CVPR Explorer

A simple set of Python scripts that can be used to download and explore CVPR publications.

Python 3 and Pip are required for use of this project.

Using this Project

Functionality is split into two main files: compile.py and explorer.py

compile.py compiles a list of publications from a specific CVPR year into a JSON "library" for later exploration.

explorer.py enables exploration of a compiled library through use of keywords.

Instructions for use are detailed below.

Prerequisites

Clone the project to a directory of your choosing, navigate to the directory in your shell of choice, and install the dependencies for this project with Pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Compiling a Library

Run compile.py using Python and specify the CVPR year you wish to scrape as the first argument. To view other optional CLI arguments, use the -h argument.

# The below will compile all CVPR 2021 publications into a library
python compile.py 2021

Libraries are stored as JSON files in the current working directory within a created libraries folder.

Exploring a Library

Run explorer.py using Python to start the process of exploring a given library (or a set of libraries). A small guide will walk you through the available options for sorting/exploring the available publications. explorer.py will look for a libraries folder in your current working directory.

python compile.py
