Goldfinch: GOogLe image-search Dataset for FINe grained CHallenges
Goldfinch is a dataset for fine-grained recognition challenges. It contains a list of bird, butterfly, aircraft, and dog categories with relevant Google image search and Flickr search URLs. In addition, it also includes a set of active learning annotations on dog categories. Goldfinch was published along with our ECCV'16 paper The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Noisy Data for Fine-Grained Recognition.
Here we list the files included in this release and their formats. Where possible, we have mapped category names to freebase ids as a form of canonicalization. Questions can be directed to jkrause@google.com and howardzhou@google.com.
Class files
cub_classes.txt:
For each category in the CUB dataset:
CUB class name,freebase id

ATR-72

Image URLs
Compressed version of URL text files. Github has a 100MB file size limit. As a result, we had to split bird_urls into 2 files: bird_urls1, bird_urls2 and compress them separately.
aircraft_urls.txt.7z
bird_urls1.txt.7z
bird_urls2.txt.7z
dog_urls.txt.7z
lepidoptera_urls.txt.7z
For each image search image:
freebase id (or category name for aircraft),urls
Note that if more than one url is given, that indicates the same image is hosted at more than one url, which we provide for convenience in case one of the urls goes down. Where possible, we have provided links to full resolution images, but when not possible a link to a thumbnail is provided.
E.g.
"Airbus A330-300",http://cdn1.airplane-pictures.net/images/uploaded-images/2011/10/12/162077.jpg,http://parvaneganup.ir/images/6uhb245d7xyce2osaol3.jpg
"lockheed c 5 galaxy",http://www.davidandivy.co.uk/images/ac1_lockheed_c5a_galaxy.jpg
"breda ba 88",http://www.slitherine.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1535
...
flickr_{aircraft,bird,lepidoptera}.txt:
For each image in the Flickr testing set:
