🥇🌿 Plant100-CLS: A Large-Scale Plant Species Image Classification Dataset

📌 Dataset Summary

Plant100-CLS is a large-scale real time 🌱 plant species image classification dataset containing 54,949 images across 100 plant classes, with 500+ images per class. All the images are captured using a mobile phone in the Bapatla Engineering College, Bapatla Campus. The dataset is designed to support deep learning, computer vision, and plant recognition research, particularly for tropical and subtropical plant species.

⚠️ Model predictions should not replace expert botanical advice.

---

🗂️ Dataset Structure

The dataset follows a standard folder-based classification format:

• 📁 One folder = one plant species
• 🔤 Class names use underscores (_) for ML compatibility
• 🏷️ Each image belongs to exactly one class
• 🔀 No predefined train/val/test split (user-defined)

---

🛠️ Dataset Creation

🎯 Curation Rationale

Plant100-CLS was created to address the lack of large-scale, well-balanced plant image datasets, especially for Indian and tropical flora, enabling more reliable plant classification models.

🌍 Source Data

📸 Data Collection and Processing

• Images collected from:
  • 🌐 Bapatla Engineering College Campus
  • 📷 Images are captured using Mobile Phones
  • 👥 Community contributions
• 🔍 Duplicate and corrupted images removed
• ✏️ Class names standardized and spelling corrected with the help of a Agriculture Professional and ChatGPT
• 🔗 Folder names normalized using underscore format

Real-world variability (lighting, background, leaf condition) was intentionally preserved.
