save CIFAR-100 images

dear all, I'm working with CIFAR-100 images for training CNN, available here: https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar-10-matlab.tar.gz

as im extracting the file, would see different mat files (each contain one called 'labels' another 'data'). any body know what is labels and data? how can i do the same for my own data? I meant save my images as mat file with data and labels? thanks

Hi Abo! I apologize if my answer is too late, but as there is 21 views of this question in last 30 days, so I will post my answer to your question. There are three MAT files called meta.dat, test.mat and train.mat. All of them are matrices with data in order to guide the correct extracting process of the images. Here is my code to extract the images from the dataset:

if true
  clc;
  clear all;
  load('meta.mat');
  %Create folders
  for i=1:length(fine_label_names)
     mkdir('CIFAR-100\TEST\',fine_label_names{i});
     mkdir('CIFAR-100\TRAIN\',fine_label_names{i});
  end
  %%Training images
  load('train.mat');
  im=zeros(32,32,3);
  for cpt=1:50000   
     R=data(cpt,1:1024);
     G=data(cpt,1025:2048);
     B=data(cpt,2049:3072);
     k=1;
     for x=1:32
        for i=1:32
          im(x,i,1)=R(k);
          im(x,i,2)=G(k);
          im(x,i,3)=B(k);
          k=k+1;
        end
     end  
     im=uint8(im);
     pathdest = strcat('CIFAR-100\TRAIN\',fine_label_names{fine_labels(cpt)+1},'\',filenames{cpt});
     imwrite(im,pathdest,'png'); 
 end
 %%Test images
 load('test.mat');
 im=zeros(32,32,3);
 for cpt=1:10000   
    R=data(cpt,1:1024);
    G=data(cpt,1025:2048);
    B=data(cpt,2049:3072);
    k=1;
    for x=1:32
       for i=1:32
          im(x,i,1)=R(k);
          im(x,i,2)=G(k);
          im(x,i,3)=B(k);
          k=k+1;
       end
    end  
    im=uint8(im);
    pathdest = strcat('CIFAR-100\TEST\',fine_label_names{fine_labels(cpt)+1},'\',filenames{cpt});
    imwrite(im,pathdest,'png'); 
  end
end

how to unzip ".tar.gz" and load these files correctly

[Ali Yar Khan]

i want to load this dataset in matlab with correct no of classes and labels in proper format ..

any hep regarding this !

[Toshi Sinha]

Download 7-zip and extract the ".tar.gz" files using it. They will be extracted to a folder now you can see all .mat files

Thanks a lot Antonio. That program works like a charm.
