Based on your search criteria, this tool simplifies the process of collecting relevant images for various computer vision tasks, streamlining your dataset preparation workflow. Learn more about datasets in our blog post on the best computer vision datasets. 🌟 Key Features - Keyword Search : Find images on Flickr using specific keywords relevant to your project. - Direct Download : Easily download images to assemble your computer vision dataset. - Streamlined Data Collection : Simplify the process of gathering training data for model training with YOLO models. 🔧 Requirements Ensure you have Python 3.8 or later installed. The necessary dependencies can be installed using pip: Key packages include: - flickrapi : A Python wrapper for the Flickr API, essential for interacting with Flickr services. You can find more details on the flickrapi PyPI page. 🛠️ Installation To set up the Flickr scraper on your local machine, follow these steps using Git: ⚙️ Running the Scraper Before you begin scraping images: 1. Get a Flickr API Key : Obtain your unique API key and secret by applying here. 2.
