Image Safari Common Bean Cip Nairobi

Unlabeled RGB field photographs of common bean taken at the CIP Nairobi site (Nairobi, Kenya) from 2025-09-26 to 2025-10-16 for the Image Safari project, which collected a large, diverse set of crop images across sub-Saharan Africa as a foundation for AI/ML modeling. Images were captured with smartphone cameras under the phone_approach collection protocol and are stored exactly as delivered (original JPEG/WebP bytes, no resizing or re-encoding). Every row keeps all of the image's source metadata: its JSON sidecar verbatim in metadata_json (present for 754 of 1,179 images) and its row of the project's ingest table in ingest_json, plus flattened, typed columns for every field that varies within this subset (capture date and time, GPS position, plot ID, growth stage, camera make and model, device azimuth/pitch/roll, image-quality statistics, and model-predicted image type and blur scores). This is one of 59 Image Safari subsets, split by crop and collection site. The dataset contains 1,179 images with no classification, segmentation, or bounding-box annotations.

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
