ImageNet is a widely used large-scale image database, containing over 14 million labeled images across 21,000 object categories. It's a cornerstone for training and testing machine learning models, especially in the field of computer vision.
Key Features
- 📈 Massive Scale: 1.2 million images per class for 1,000 core categories
- 🧠 Hierarchical Structure: Organized by relationships between objects (e.g., "dog" → "Golden_Retriever")
- 🎯 Standard Benchmark: Used in competitions like ILSVRC for evaluating CNN performance
- 🌐 Multilingual Support: Includes annotations in English, Chinese, and other languages
Common Use Cases
- 🤖 Pre-trained Models: Researchers often use ImageNet weights for transfer learning
- 📊 Performance Metrics: Accuracy, precision, and recall are measured on ImageNet tasks
- 🖼️ Image Classification: Ideal for training models to recognize objects in images
