Landscape Pictures Dataset Processing

This README provides instructions for downloading, extracting, and processing the landscape pictures dataset from Kaggle.

Dataset Source

The dataset is sourced from Kaggle: Landscape Pictures by Arnaud58 . Follow this link: Kaggle Dataset

Setup

1. Create a Dataset Directory: Create a directory to store the dataset:

import os

ds_path = "./dataset/landscape-pictures"
os.makedirs(ds_path, exist_ok=True)

2. Download the Dataset: Use the following command to download the dataset from Kaggle:

curl -L https://www.kaggle.com/api/v1/datasets/download/arnaud58/landscape-pictures -o ./dataset/landscape-pictures.zip

Note: You may need a Kaggle API token for authentication. Ensure you have the kaggle.json file configured in ~/.kaggle/ or set up the Kaggle API as per Kaggle's API documentation.

3. Extract the Dataset: Run the following Python code to extract the downloaded zip file:

import zipfile
import os

with zipfile.ZipFile('dataset/landscape-pictures.zip', 'r') as zip_ref:
    zip_ref.extractall(ds_path)

This will extract the dataset into the ./dataset directory.
