• Mar. 4, 2020: Repository is published
• Nov. 8, 2019: Repository creation

Summary

FCDB has been constructed based on the following papers.

Kaori Abe, Teppei Suzuki, Shunya Ueta, Akio Nakamura, Yutaka Satoh, Hirokatsu Kataoka
"Changing Fashion Cultures," arXiv pre-print:1703.07920, 2017.

Hirokatsu Kataoka, Kaori Abe, Munetaka Minoguchi, Akio Nakamura and Yutaka Satoh
"Ten-million-order Human Database for World-wide Fashion Culture Analysis,"
Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshop (CVPRW), 2019.

The repository provides codes and bounding boxes (bboxes) in order to construct FCDB which is based on YFCC100M dataset. Please note that we are NOT serving original images and meta information included in YFCC100M dataset. Therefore, please download YFCC100M images yourself by following the Yahoo's instruction. We are sharing only person bboxes which are corresponding to YFCC100M images. The detailed sharing files are shown below.

• Image identification number (Image ID) and bboxes on FCDB
• 3 types of dataset representation
  • Images divided into 16 directories
  • Pascal VOC format (for person detection)
  • MS COCO format (for person detection)

Our FCDB is also applied as a large-scale pre-training dataset for person detection. Please see also the following paper.

Requirements

• python 3
• numpy, xml, json, argparse
• 400 GB vacant space in your computer

Preparation

A user must download YFCC100M in advance, due to FCDB has constructed based on YFCC100M. The rights including copyright and license are belonged to YFCC100M. Please refer to the description of YFCC100M YFCC100M. The required data can be available on yfcc100m_dataset on Amazon s3.

Download

• Image ID and bboxes
  Please fill out the form to obtain a file which contains image ID and bboxes. After our confirmation, we will send an email to get the file.

• Pre-train weights
  We provide the weights of M2Det and SSD which are trained on FCDB. The configuration of each detector follows the default settings of each original repository. Download link is here.

Running the code

We provide three types of dataset representation. Please see the following instruction what you want. Please properly set a directory path in your environment.

16 cities

FCDB is divided into 16 directories. Each directory corresponds to each city.

python ImageFolder.py --yfcc='./yfcc100m_dataset' \
                        --id_json='./image_id_list.json' \
                        --save_dir='./FCDBv2'

Pascal VOC (for Person Detection)

FCDB is transformed to Pascal VOC format which is used in object detection. The image ID and bbox are paired.

python VocFormat.py --yfcc='./yfcc100m_dataset' \
                        --id_json='./image_id_list.json' \
                        --save_dir='./FCDBv2'

MS COCO (for Person Detection)

FCDB is transformed to MS COCO format which is used in object detection. The image ID and bbox are paired.

python CocoFormat.py --yfcc='./yfcc100m_dataset' \
                        --id_json='./image_id_list.json' \
                        --save_dir='./FCDBv2'
