# Wheat Seed Variety Classification

Single wheat seeds of three Pakistani varieties, Akbar-19, Dilkash-20 and Urooj-22, photographed at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, for varietal purity identification. After checking seed morphology under a microscope, the authors selected 125 seeds per variety and photographed each from the back, front and side with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III; this release holds the images resized to 256 x 256 (1,124 images). The label is the variety and seed_id groups the views of the same seed (A1-A125, D1-D125, U1-U125); which view each image shows is not recorded in the file names. The dataset contains 1,124 images across 3 classes: Akbar-19, Dilkash-20, Urooj-22.  
Images per class:
- Akbar-19: 374
- Dilkash-20: 375
- Urooj-22: 375

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
