Preparing the data

In this chapter, we will be working with the Facades dataset, which is available at the following link:

http://efrosgans.eecs.berkeley.edu/pix2pix/datasets/facades.tar.gz.

This dataset contains facade labels and ground truth facade images. A facade is generally the front side of a building, and facade labels are architectural labels of a facade image. We will learn more about facades after we download the dataset. Perform the following commands to download and extract the dataset:

1. Download the dataset by executing the following commands:

# Before downloading the dataset navigate to data directory
cd data

# Download the dataset
wget http://efrosgans.eecs.berkeley.edu/pix2pix/datasets/facades.tar.gz

2. After downloading the dataset, extract the dataset using the following command:

tar -xvzf facades.tar.gz

The file structure of the downloaded dataset is as follows...
