The iNatLoc500 Dataset

The iNaturalist Localization 500 (iNatLoc500) dataset is a large-scale fine-grained dataset for weakly supervised object localization (WSOL). This dataset was released as part of the paper On Label Granularity and Object Localization (ECCV 2022).

Splits

Each image in the val and test splits has been checked to ensure that exactly one instance of the species of interest is present and that the bounding box is accurate. Full details on the dataset construction process can be found in the paper.

Label Hierarchy

iNatLoc500 is equipped with a label hierarchy based on the biological tree of life. The levels of the label hierarchy are (from finest to coarsest): species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom. Since all of the species in iNatLoc500 are animals, the kingdom level has only one node (Animalia). The iNatLoc500 dataset can be labeled at any level of the label hierarchy. For convenience we provide metadata files for each level of the label hierarchy, as described here.

Instructions for downloading the dataset can be found here.

Extras

• class_mappings: Files that identify correspondences between classes in different datasets.
• source_image_mappings: Files that link iNatLoc500 images to their sources in iNat17 and iNat21.
