food-MNIST Dataset

Introduction

This data set consists of 10 food categories, with 5,000 images. For each class, 125 manually reviewed test images are provided as well as 375 training images. On purpose, the training images were not cleaned, and thus still contain some amount of noise. This comes mostly in the form of intense colors and sometimes wrong labels. All images were rescaled to have a maximum side length of 512 pixels.

APIs

API 1: load_data(width, height)

Returns:
It returns two tuples

  1. x_train, x_test: uint8 array of RGB image data with shape (num_samples, width, height, 3) from the image_data_format backend setting o either channels_first or channels_last respectively.
  2. y_train, y_test: uint8 array of category labels (integers in range 0-9) with shape (num_samples,).

API 2: labels()

Returns: dictionary of labels

Example

  (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = food_mnist.load_data()
  labels_dict = food_mnist.labels()

This dataset was created out of necessity to train food-samples on smaller machine with under 8GB RAM. Source of this dataset is Food-101 dataset
