About
This dataset features a collection of African Leopard images, specifically focusing on the Panthera pardus pardus subspecies. It is primarily designed for machine learning tasks, particularly for image classification models aimed at identifying different wild cat species. The images are processed to ensure suitability for computer vision applications, making them ideal for training and validating deep learning models.
Columns
- class id: A numerical identifier assigned to the specific animal class, enabling systematic categorisation within the dataset.
- filepaths: The relative path to each individual image file within the dataset's directory structure.
- labels: A common name label for the animal depicted in the image, such as 'AFRICAN LEOPARD'.
- data set: Indicates the partition of the dataset the image belongs to, typically 'train', 'test', or 'valid'.
- scientific name: The formal scientific name of the animal, in this case, Panthera pardus pardus.
Distribution
The dataset comprises image files primarily in JPG format, with each image standardised to a resolution of 224 x 224 pixels with 3 colour channels. The images are organised into a typical machine learning dataset structure, including separate directories for training, testing, and validation subsets. While specific image counts for the African Leopard subset are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the broader dataset of big cats includes thousands of training files and dozens each for testing and validation. The overall dataset, when distributed, has a size of over 137 MB.
Usage
This dataset is suitable for a variety of applications in computer vision and machine learning. It can be used for training and evaluating image classification models to distinguish African Leopards from other animals or within a broader taxonomy of wild cats. Other ideal use cases include developing advanced deep learning algorithms, educational purposes in zoology and artificial intelligence, and research into animal recognition systems.
Coverage
This dataset focuses exclusively on the African Leopard, Panthera pardus pardus. While a specific geographic range is implied by the species name, no explicit geographical coordinates or time ranges are provided for the image collection. The scope is limited to photographic representations of this particular subspecies.
