akshaychawla / imagenet-downloader Goto Github PK

Hi ,
I used download_images.py script for downloading the class forklift from Imagenet . The dataset consists of 1465 images and it shows 100% at the end. When I check the doenloaded dataset , it does not contain all images and also some images are not getting opened. What could be the possible reason ?

python download_images.py -c forklift -o ./forklift/

my output is

[LOG]: Classname: forklift
[LOG]: WordNet ID: n03384352
[LOG]: Downloading 1465 images out of a total of 1465
[LOG]: output folder: ./forklift/

while running browse_classes.py I am getting this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "download_images.py", line 18, in
urls = f.readlines()
File "C:\Users\Mahathi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 3779: character maps to

after cloning this into a my local folder I opened cmd command from that directory and typed python browse_classes.py -->dog and got result

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "browse_classes.py", line 13, in <module>
    query = raw_input("-->")
NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined

Am I missing something here?

PS: I put parentheses in lines 17 and 18 to match with Python 3.x

Hi,

I realized a lot of the URLs do take quite a long time to finally state they can not be reached. If you'd use urllib.urlopen instead of urlretrieve you can define a timeout. Like this:

try:
    request = urllib.urlopen(url, timeout=500)
    with open(os.path.join(output_folder, fname), 'wb') as f:
        f.write(request.read())		
except Exception as ex:
    print "Could not retrieve url: ", url, " | skipping" 
    print ex

I would write a pull request but I am using urllib2 and python2.7 and lack a bit of motivation to install python3 to test it adequately.
