Description

Example computer vision classification training data derived from British Library 19th Century Books Image collection

This dataset provides training data for image classification for use in a computer vision workshop. The images are derived from 'Digitised Books - Images identified as Embellishments. c. 1510 - c. 1900. JPG' from the year '1839'.

Currently, included are four folders containing a variety of images derived from the BL books corpus.

  • 'cv_workshop_exercise_data' include images of: 'building', 'people', 'coat of arms'
  • 'humancats' contains images of humans and images of cats

The 'fashion' and 'portraits' folders both contain images of people organised into 'female' and 'male'. These labels were annotated by a single annotator and these categories may themselves not be meaningful. They are included in the workshop data as a point of discussion about how we should label data both in general and when working with historical data. 

This data is intended primarily as an educational resource.
