Attribute Datasets
Attribute Datasets |
| Attribute is an important type of semantic properties shared among different objects or activities. It is a representation in a higher level than the raw feature representation directly extracted from images or videos. In recent years, several attribute datasets are used by various researchers for the study of utilizing attributes for different vision applications. |
| 1. aPascal & aYahoo Datasets |
| Application: Object Recognition |
| Attributes: 64 types of binary attributes annotated for each object sample of the aPascan train and test sets, and the aYahoo test set. |
| Object Types in aPascal: 20 types of objects for PASCAL VOC2008 Challenge, i.e. people, bird, cat, cow, dog, horse, sheep, aeroplane, bicycle, boat, bus, car, motorbike, train, bottle, chair, dining table, potted plant, sofa and tv/monitor. |
| Object Types in aYahoo: wolf, zebra, goat, donkey, monkey, statue of people, centaur, bag, building, jet ski, carriage, and mug. |
| Examples of Object & Attributes: |

| 4. Datasets for Human Action Recognition with Attributes |
| Liu et al. (CVPR2011) proposed a model for recognizing human actions by attributes. In this work, attribute vectors for each action class are defined for different existing human action datasets including UIUC action dataset, Weizmann dataset, KTH dataset and Olympic Sports Dataset. Please see our webpage on action datsets (Link) for more details on these existing human action datasets. |
| Application: Human Action Recognition |
| Attributes on UIUC Dataset: 22 action attributes are manually defined for each of the 14 human action classes. |
| Attributes on Mixed Action Dataset: 34 action attributes are manually defined for each of the 21 human action classes from the mixed UIUC Action, Weizmann, and KTH datasets. |
| Attributes on Olympic Sports Dataset: 41 action attributes are manually defined for each of the 16 human action classes. |
| Attribute Definitions: Please see the Technical Report (PDF) by Liu et al. |

| 5. SUN Attribute Dataset |
| Application: Scene Attribute Recognition |
| Attributes: 102 scene attributes are defined for each of the 14,340 scene images. |
| Scene Types: 717 scene categories |

| 6. Datasets with Relative Attributes |
| Instance-level relative attributes are defined by A. Kovashka, D. Parikh and K. Grauman in several datasets including Shoes (i.e. Attribute Discovery Dataset), OSR and PubFig datasets. |
| Application: Scene Recognition, WhittleSearch, etc. |
| Shoes: 14,658 shoe images augmented with 10 instance-level relative attributes: pointy at the front, open, bright in color, high at the heel, covered with ornaments, shiny, long on the leg, formal, sporty, feminine. (Link) |
| OSR: 2,688 images with 6 instance-level relative attributes. (Link) |
| PubFig: 772 images selected from PubFig dataset with 11 instance-level relative attributes. (Link) |
