1. Download and extract VOC2007 and VOC2012 dataset. By default, we assume the data is stored in $HOME/data/

cd $HOME/data
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar
tar -xvf VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
tar -xvf VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
tar -xvf VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar
# You should download the test set of VOC2012 as follow:
Download VOC2012test.tar via http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk:8080/eval/downloads/VOC2012test.tar and upzip it.

2. Create the trainval.txt, test.txt, and test_name_size.txt in data/VOC0712Plus/

cd $RefineDet_ROOT
./data/VOC0712Plus/create_list.sh

3. Create the LMDB file.

# You can modify the parameters in create_data.sh if needed.
# It will create lmdb files for trainval with encoded original image:
#   - $HOME/data/VOCdevkit/VOC0712Plus/lmdb/VOC0712Plus_trainval_lmdb
# and make soft links at examples/VOC0712Plus/
cd $RefineDet_ROOT
./data/VOC0712Plus/create_data.sh
