Nebula Image Dataset
Overview
This dataset contains a collection of images depicting various types of nebulas. Nebulas are large, diffuse astronomical objects composed of ionized gases, dust, and plasma. They are often found near star-forming regions and are an important part of the life cycle of stars.
Dataset Description
The dataset includes about one hundred high-resolution images of different nebulas, such as emission nebulas, reflection nebulas, and planetary nebulas. The images were collected from public astronomical sources and have been carefully curated to ensure high quality and diversity.
Data Format
The dataset is stored in the Parquet file format, which is a columnar data format that provides efficient storage and query performance. The Parquet file contains a single column, train, which holds the file paths to the individual nebula images.
Usage
You can use this dataset for a variety of machine learning and computer vision tasks, such as:
- Nebula classification
- Nebula segmentation
- Nebula generation or synthesis
- Astronomical image processing and analysis
