Datsets

We use the links in RCF Repository (really thanks for that). The augmented BSDS500, PASCAL VOC, and NYUD datasets can be downloaded with:

  wget http://mftp.mmcheng.net/liuyun/rcf/data/HED-BSDS.tar.gz
  wget http://mftp.mmcheng.net/liuyun/rcf/data/PASCAL.tar.gz
  wget http://mftp.mmcheng.net/liuyun/rcf/data/NYUD.tar.gz

We use the links in DexiNed Repository (really thanks for that).
We used the first version before the second version came out.
