Valid URL for downloading Imagenet dataset?

Question

does anyone know where I can find a valid URL where I can download the ImageNet dataset? The official webpage http://www.image-net.org/index states that the dataset is no longer publicly available.

Answer 1

Download tar files for train and val set for imagenet. If using wget in terminal:

1. wget https://image-net.org/data/ILSVRC/2012/ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar --no-check-certificate
2. wget https://image-net.org/data/ILSVRC/2012/ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar --no-check-certificate

After you have two tar files, in the same directory, download official Pytorch example script and run it.

• . ./extract_ILSVRC.sh

You will have a new folder called imagenet/ with proper folders hierarchy. It will be recognized by Pytorch ImageFolder dataloader as something like:

from torchvision import datasets

train_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder('imagenet/train', transform=transform)
val_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder('imagenet/val', transform=transform)
