## Dataset Description
- **Homepage**: https://github.com/jbhuang0604/SelfExSR
- **Repository**: https://huggingface.co/datasets/eugenesiow/Urban100
- **Paper**: https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_cvpr_2015/html/Huang_Single_Image_Super-Resolution_2015_CVPR_paper.html
- **Leaderboard**: https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image#scale-x2
### Dataset Summary
The Urban100 dataset contains 100 images of urban scenes. It commonly used as a test set to evaluate the performance of super-resolution models. It was first published by [Huang et al. (2015)](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_cvpr_2015/html/Huang_Single_Image_Super-Resolution_2015_CVPR_paper.html) in the paper "Single Image Super-Resolution From Transformed Self-Exemplars".
Install with `pip`:
```bash
pip install datasets super-image
```
Evaluate a model with the [`super-image`](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image) library:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from super_image import EdsrModel
from super_image.data import EvalDataset, EvalMetrics
dataset = load_dataset('eugenesiow/Urban100', '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`](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image) leaderboard for:
- [Scale 2](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image#scale-x2)
- [Scale 3](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image#scale-x3)
- [Scale 4](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image#scale-x4)
- [Scale 8](https://github.com/eugenesiow/super-image#scale-x8)
### Languages
Not applicable.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
An example of `validation` for `bicubic_x2` looks as follows.
```
{
"hr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/Urban100_HR/img_001.png",
"lr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/Urban100_LR_x2/img_001.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|
|-------|---:|
|bicubic_x2|100|
|bicubic_x3|100|
|bicubic_x4|100|
