Easily turn a set of image urls to an image dataset

## Install

pip install img2dataset

## Usage

First get some image url list. For example:
```
echo 'https://placekitten.com/200/305' >> myimglist.txt
echo 'https://placekitten.com/200/304' >> myimglist.txt
echo 'https://placekitten.com/200/303' >> myimglist.txt
```

Then, run the tool:

```
img2dataset --url_list=myimglist.txt --output_folder=output_folder --thread_count=64 --image_size=256
```

The tool will then automatically download the urls, resize them, and store them with that format:
* output_folder
    * 0
        * 0.jpg
        * 1.jpg
        * 2.jpg

with each number being the position in the list. The subfolders avoids having too many files in a single folder.

This can then easily be fed into machine learning training or any other use case.

## API

This module exposes a single function `download` which takes the same arguments as the command line tool:

* url_list A file with the list of url of images to download, one by line (required)
* image_size The side to resize image to (default 256)
* output_folder The path to the output folder (default "images")
* thread_count The number of threads used for downloading the pictures. This is important to be high for performance. (default 256)
* resize_mode The way to resize pictures, can be no, border or keep_ratio (default border)
  * no doesn't resize at all
  * border will make the image image_size x image_size and add a border
  * keep ratio will keep the ratio and make the smallest side of the picture image_size
* resize_only_if_bigger resize pictures only if bigger that the image_size (default False)

## Road map

This tool work as it. However in the future goals will include:

* WebDataset format option
* support for multiple input files
* support for csv or parquet files as input
* benchmarks for 1M, 10M, 100M pictures

## For development

Either locally, or in [gitpod](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/rom1504/img2dataset) (do `export PIP_USER=false` there)

Setup a virtualenv:

```
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```

to run tests:
```
pip install -r requirements-test.txt
```
then 
```
python -m pytest -v tests
```
