EMNIST-character-data

This repo contains the code to convert .mat format emnist datafiles to local filesystem for better visualization in a proper formatted order that can be used for training.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.7
2. pip 19.0.3

Installing

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

To convert the eminst data files (.mat format) to local filesystem in a proper train-test split format:

python create_dataset.py data_path split_param

data_path is the path for the .mat file

split_param is just a helper string parameter used to signify the split type for folder structure creation.

Example

python create_dataset.py ./eminst_mat/byclass/emnist-byclass.mat byclass

Running the above command creates a folder structure, a sample of which is present in the sample_output folder.

Please read this for more details on the dataset and different splits.
