85 HDF5 files in total;
322GB of hard disk space is required to extract the dataset.

Dependencies

python3.6+
pytorch1.5+
torchvision
h5py
numpy

Usage

Data preparation. Run the 'dataset_prepare_hdf5.py' to process the dataset into patches. In 'dataset_prepare_hdf5.py', variable 'dataset_path' sets the hdf5 file path of RainNet; 'patch_hdf5_root' sets the target path to save processed dataset:
python dataset_prepare_hdf5.py
We provide a example dataloader (pytorch script) to read the processed dataset:
dataloader_hdf5.py
python scripts are archived in fold 'scripts'
