数据集
用于从实际图片中识别出特定对象。
2005~2012共八个版本,目前可以使用的是2007年及其以后的版本:
年份 | 数据 | 新增 | NOTE |
2005 | Only 4 classes: bicycles, cars, motorbikes, people. Train/validation/test: 1578 images containing 2209 annotated objects. |
Two competitions: classification and detection |
Images were largely taken from exising public datasets, and were not as challenging as the flickr images subsequently used. This dataset is obsolete. |
2006 | 10 classes: bicycle, bus, car, cat, cow, dog, horse, motorbike, person, sheep. Train/validation/test: 2618 images containing 4754 annotated objects. |
Images from flickr and from Microsoft Research Cambridge (MSRC) dataset |
The MSRC images were easier than flickr as the photos often concentrated on the object of interest. This dataset is obsolete. |
