Maize Variety Dataset for Classification

The collection consists of images of three varieties of maize seeds: Wang Dataa, Sanzal Sima, and Bihilifa, obtained from Heritage Seeds Ghana. These maize cultivars are frequently grown in the northern area of Ghana. Heritage Seeds Ghana categorized and labeled the seeds for each of the three kinds manually at the collection station. The images were taken with a 12-megapixel camera on a phone, resulting in original JPEG images of different sizes. The photos were resized to dimensions of 224 by 224, ensuring uniformity. A blue background was employed during the capture process to maintain uniformity and enhance visibility in daylight situations. The photos were subsequently categorized into their corresponding classes: Wang Dataa, Sanzal Sima, and Bihilifa. In total, the dataset used for this study consists of 17,724 color photos.
