The Image Dataset for Classification” is a meticulously curated dataset featuring synthetically generated images of clocks set in 144 distinct classes by hour and minute combinations. The dataset includes diverse images with clock hands depicted against various clock faces, segmented into train, test, and validation subsets. Despite being optimized for model training, the dataset may not perform well with real-world images due to differences in hand shapes and colors across datasets. Clock hands are specially modified in color and position to enhance the challenge of image classification. All dataset images are formatted in 224×224 pixel resolution and RGB color mode.
Additionally, this dataset is perfect for those looking to test and improve their image classification models. It provides a controlled environment where variations in clock hand positions and colors introduce a level of complexity. Furthermore, by working with this dataset, developers can better understand how their models handle synthetic versus real-world data. This understanding can lead to improved algorithms and more robust applications in various fields, including time recognition and visual pattern detection.
