Self-Distilled Internet Photos (SDIP) is a multi-domain image dataset. The dataset consists of Self-Distilled Flickr (SD-Flickr) and *Self-Distilled LSUN (SD-LSUN) that were crawled from Flickr and LSUN dataset, respectively, and then curated using the method described in our Self-Distilled StyleGAN paper:

Overview

StyleGAN’s fascinating generative and editing abilities are limited to structurally aligned and well-curated datasets. It does not work well on raw datasets downloaded from the Internet. The SDIP domains presented here, which are StyleGAN-friendly, were automatically curated by our method from raw images collected from the Internet. The raw uncurated images in Self-Distilled Flicker (SD-Flickr) were first crawled from Flickr using a simple keyword (e.g. 'dog' or 'elephant').

The dataset in this page exhibits 4 domains: SD-Dogs (126K images) 1024X1024, SD-Elephants (39K images) 512X512, SD-Bicycles (96K images) 256X256, and SD-Horses (162K images) 256X256. Our curation process consists of a simple pre-processing step (off-the-shelf object detector to crop the main object and then rescale), followed by a sophisticated StyleGAN-friendly filtering step (which removes outlier images while maintaining dataset diversity). This results in a more coherent and clean dataset, which is suitable for training a StyleGAN2 generator (see more details in our paper).

The data itself is saved in a json format: for SD-Flickr we provide urls of the original images and bounding boxes used for cropping; for SD-LSUN we provide image identifiers with the bounding boxes. In addition to the SDIP dataset, we also provide weights of pre-trained StyleGAN2 models trained using each image domain presented in the paper.
