| Experimental Design Summary (PPET_10000000005) |
|---|
| This dataset comprises a comprehensive collection of 10,991 high-quality images showcasing 19 distinct types of Indian spices, captured at Market Yard, Gultekadi, Pune, Maharashtra, India. Each spice category—Asafoetida, Bay Leaf, Black Cardamom, Black Pepper, Caraway Seeds, Cinnamon Stick, Cloves, Coriander Seeds, Cubeb Pepper, Cumin Seeds, Dry Ginger, Dry Red Chilly, Fennel Seeds, Green Cardamom, Mace, Nutmeg, Poppy Seeds, Star Anise, and Stone Flowers is meticulously organized into separate folders. For each category, multiple images were taken from various angles and under different lighting conditions, ensuring a rich and diverse collection. The images were captured under controlled lighting conditions to maintain consistent quality. All images are saved in JPG format and have been resized to a uniform resolution of 810 × 1080 pixels for efficient storage and processing. The creation of the Indian spices dataset follows a structured five-stage process. First, Market Yard in Gultekadi, Pune, Maharashtra, India, was identified for its extensive variety of authentic spices. Then, 19 essential spices, including Asafoetida, Bay Leaf, Black Cardamom, and others, were carefully selected to represent the diversity of Indian cuisine. High-quality images were captured using a high-resolution smartphone camera under controlled lighting conditions, with multiple photographs taken from various angles. These images were manually labelled and classified into categories to ensure accurate and reliable data. Finally, the images were organized into folders based on spice type, saved in JPG format with a resolution of 810×1080 pixels, and systematically stored for easy retrieval and analysis, making the dataset a valuable resource for machine learning, image recognition, and culinary studies.The image acquisition stage involves capturing high-quality images of the selected spices. Using professional-grade cameras and lighting equipment, the spices are meticulously arranged and photographed from multiple angles with most images taken from the top view to ensure clear visibility of their distinct features. |
| Acquired Images Annotation Description (PPET_10000000005) |
