Dataset Statistics

Number of samples

11707

Image sizes

All images in the dataset are in RGB format, but they exhibit varying resolutions:

Width ranges from 73 to 11,830 pixels.
Height ranges from 38 to 8,268 pixels.

The side length of a square image with the same number of pixels as an image with height $h$ and width $w$ is approximately given as $x = \text{int}({{\sqrt{h \cdot w}})}$ .

Plotting the distribution of $x$ gives an insight into the sizes of the images in the dataset.

Caption Length Distribution

Potential Dataset Issues

There are 14 images with the caption "Arkivfoto".
There are 37 images with captions consisting solely of a source reference, such as "Kilde: <name of source>".

You might want to consider excluding these samples from the model training process.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

There are not many large-scale image-captioning datasets in Danish.
