# About ExDark for Detection
You can download the official ExDark dataset from [this link](https://github.com/cs-chan/Exclusively-Dark-Image-Dataset).

For fair comparison, we provide standardized annotation and split files (following the SOTA methods). Please place the downloaded image files into the `JPEGImages` folder.

The expected directory structure is as follows:
```
dataset
|-ExDark
|--Annotations
|----2015_00001.png.xml
|----2015_00002.png.xml
|----2015_00003.png.xml
|----2015_0.....png.xml
|----...
|--JPEGImages
|----2015_00001.png
|----2015_00002.png
|----2015_00003.png
|----2015_0.....png
|----...
|--train.txt
|--test.txt
|--val.txt
```

⭐ **Note:** We will provide a complete dataset package via **Google Drive** or **Baidu Netdisk** in the future on our official GitHub.
