ImageNet is a large visual database designed for use in visual object recognition software research. It contains more than 14 million images that are manually annotated with labels for objects, scenes, and actions. It is widely used for training machine learning models in computer vision tasks.
Key Features of ImageNet
- Large-scale: ImageNet contains over 14 million images, making it one of the largest visual datasets available.
- High-quality: The images are high-resolution and have been carefully selected and annotated.
- Diverse: The dataset includes images from various domains, such as natural scenes, human-made objects, and abstract concepts.
How ImageNet is Used
ImageNet is primarily used for training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other machine learning models. It has been instrumental in the development of state-of-the-art models in computer vision tasks such as image classification, object detection, and scene understanding.
