## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://image-net.org/index.php
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0575

### Dataset Summary

This is a copy of the full `Winter21` release of ImageNet in webdataset tar format with WEBP encoded images. This release consists of 19167 classes, 2674 fewer classes than the original 21841 class `Fall11` release of the full ImageNet.

The classes were removed due to these concerns: https://www.image-net.org/update-sep-17-2019.php

This is the same contents as https://huggingface.co/datasets/timm/imagenet-w21-wds but encoded in webp at ~56% of the size, shard count halved.

### Data Splits

The full ImageNet dataset has no defined splits. This release follows that and leaves everything in the train split. Shards are shuffled so validation & test splits can be made by dividing at the shard level.

#### Train
* `imagenet12k-train-{0000..1023}.tar`
* 13151276 samples over 1024 shards
* 645.65 GB

### Processing
I performed some processing while sharding this dataset:
* All exif tags not related to color space were removed
* A set of 20 partially corrupted images in the original tar file were corrected and re-encoded
* All images with width or height < 32 were removed, ~2000 images.
* All images with the smallest edge > 768 were resized, maintaining aspect so that they were = 768. Improving size & decoding time uniformity for typical pretrain use cases.
* Images were re-encoded in WEBP
* Images were pre-shuffled across the shards
