r"""Create a list containing image names and their corresponding class indices
for ImageNet validation data.

The directory structure of the original ImageNet validation data set is
expected to be:

 data_dir/ILSVRC2012_val_00000001.JPEG
 data_dir/ILSVRC2012_val_00000002.JPEG
 ...
 date_dir/ILSVRC2012_val_00050000.JPEG

This script generate a list like:
 ILSVRC2012_val_00000001.JPEG 65
 ILSVRC2012_val_00000002.JPEG 970
 ...
 ILSVRC2012_val_00050000.JPEG 355

Usage:
  Download https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/slim/datasets/imagenet_2012_validation_synset_labels.txt and then,
  ./create_image_labels.py imagenet_2012_validation_synset_labels.txt
