# 🎨 Danbooru2024 Dataset

## 📊 Dataset Overview

The **Danbooru2024** dataset is a comprehensive collection focused on animation and illustration artwork, derived from the official Danbooru platform. It contains approximately **6.5 million high-quality, user-annotated images** with corresponding tags and textual descriptions.

This dataset is filtered from an original set of **8.3 million entries**, excluding NSFW-rated, **opt-out** entries to create a more accessible and audience-friendly resource. It addresses the challenges associated with overly crawled booru databases by providing a curated and well-structured solution.

## ✨ Features

### 📋 Metadata Support
Includes a Parquet format metadata.

Example code for usage:
```python
# install necessary packages, you can choose pyarrow or fastparquet
#%pip install pandas pyarrow

from tqdm.auto import tqdm
import pandas as pd
tqdm.pandas() # register progress_apply

# read parquet file
df = pd.read_parquet('metadata.parquet')
print(df.head()) # check the first 5 rows

#print(df.columns) # you can check the columns of the dataframe
necessary_rows = [
    "created_at", "score", "rating", "tag_string", "up_score", 
    "down_score", "fav_count"
]
df = df[necessary_rows] # shrink the dataframe to only necessary columns
df['created_at'] = pd.to_datetime(df['created_at']) # convert to datetime

datetime_start = pd.Timestamp('2007-01-01', tz='UTC')
datetime_end = pd.Timestamp('2008-01-01', tz='UTC')
subdf = df[(df['created_at'] >= datetime_start) & 
           (df['created_at'] < datetime_end)]

# count some rating
print(subdf['rating'].value_counts())
# export subdataframe
subdf.to_parquet('metadata-2007.parquet')
```

### 📥 Partial Downloads
To simplify downloading specific entries, use the **[CheeseChaser](https://github.com/deepghs/cheesechaser)** library:

```python
#%pip install cheesechaser # >=0.2.0
from cheesechaser.datapool import Danbooru2024SfwDataPool
from cheesechaser.query import DanbooruIdQuery

pool = Danbooru2024SfwDataPool()
#my_waifu_ids = DanbooruIdQuery(['surtr_(arknights)', 'solo']) 
# above is only available when Danbooru is accessible, if not, use following:
import pandas as pd

# read parquet file
df = pd.read_parquet('metadata.parquet', 
                     columns=['id', 'tag_string']) # read only necessary columns
                     
#surtr_(arknights) -> gets interpreted as regex so we need to escape the brackets
subdf = df[df['tag_string'].str.contains('surtr_\\(arknights\\)') & 
           df['tag_string'].str.contains('solo')]
ids = subdf.index.tolist()
print(ids[:5]) # check the first 5 ids

# download danbooru images with surtr+solo, to directory /data/exp2_surtr
pool.batch_download_to_directory(
    resource_ids=ids,
    dst_dir='/data/exp2_surtr',
    max_workers=12,
)
```
