Utility for working with danbooru2018 dataset

Danbooru Utility

Danbooru Utility is a simple python script for working with gwern's Danbooru2018 dataset. It can explore the dataset, filter by tags, rating, and score, detect faces, and resize the images. I've been using it to make datasets for gan training.

Install

pip3 install danbooru-utility

Make sure you have downloaded Danbooru2018. It's ~3.3M annotated anime images, so downloading may take a long time.

Usage

First let's search for something fairly particular.

$ danbooru-utility \
--directory ~/datasets/danbooru-gwern/danbooru2018/ \
--rating "s" \
--required_tags "archer,toosaka_rin,hug" \
--max_examples 3 \
--img_size 256

Processed 3 files. Added 3 images. It took 14.39 sec

This will find three images with the required tags, and resize them to 256x256. Note this took a long time since the filtering is just done in a loop. Let's check what this produced in out-images:

Now let's run the same command but with face detection:

$ danbooru-utility \
--directory ~/datasets/danbooru-gwern/danbooru2018/ \
--rating "s" \
--required_tags "archer,toosaka_rin,hug" \
--max_examples 3 \
--img_size 256 \
--faces

Processed 3 files. Added 1 images. It took 12.48 sec

That produced:

So it cropped with the face in the upper center of the image.

Let's change the face_scale parameter. This controls how much of the image around the face is included in the crop.

$ danbooru-utility \
--directory ~/datasets/danbooru-gwern/danbooru2018/ \
--rating "s" \
--required_tags "archer,toosaka_rin,hug" \
--max_examples 3 \
--img_size 256 \
--faces \
--overwrite \
--face_scale 1.8

Processed 3 files. Added 1 images. It took 12.49 sec

A little tighter crop.

If you have already processed some images this utility will check and not reproduce them, unless you set the overwrite parameter. So if you change image generation parameters you should use this flag. You can also specify a link_dir to symlink to. So you can, for instance, resize a large number of images, and then create datasets for specific tags quickly.

danbooru2018 utility script

optional arguments:

  --metadata_dir METADATA_DIR
                        Metadata path below base directory. Will load all json
                        files here.
  --save_dir SAVE_DIR   Directory processed images are saved to.
  --link_dir LINK_DIR   Directory with already processed images. Used to
                        symlink to if the files exist.

  -a ATLEAST_TAGS, --atleast_tags ATLEAST_TAGS
                        Requires some number of these tags.
  --ratings RATINGS     Only include images with these ratings. "s,q,e" are
                        the possible entries, and represent
                        "safe,questionable,explicit".
  --score_range SCORE_RANGE
                        Only include images inside this score range.
  -n ATLEAST_NUM, --atleast_num ATLEAST_NUM
                        Minimum number of atleast_tags required.
  --overwrite [OVERWRITE]
                        Overwrite images in save directory.
  --preview [PREVIEW]   Preview images.
  --faces [FACES]       Detect faces and try to include them in top of image.
  --face_scale FACE_SCALE
                        Height and width multiplier over size of face.
  --max_examples MAX_EXAMPLES
                        Maximum number of files to load.
  --img_size IMG_SIZE   Size of side for resized images.

Improvements

This could load the dataset into a relational database, allowing much more efficient and powerful querying.

The face detection has room for improvement. It has rare false positives, and a fair number of false negatives.
