How to download images and bounding boxes from imageNet?

Question

I am doing object detection for a specific class, say, chairs .

I want to download images of chairs from imageNet. I also want to download the annotation xml files (bounding boxes) from imageNet.

Both these things are provided on imageNet and I have successfully been able to download them using a tool called ImageNet_Utils

https://github.com/tzutalin/ImageNet_Utils

But the downloaded images and bounding boxes don't have matching names. So it is impossible to tell which xml file is for which image.

How do I download images and bounding boxes from imageNet such that corresponding image and annotation xml files have matching names?

But the downloaded images and bounding boxes don't have matching  ames. So it is impossible to tell which xml file is for which image.

I don't think that happens, image and annotation may have same name. But Bbox and image is odd.

Still if you meant image and annotation that would be odd.

You can use the mapping described here:

Access (image names, image URLs) mapping by synset ID
If you download the original images of a synset from a tar file, you
may want to know the original image URLs given the image names. You
can obtain the mapping between image names and image URLs through
http://www.image-net.org/api/text/imagenet.synset.geturls.getmapping?wnid=[wnid]
