# dcode: ImageNet-Sketch to G-code Dataset
A dataset of **ImageNet-Sketch images paired with generated G-code** for training text-to-gcode diffusion models.
## Overview
This dataset enables training models that convert text descriptions directly into G-code for CNC machines, plotters, and polargraph drawing robots.
| Feature | Value |
|---------|-------|
| Source Images | [ImageNet-Sketch](https://github.com/HaohanWang/ImageNet-Sketch) |
| Classes | 1,000 ImageNet categories |
| Images | ~50,000 black/white sketches |
| G-code Files | ~200,000 (4 algorithms × images) |
| Algorithms | spiral, crosshatch, squares, trace |

## Algorithms
| Algorithm | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **spiral** | Concentric spiral from center, density varies with brightness |
| **crosshatch** | Multi-angle hatching lines at configurable angles |
| **squares** | Concentric squares sized by local brightness |
| **trace** | Binary edge detection with scan-line tracing |
## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset
ds = load_dataset("twarner/dcode-imagenet-sketch")
# Access image and corresponding gcode
sample = ds["train"][0]
print(sample["image_path"])
print(sample["gcode_path"])
print(sample["caption"]) # "a sketch of a goldfish"
```
## Training
This dataset was used to train [dcode-sd-gcode-v3](https://huggingface.co/twarner/dcode-sd-gcode-v3), an end-to-end text-to-gcode diffusion model.
