Data Characteristics

The images in the database are created by scanning slides as well as directly through digital photography. The images are scaled to size 384x256 or 256x384. The text annotations of all the images are manually created on a one by one basis.

Images are in JPEG format, 384x256 or 256x384 8 bits per pixel (RGB color space)

Data Format

The images locate in five subdirectories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 under directory image.cd.

The file "annotation.txt" provides text description for each image in the database. Every line in annotation.txt corresponds to one image. The first column is the assigned index of an image file, ranging from 0 to 2359. The second column is the image filename and the directory it locates. The words after the two columns are the manual annotation of the image.
