Pre-trained models in order to separate color scales, hand-written signatures, library stamps or the like from interesting content are available under: https://github.com/elektrobohemian/imi-unicorns.

The extracts for each media object are stored in separated sub-folders and tar files named after the PPN (a unique ID used in the library) to facilitate further processing. Additional metadata can be obtained with help of the PPN as described here: https://github.com/elektrobohemian/StabiHacks/blob/master/ppn-howto.md .

The dataset is published as a set of ZIP files, each fitting on a Blu Ray disc. After decompression, the contents will consume ca. 166 GB.
