A tool to inspect Synsets of ILSVRC2012

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

                        'ILSVRC2012_ID' is an integer ID assigned to each
                        synset. All the low level synsets are assigned to an
                        ID between 1 and 1000. All the high level synsets have
                        ID higher than 1000.
  -WNID WNID            WNID' is the WordNet ID of a synset. It is used to
                        uniquely identify a synset in ImageNet or WordNet. The
                        tar files for training images are named using WNID.
                        Also it is used in naming individual training images.

pySynsets.py -words cat -table

2. Get verbose information about WNID "n02509815"

pySynsets.py -WNID n02509815 -verbose

3. Expand WNID 'n02121620' (cat) into a hierarchy tree

pySynsets.py -WNID n02121620 -expand words

4. List childern of WNID 'n02121620' (cat) in table

pySynsets.py -WNID n02121620 -listChildren -table
