How to install datasets

We suggest putting all datasets under the same folder (say $DATA) to ease management and following the instructions below to organize datasets to avoid modifying the source code. The file structure looks like

$DATA/
|–– imagenet/
|–– caltech-101/
|–– oxford_pets/
|–– stanford_cars/

If you have some datasets already installed somewhere else, you can create symbolic links in $DATA/dataset_name that point to the original data to avoid duplicate download.

Datasets list:

Caltech101
OxfordPets
StanfordCars
Flowers102
FGVCAircraft
DTD
EuroSAT

The instructions to prepare each dataset are detailed below. To ensure reproducibility and fair comparison for future work, we provide fixed train/val/test splits for all datasets except ImageNet where the validation set is used as test set. The fixed splits are either from the original datasets (if available) or created by us.

Caltech101

Create a folder named caltech-101/ under $DATA.
Download 101_ObjectCategories.tar.gz from http://www.vision.caltech.edu/Image_Datasets/Caltech101/101_ObjectCategories.tar.gz and extract the file under $DATA/caltech-101.
Download split_zhou_Caltech101.json from this link and put it under $DATA/caltech-101.

The directory structure should look like

caltech-101/
|–– 101_ObjectCategories/
|–– split_zhou_Caltech101.json

OxfordPets

Create a folder named oxford_pets/ under $DATA.
Download the images from https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/pets/data/images.tar.gz.
Download the annotations from https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/pets/data/annotations.tar.gz.
Download split_zhou_OxfordPets.json from this link.

The directory structure should look like

oxford_pets/
|–– images/
|–– annotations/
|–– split_zhou_OxfordPets.json

StanfordCars

Create a folder named stanford_cars/ under $DATA.
Download the train images http://ai.stanford.edu/~jkrause/car196/cars_train.tgz.
Download the test images http://ai.stanford.edu/~jkrause/car196/cars_test.tgz.
Download the train labels https://ai.stanford.edu/~jkrause/cars/car_devkit.tgz.
Download the test labels http://ai.stanford.edu/~jkrause/car196/cars_test_annos_withlabels.mat.
Download split_zhou_StanfordCars.json from this link.

The directory structure should look like

stanford_cars/
|–– cars_test\
|–– cars_test_annos_withlabels.mat
|–– cars_train\
|–– devkit\
|–– split_zhou_StanfordCars.json

Flowers102

Create a folder named oxford_flowers/ under $DATA.
Download the images and labels from https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/flowers/102/102flowers.tgz and https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/flowers/102/imagelabels.mat respectively.
Download cat_to_name.json from here.
Download split_zhou_OxfordFlowers.json from here.

The directory structure should look like

oxford_flowers/
|–– cat_to_name.json
|–– imagelabels.mat
|–– jpg/
|–– split_zhou_OxfordFlowers.json

FGVCAircraft

Download the data from https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/fgvc-aircraft/archives/fgvc-aircraft-2013b.tar.gz.
Extract fgvc-aircraft-2013b.tar.gz and keep only data/.
Move data/ to $DATA and rename the folder to fgvc_aircraft/.

The directory structure should look like

fgvc_aircraft/
|–– images/
|–– ... # a bunch of .txt files

DTD

Download the dataset from https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/dtd/download/dtd-r1.0.1.tar.gz and extract it to $DATA. This should lead to $DATA/dtd/.
Download split_zhou_DescribableTextures.json from this link.

The directory structure should look like

dtd/
|–– images/
|–– imdb/
|–– labels/
|–– split_zhou_DescribableTextures.json

EuroSAT

Create a folder named eurosat/ under $DATA.
Download the dataset from http://madm.dfki.de/files/sentinel/EuroSAT.zip and extract it to $DATA/eurosat/.
Download split_zhou_EuroSAT.json from here.

The directory structure should look like

eurosat/
|–– 2750/
|–– split_zhou_EuroSAT.json
