Description

‍

The dataset Shells or Pebbles Classification is a set of 4,284 images divided into two classes: “Shell” and “Pebble”. It can be used to train computer vision models that can distinguish between these two types of natural objects, for educational projects, mobile applications, or binary classification demonstrations.

‍

‍

What is this dataset for?

‍

  • Training binary image classification models on natural data
  • Develop a mobile application for recognizing objects on the beach
  • Experiment with data augmentation, fine-tuning or few-shot learning

‍

‍

Can it be enriched or improved?

‍

Yes. It is possible to add new images from other beaches, to manually label subcategories, or to cross this game with other natural objects to expand the possibilities. Improvement can also be achieved through image normalization or class balancing if necessary.
