SBI-16-2D Dataset
SBI-16-2D is a dataset which is part of the AstroCompress project. It contains imaging data assembled from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Describe data format
Usage
You first need to install the datasets and astropy packages:
pip install datasets astropy
There are two datasets: tiny and full, each with train and test splits. The tiny dataset has 2 2D images in the train and 1 in the test. The full dataset contains all the images in the data/ directory.
Use from Huggingface Directly
To directly use from this data from Huggingface, you'll want to log in on the command line before starting python:
huggingface-cli login
or
import huggingface_hub
huggingface_hub.login(token=token)
Then in your python script:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("AstroCompress/SBI-16-2D", "tiny")
ds = dataset.with_format("np")
Local Use
Alternatively, you can clone this repo and use directly without connecting to hf:
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/AstroCompress/SBI-16-2D
Then cd SBI-16-3D and start python like:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("./SBI-16-2D.py", "tiny", data_dir="./data/")
ds = dataset.with_format("np")
Now you should be able to use the ds variable like:
ds["test"][0]["image"].shape # -> (TBD)
Note of course that it will take a long time to download and convert the images in the local cache for the full dataset. Afterward, the usage should be quick as the files are memory-mapped from disk.
