NJN: A Dataset for the Normal and Jaundiced Newborns

This dataset article provides images of newborns taken in the NICU at Al-Elwiya Maternity Teaching Hospital in Al Rusafa, Baghdad, Iraq. It is a hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology; therefore, all infants are considered aseptic. This data com-prises normal and jaundiced infant images from different angles and lighting environments. Thus, collecting as many images as possible helps increase the accuracy. The collected data from about 600 newborns, includes 670 infant images (560 normal and 200 jaundiced) with 1000 ×1000 resolution all in jpg format. The images were taken by an iPhone 11 pro max 12 MP camera. The dataset is composed of three folders: normal neonate images, jaundiced neonate images, and an excel sheet file in CSV (Comma delimited) format that contains the RGB and YCrCb channel values in addition to the status of row values, either “1” for normal, or “2” for jaundiced.
