How to Load and Visualize Standard Computer Vision Datasets With Keras

Last Updated on July 5, 2019

It can be convenient to use a standard computer vision dataset when getting started with deep learning methods for computer vision.

Standard datasets are often well understood, small, and easy to load. They can provide the basis for testing techniques and reproducing results in order to build confidence with libraries and methods.

In this tutorial, you will discover the standard computer vision datasets provided with the Keras deep learning library.

After completing this tutorial, you will know:

• The API and idioms for downloading standard computer vision datasets using Keras.
• The structure, nature, and top results for the MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 computer vision datasets.
• How to load and visualize standard computer vision datasets using the Keras API.

Kick-start your project with my new book Deep Learning for Computer Vision, including step-by-step tutorials and the Python source code files for all examples.
