Dataset Card for BSD100

Dataset Summary

BSD is a dataset used frequently for image denoising and super-resolution. Of the subdatasets, BSD100 is aclassical image dataset having 100 test images proposed by Martin et al. (2001). The dataset is composed of a large variety of images ranging from natural images to object-specific such as plants, people, food etc. BSD100 is the testing set of the Berkeley segmentation dataset BSD300.

Install with pip:

pip install datasets super-image

Evaluate a model with the super-image library:

from datasets import load_dataset
from super_image import EdsrModel
from super_image.data import EvalDataset, EvalMetrics

dataset = load_dataset('eugenesiow/BSD100', 'bicubic_x2', split='validation')
eval_dataset = EvalDataset(dataset)
model = EdsrModel.from_pretrained('eugenesiow/edsr-base', scale=2)
EvalMetrics().evaluate(model, eval_dataset)

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset is commonly used for evaluation of the image-super-resolution task.

Unofficial super-image leaderboard for:

• Scale 2
• Scale 3
• Scale 4
• Scale 8

Languages

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

An example of validation for bicubic_x2 looks as follows.

{
    "hr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/BSD100_HR/3096.png",
    "lr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/BSD100_LR_x2/3096.png"
}

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

• hr: a string to the path of the High Resolution (HR) .png image.
• lr: a string to the path of the Low Resolution (LR) .png image.

Data Splits

name	validation
