News

2017-05-19 First release of CFSDB.

Description

CFSDB mainly focuses on the data-driven car frontal styling analysis task, thus contains the car images form the frontal view with the styling ROI, i.e. the union area of headlights, the grille, and the bumper. Because of the different aspect ratios of styling ROI between sedan and SUV, two datasets are built accordingly. The sedan dataset contains 4726 models corresponding to 22 car brands, and the SUV dataset contains 2441 models corresponding to 21 car brands. The selected car brands are high ranking in the sales of the Chinese automobile market, and all the car models collected are mainly produced after 2005. All the car images are downloaded from the Internet and are manually processed, including the styling ROI extraction, background removal and car plate removal. In each dataset, the car images are classified into different folders according to their brands.

The CFSDB is well prepared for car styling analysis and other fine-grained categorization tasks.
