SKU-110k Dataset

The SKU-110k dataset is a collection of densely packed retail shelf images, designed to support research in object detection tasks. Developed by Eran Goldman et al., the dataset contains over 110,000 unique store keeping unit (SKU) categories with densely packed objects, often looking similar or even identical, positioned in close proximity.

Dataset Structure

The SKU-110k dataset is organized into three main subsets:

1. Training set: This subset contains images and annotations used for training object detection models.
2. Validation set: This subset consists of images and annotations used for model validation during training.
3. Test set: This subset is designed for the final evaluation of trained object detection models.

Applications

The SKU-110k dataset is widely used for training and evaluating deep learning models in object detection tasks, especially in densely packed scenes such as retail shelf displays. The dataset's diverse set of SKU categories and densely packed object arrangements make it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of computer vision.

Dataset YAML

A YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) file is used to define the dataset configuration. It contains information about the dataset's paths, classes, and other relevant information. For the case of the SKU-110K dataset, the SKU-110K.yaml file is maintained at https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/SKU-110K.yaml.
