This dataset is a shuffled list of downloadable CC0 image titles and URLs from [Smithsonian Open Access](https://github.com/Smithsonian/OpenAccess). |
|
Some images may be omitted due to limitations or oversights in the preprocessing pipeline, but there's no deliberate curation. |
|
|
|
This dataset only contains metadata; a tool like https://github.com/rom1504/img2dataset can be used to download the actual images: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
img2dataset --url_list data --output_folder data_files \ |
|
--input_format "parquet" --output_format files \ |
|
--caption_col "text" --url_col "url" \ |
|
--image_size 256 --min_image_size 128 --resize_mode keep_ratio --resize_only_if_bigger true \ |
|
--processes_count 16 --thread_count 128 |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This dataset includes human-authored titles and metadata directly from the SOA database. |
|
|
|
AI Picasso have also created [`soa-full-florence2`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aipicasso/soa-full-florence2) containing synthetic captions made with Florence-2. |

The `soa-full` dataset is dominated by botanical images from NMNH. Here's what a random selection looks like with all NMNH images excluded: |
