### Dataset Summary

Subset of the collection records from the research group of Chris Jiggins at the University of Cambridge derived from almost 20 years of field studies. 
This subset contains approximately 34,000 RGB images across all Heliconius. Many records include images as well as locality data. 
All detached wings were photographed with a DSLR camera with a 100 mm macro-lens in standardized conditions; images and full records with data are stored in the [EarthCape database](https://heliconius.ecdb.io/default.aspx) and on [Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4289223).

Both dorsal and ventral images available. Contains both whole butterfly, and 4 wings separate. Large variation in image content.

## Dataset Structure

* **Jiggins_Zenodo_Img_Master.csv:** Information for the approximately 34,000 unprocessed image files included in the Jiggins Heliconius Collection.
     * To access the images combine columns `zenodo_link` and `Image_name`:
       ```
       zenodo_link + '/files/' + Image_name
       ```

### Data Instances

Multiple species of Heliconius including erato and melpomene.
Detached wings in four quadrants (generally).
Some subspecies may be photographed differently, needs segmentation preprocessing.

* **Type:** JPG/jpg/tif(very few)
* **Size (x pixels by y pixels):** Unknown yet
* **Background (color or none):** multiple (needs to be normalised)
* **Fit in frame:**
* **Ruler or Scale:** Some with Ruler
* **Color (ColorChecker, white-balance, None):** None

#### Preprocessing steps (to be done):
1. Hybrid separation - some images labeled as H.erato and H. melpomene without subspecies names are hybrids and need to be determined what subspecies they are.
2. Label correction - along with step 1.
3. Removal of subspecies with no mimic pairs.
4. Segmentation of four wings from images so we can focus on forewings vs hindwings: [WingSeg](https://github.com/agporto/WingSeg).

Current preprocessing steps: [WingSeg](https://github.com/agporto/WingSeg) on the [Meier subset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/Meier-Subset-Jiggins/).
