# Dataset preparation


## COCO Dataset

- Download the coco 2017 dataset from the [official website](https://cocodataset.org/#download).

Dataset strcture should look like:
  ~~~
  ${GRiT_ROOT}
  |-- datasets
  `-- |-- coco
      |-- |-- train2017/
      |-- |-- val2017/
      |-- |-- test2017/
      |-- |-- annotations/
      |-- |-- |-- instances_train2017.json
      |-- |-- |-- instances_val2017.json
      |-- |-- |-- image_info_test-dev2017.json
  ~~~

## VG Dataset
- Download images from [official website](https://visualgenome.org/api/v0/api_home.html)
- Download our pre-processed annotations: 
  [train.json](https://datarelease.blob.core.windows.net/grit/VG_preprocessed_annotations/train.json) and
  [test.json](https://datarelease.blob.core.windows.net/grit/VG_preprocessed_annotations/test.json)

Dataset strcture should look like:
  ~~~
  ${GRiT_ROOT}
  |-- datasets
  `-- |-- vg
      |-- |-- images/
      |-- |-- annotations/
      |-- |-- |-- train.json
      |-- |-- |-- test.json
