### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The Caltech-UCSD Birds 200-2011 dataset (CUB-200-2011) is an extended version of the original CUB-200 dataset, featuring photos of 200 bird species primarily from North America. This 2011 version significantly expands its predecessor by doubling the number of images per class and introducing new part location annotations, alongside collecting detailed natural language descriptions for each image through Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). The dataset includes a total of 11,788 images, split into 5,994 for training and 5,794 for testing. |
