Dataset Summary

This is a filtered copy of the full ImageNet dataset consisting of the top 11821 (of 21841) classes by number of samples. It has been used to pretrain a number of in12k models in timm.

The code and metadata for building this dataset from the original full ImageNet can be found at https://github.com/rwightman/imagenet-12k

NOTE: This subset was filtered from the original fall11 ImageNet release which has been replaced by the winter21 release which removes close to 3000 synsets containing people, a number of these are of an offensive or sensitive nature. There is work in progress to filter a similar dataset from winter21, and there is already ImageNet-21k-P but with different thresholds & preprocessing steps.

Data Splits

Unlike ImageNet-1k (ILSVRC 2012), the full ImageNet dataset has no defined splits. This subset includes a validation split consiting of 40 samples per 11821 classes.

Train

• imagenet12k-train-{0000..1023}.tar
• 12129687 samples over 1024 shards

Validation

• imagenet12k-validation-{0000..0511}.tar
• 472840 samples over 512 shards

Processing

I performed some processing while sharding this dataset:

• All exif tags not related to color space were removed
• All images with width or height < 48 were removed.
• All images with the smallest edge > 600 were resized, maintaining aspect so that they were = 600. Improving size & decoding time uniformity for typical pretrain use cases.
• Images were pre-shuffled across the shards
