pip install .

Getting started

To download the dataset SKIPP'D (source) and use it as a pytorch torchvision dataset, run the following code in python

from skyimages.dataset import SKIPPDDataSet
import torch


traindata = SKIPPDDataSet(download=True)
testdata = SKIPPDDataSet(download=True, train=False)

trainloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    traindata, batch_size=200, shuffle=True, num_workers=0
)
testloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    testdata, batch_size=20, shuffle=False, num_workers=0
)

Running code on Windows

If you use windows, wrap your code in the if __name__ == '__main__' clause to support multiprocessing. Here you can find more info on this issue.
