How does tfds works?

In keras-retinanet, We have to download a pulbic dataset(such as voc, coco) to local repo our self.
But tfds seems not to download our self. How does tfds works?

We are trying to make the downloading process be encapsulated as "tfds" package does. But 'tfds' gives *.tfrecord file. We are looking for other ways to get image-extension too.

@minus31 thanks for your advice.
Then how about [this](colab.research.google.com/github/visionNoob/Tensorflow_Tutorial/blob/master/Day_1/Q1 - Score Prediction.ipynb)?

I don't wanna give up tf.record. cuz it's very efficient.
