_from_func'.

Edit:

I found this post in the fastai community. However even with these answers i was not able to solve my problem. I tried adding this snippet to pass div=True into the open_mask function, but it did not work:

    src.train.y.create_func = partial(open_mask, div=True)
    src.valid.y.create_func = partial(open_mask, div=True)

I also tried .set_attr(mask_opener=partial(open_mask, div=True)) after .label_from_func(), but then it throws this attribute error: AttributeError: setattr

Still need help

The below custom classes are necessary to deal with the binary image segmentation datasets which use 0 and 255 to encode the mask

class SegLabelListCustom(SegmentationLabelList):
        def open(self, fn): return open_mask(fn, div=True)

class SegItemListCustom(SegmentationItemList):
    _label_cls = SegLabelListCustom

Link for reference: https://github.com/fastai/fastai/issues/1540

Below is example of using these custom classes to create a source for a databunch.

 src = (SegItemListCustom.from_folder('/home/jupyter/AerialImageDataset/train/')
          .split_by_folder(train='images', valid='validate')
          .label_from_func(get_y_fn, classes=labels))

I really hope this helps you out as I struggled to deal with this myself not too long ago and this was my solution. It was difficult because many of the answers I found were for previous versions and no longer worked.

Let me know if you need more clarification or help as I know how frustrating it can be to be stuck early on.
