## WHIM Dataset

**Annotations** 

The image annotations can be downloaded from the following Drive:

```
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d9Fw7LfnF5oJuA6yE8T3xA-u9p6H5ObZ
```

**[Alternative]**: The image annotations can be also downloaded from Hugging Face:
```
https://huggingface.co/datasets/rolpotamias/WHIM
```
If you are using Hugging Face you might need to merge the training zip files into a single file before uncompressing: 
```
cat train_split.zip* > ~/train_split.zip
```

**Images** 

To download the corresponding images you need to first download the YouTube videos and extract the specific frames.
You will need to install ''pytubefix'' or any similar package to download YouTube videos: 
```
pip install -Iv pytubefix==8.12.2
```
You can then run the following command to download the corresponding train/test images: 
```
python download_videos.py --mode {train/test}
```
Please make sure that the data are downloaded in the same directory.
