# script to extract ImageNet dataset
# ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar (about 138 GB)
# ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar (about 6.3 GB)
# make sure ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar & ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar in your current directory

# Extract the training data:
#
# Create train directory; move .tar file; change directory
mkdir imagenet/train && mv ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar imagenet/train/ && cd imagenet/train
# Extract training set; remove compressed file
tar -xvf ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar && rm -f ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar
#
# At this stage imagenet/train will contain 1000 compressed .tar files, one for each category
#
# For each .tar file: 
#   1. create directory with same name as .tar file
#   2. extract and copy contents of .tar file into directory
#   3. remove .tar file
