Indian Major Basmati Paddy Seed Varieties Images Dataset

Seeds for ten major Indian basmati paddy varieties were collected from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi. A total of 46 different types of pulses, grains and other food entities were also collected in-house to capture images other than paddy seeds. Moreover, a mixture of two morphologically similar paddy varieties (1121 and 1509) was also prepared in a separate vessel and its images constituted a new class (including pulses, grains and other food entities). Thus, the dataset comprises a total of 11 classes (10 basmati paddy seeds varieties and other grains and related food entities). An apparatus was manually designed, used to load the paddy seeds and capture images in standard conditions. A Micromax Canvas TAB P802 tablet was used to capture a total of 3210 images.
