# Dataset Card for VNDB IMG

## Dataset Description

This is a 🤗 Datasets loader for the [vndb.org](https://vndb.org) image database dump.

It contains anime-style images flagged by users according to these categories:

* sexual content: safe/suggestive/explicit
* violence: tame/violent/brutal

## Loading Instructions

For licensing and "moral" reasons, the database dump has to be downloaded manually.

Please download the vndb.org database dump manually from <https://vndb.org/d14>.
Download the "Near-complete database" `vndb-db-latest.tar.zst` file.
Use `rsync` to download the 'Images' collection.

Create the following directory structure:

```
my/dataset/path
├── db
│   └── vndb-db-latest.tar.zst
└── vndb-img # this is the directory you downloaded with rsync
    ├── ch
    ├── cv
    ├── sf
    ├── st
    └── ...
```

Inside `my/dataset/path/db` run

```
zstd -d vndb-db-latest.tar.zst
```

and

```
tar -xf vndb-db-latest.tar
```

The final directory structure should look like this:

```
my/dataset/path
├── db
│   ├── vndb-db-latest.tar
│   ├── vndb-db-latest.tar.zst
│   ├── db
│   └── ...
└── vndb-img
    ├── ch
    ├── cv
    ├── sf
    ├── st
    └── ...
```

Finally, load the dataset

```python
datasets.load_dataset('carbon225/vndb_img', data_dir='my/dataset/path')
```

## Dataset Structure

The following fields are provided:
```python
{
    'index': datasets.Value('int32'),
    'id': datasets.Value('string'),
    'width': datasets.Value('int32'),
    'height': datasets.Value('int32'),
    'c_votecount': datasets.Value('int32'),

## Supported Tasks

With a few modifications the data can be used for:
* image classification of NSFW material
* image generation/super-resolution/...
* ...

## Considerations for Using the Data

The images are ***hardcore***, to say the least. I recommend not looking.
