Date Fruit Dataset

Date fruit data sets are not publicly available. Previous studies have collected and used their own data set. Almost all these studies have few hundred images per class. As our motive was robust date fruit classification, we did not use the camera to take images of a particular size, angle or images with a particular background, instead to add robustness, we built our date fruit database using Google search engine. Hence the images had the multi-background, noise, different lighting condition, other objects, different packaging and sometimes even partial covering. The data set contains four classes namely, ajwa, mabroom, sagai and sukkary as for these classes the images were easily available online. This data set is challenging to classify.
