Extract ImageNet image paths by category keywords

ParseImageNet

Extract image file paths from ImageNet by matching category keywords. Useful for creating custom subsets of ImageNet for training or evaluation.

Kaggle Dataset

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• ImageNet dataset (or a subset) with the standard ILSVRC directory structure:

  ImageNet-Subset/
  ├── LOC_synset_mapping.txt
  └── ILSVRC/
      ├── ImageSets/
      │   └── CLS-LOC/
      │       └── train_cls.txt
      └── Data/
          └── CLS-LOC/
              └── train/
                  ├── n01440764/
                  │   ├── n01440764_10026.JPEG
                  │   └── ...
                  └── ...
  

Installation

pip install parseimagenet

For local development:

git clone https://github.com/MrT3313/Parse-ImageNet.git
pip install -e ./Parse-ImageNet

Usage

[!NOTE]

Example Notebook

In Jupyter Lab / Jupyter Notebook

from pathlib import Path
from parseimagenet import get_image_paths_by_keywords

# Set the path to your ImageNet directory
base_path = Path('/path/to/your/ImageNet-Subset')
# ex: /Users/mrt/Documents/MrT/code/computer-vision/image-bank/ImageNet-Subset

# Use the default "birds" preset
image_paths = get_image_paths_by_keywords(base_path=base_path)

# image_paths is a list of Path objects
print(f"Found {len(image_paths)} images")
print(image_paths[:5])

Using Preset Keywords

Presets are predefined keyword lists for common categories:

from parseimagenet import get_image_paths_by_keywords # main function
from parseimagenet import get_available_presets, KEYWORD_PRESETS # helpers

# See available presets
print(get_available_presets())  # ['birds']

# Use a specific preset
image_paths = get_image_paths_by_keywords(
    base_path=base_path,
    preset="birds",
    num_images=200
)

# Access preset keywords directly
print(KEYWORD_PRESETS["birds"])

Using Custom Keywords

Custom keywords override the preset:

image_paths = get_image_paths_by_keywords(
    base_path=base_path,
    keywords=['dog', 'puppy', 'hound'],
    num_images=100
)

[!NOTE]

you can find all applicable categories in the LOC_synset_mapping.txt file

Command Line

# Use default preset (birds)
python -m parseimagenet.ParseImageNetSubset --base_path /path/to/ImageNet-Subset

# Use a specific preset
python -m parseimagenet.ParseImageNetSubset --base_path /path/to/ImageNet-Subset --preset birds --num_images 100

# Use custom keywords (overrides preset)
python -m parseimagenet.ParseImageNetSubset --base_path /path/to/ImageNet-Subset --keywords dog puppy --num_images 100
