Using my own dataset on GCP

Part 1 (2019)
1

Hi,

I have been trying for a week but I still can’t figure out how to load my own dataset (a bunch of image folders) to a notebook on GCP. I have downloaded the images (42 folders) using CurlWget but it is impossible for me to locate them nor to use them. I don’t know how to proceed. A little guidance on how to use my own images would be extremely helpful (will untar_data work?).

Thanks!

Hi,

Please checkout lesson 2 where this is explained by Jeremy using an in-built tool/function of fastai library.

I did follow scrupulously lesson 2 but he didn’t mention how to import image folders to the cloud. I have tried to use untar_data + the url of the dataset but it didn’t work out. I tried to download the dataset using the cloud terminal but it didn’t work out either. Can you please help?

Thanks!

You need to upload the URL.txt file and download the images using that, the folders are created by fastai’s helper functions.

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that I should save the URL on a .txt file and then upload it on the notebook?
