iNaturalist 2017 Supercategory Subset

This dataset is a sampled subset of the iNaturalist 2017 Challenge dataset, specifically processed for efficient object detection training across major biological supercategories.

Dataset Summary

  • Source: iNaturalist 2017 (Competition Version)
  • Task: Object Detection
  • Classes: 9 (Collapsed from thousands of species into biological supercategories)
  • Training Samples: 1,000 images per supercategory (~9,000 total)
  • Validation Samples: 200 images per supercategory (~1,800 total)

Class Map (ID to Supercategory)

The original thousands of species-level categories have been remapped to the following indices:

ID Supercategory
0 Actinopterygii (Ray-finned fishes)
1 Amphibia (Amphibians)
2 Animalia (Other Animals)
3 Arachnida (Arachnids)
4 Aves (Birds)
5 Insecta (Insects)
6 Mammalia (Mammals)
7 Mollusca (Mollusks)
8 Reptilia (Reptiles)

File Structure

  • subset_train_bboxes.json: COCO-formatted annotations for the training set.
  • subset_val_bboxes.json: COCO-formatted annotations for the validation set.
  • images/: Directory containing all sampled JPEG images.

Usage & Reproduction

This subset was generated using dataprep.py by:

  1. Downloading the 2017 Competition bounding box annotations.
  2. Grouping images by their biological supercategory.
  3. Randomly sampling a fixed number of images per group.
  4. Collapsing the category IDs in the JSON files to the 0-8 range based on supercategory.
  5. Streaming the original 165GB iNaturalist tarball and extracting only the sampled image files.
