	# TD 01: Natural Ground Textures

	This dataset contains multi-photo texture captures in outdoor nature scenes — all focusing on the ground. Each set has different photos that showcase texture variety, making them ideal for training a domain-specific image generator!

	Overall information about this dataset:

	* Format — JPEG-XL, lossless RGB
	* Resolution — 4032 × 2268
	* Device — mobile camera
	* Technique — hand-held
	* Orientation — portrait or landscape
	* Author: Alex J. Champandard
	* Configurations: 4K, 2K (default), 1K

	To load the medium- and high-resolution images of the dataset, you'll need to install `jxlpy` from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/jxlpy/) with `pip install jxlpy`:

	```python
	# Recommended use, JXL at high-quality.
	from jxlpy import JXLImagePlugin
	from datasets import load_dataset
	d = load_dataset('texturedesign/td01_natural-ground-textures', 'JXL@4K', num_proc=4)

	print(len(d['train']), len(d['test']))
	```

	The lowest-resolution images are available as PNG with a regular installation of `pillow`:

	```python
	# Alternative use, PNG at low-quality.
	from datasets import load_dataset
	d = load_dataset('texturedesign/td01_natural-ground-textures', 'PNG@1K', num_proc=4)

	# EXAMPLE: Discard all other sets except Set #1.
	dataset = dataset.filter(lambda s: s['set'] == 1)
	# EXAMPLE: Only keep images with index 0 and 2.
	dataset = dataset.select([0, 2])
	```

	Use built-in dataset `filter()` and `select()` to narrow down the loaded dataset for training, or to ease with development.
