## Dataset Description

**NOTE:** This dataset is an unofficial port of small NORB based on a [repo from Andrea Palazzi](https://github.com/ndrplz/small_norb) using this [script](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Tx20uP1PrnyarsNCWf1dN9EQyr38BDIE?usp=sharing). For complete and accurate information, we highly recommend visiting the dataset's original homepage.

### Dataset Summary

From the dataset's [homepage](https://cs.nyu.edu/~ylclab/data/norb-v1.0-small/):

> This database is intended for experiments in 3D object reocgnition from shape. It contains images of 50 toys belonging to 5 generic categories: four-legged animals, human figures, airplanes, trucks, and cars. The objects were imaged by two cameras under 6 lighting conditions, 9 elevations (30 to 70 degrees every 5 degrees), and 18 azimuths (0 to 340 every 20 degrees).
>
> The training set is composed of 5 instances of each category (instances 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9), and the test set of the remaining 5 instances (instances 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example of an instance in this dataset:

```
{
  'image_lt': <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=L size=96x96 at 0x...>,
  'image_rt': <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=L size=96x96 at 0x...>,
  'category': 0,
  'instance': 8,
  'elevation': 6,
  'azimuth': 4,
  'lighting': 4
}
```

### Data Fields

Explanation of this dataset's fields:

- `image_lt`: a PIL image of an object from the dataset taken with one of two cameras
- `image_rt`: a PIL image of an object from the dataset taken with one of two cameras
- `category`: the category of the object shown in the images
- `instance`: the instance of the category of the object shown in the images
- `elevation`: the label of the elevation of the cameras used in capturing a picture of the object
- `azimuth`: the label of the azimuth of the cameras used in capturing a picture of the object
- `lighting`: the label of the lighting condition used in capturing a picture of the object

For more information on what these categories and labels pertain to, please see [Dataset Summary](#dataset-summary) or the [repo](https://github.com/ndrplz/small_norb) used in processing the dataset.
