Dataset Import#
Import any dataset into FiftyOne with automatic format detection. Supports local files, Hugging Face Hub, cloud storage, and multimodal grouped data.
Install#
curl -sL skil.sh | sh -s -- voxel51/fiftyone-skills
When prompted, select fiftyone-dataset-import from the menu.
Requirements#
FiftyOne MCP Server (optional, recommended for App control)
Usage#
Start the MCP server and ask your AI assistant:
"Import the COCO dataset from /path/to/data"
"Load the keremberke/license-plate-object-detection dataset from Hugging Face"
"Import this folder of images, there are cameras and LiDAR files grouped by scene"
The skill scans your data, auto-detects the format and media types, and loads the dataset into FiftyOne. It handles images, videos, point clouds, COCO, YOLO, VOC, KITTI, and more without you specifying the format.
Example#
# Download sample COCO data to ~/fiftyone/coco-2017/validation
fiftyone zoo datasets download coco-2017 --split validation
Then ask your assistant:
"Import the COCO 2017 validation dataset from ~/fiftyone/coco-2017/validation and name it coco-2017-validation"
After the skill runs, verify in Python:
import fiftyone as fo
dataset = fo.load_dataset("coco-2017-validation")
print(dataset)
Or ask your assistant to open it in the App:
"Launch the FiftyOne App with the coco-2017-validation dataset"
