Description
- Name of dataset: Caltech 256
- URL of dataset: http://www.vision.caltech.edu/Image_Datasets/Caltech256/
- License of dataset: None
- Short description of dataset and use case(s):
The Caltech 256 is considered an improvement to its predecessor, the Caltech 101 dataset, with new features such as larger
category sizes, new and larger clutter categories, and overall increased difficulty. This is a great dataset to train models for
visual recognition: How can we recognize frogs, cell phones, sail boats and many other categories in cluttered pictures? How
can we learn these categories in the first place? Can we endow machines with the same ability?
Folks who would also like to see this dataset in tensorflow/datasets, please thumbs-up so the developers can know which requests to prioritize.
And if you'd like to contribute the dataset (thank you!), see our guide to adding a dataset.
