# Synset Signset Germany - GTSRB Subset

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
The GTSRB subset of the <em>Synset Signset Germany</em> dataset addresses the task of traffic sign recognition in Germany. It contains the same 43 traffic
sign classes as the well-known [GTSRB](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6033395) dataset and thus represents its “synthetic twin”. For each class, the dataset
contains 500 images, accumulating to 21,500 images in total.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

<!-- Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset. More information needed for further recommendations. -->

It is recommended to use the dataset primarily for scientific research. Application to practical real-world use cases should include
human oversight and the exhaustive evaluation of the fitness for the respective purpose, including the impact of domain shifts.
