Field bounding boxes for primary specimen labels on herbarium specimen sheets

This dataset contains the bounding boxes for text fields on primary specimen labels (also known as 'institutional labels') on herbarium specimen sheets. The annotations are in YOLO format. It contains the following classes:0. genus1. species2. year3. month4. day5. family6. collector7. authority8. locality9. geolocation10. collector_number11. infrasp_taxonThese classes were annotated on 3,642 images of institutional labels from 10 herbaria. 2,603 images are from the University of Melbourne's herbarium (MELU) and the remainder are from the nine herbaria represented in the benchmark dataset described by Dillen (10.3897/BDJ.7.e31817). The images are in subdirectories by the code of the respective herbarium. The institution corresponding to each code is:MELU: The University of MelbourneBR: Meise Botanic GardenK: Royal Botanic Gardens, KewBM: Natural History Museum, LondonB: Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, BerlinE: Royal Botanic Garden EdinburghP: National Museum of Natural History, ParisTU: Natural History Museum, University of TartuL: Naturalis Biodiversity CenterH: Finnish Museum of Natural History LUOMUS, University of HelsinkiThese were broken down into 2,887 training images and 755 validation images and these are listed in train.txt and valid.txt respectively.For more information, see https://github.com/rbturnbull/hespi
