Description

🚀 Feature

Add download functionality if available to all datasets.

Motivation

Currently, the following datasets have no option to download them directly:

  • Cityscapes
  • Coco(Detection|Captions)
  • Flickr(8|30)k
  • HMDB51
  • ImageNet
  • Kinetics400
  • LSUN
  • UCF101

Pitch

Of those listed above only

  • Cityscapes
  • Flickr(8|30)k
  • ImageNet

require some manual action that cannot be provided by us. For the others we can provide a download flag.

Research direction

Start by locating the dataset implementations for Cityscapes, Coco, Flickr8k/Flickr30k, HMDB51, ImageNet, Kinetics400, LSUN, and UCF101, then compare their existing download options. Done means datasets that can support automated downloading expose a download flag, while Cityscapes, Flickr8k/Flickr30k, and ImageNet retain their required manual steps.
