When learning Computer Vision, particularly the training of DNNs and CNNs to recognize and classify images, there is often a dearth of good datasets. Consequently, you tend to see the same old datasets repeatedly. Therefore, I wanted to fix that problem.
First, I wanted a dataset that could be used for teaching binary classifiers, offering something unique and distinct from existing datasets. Additionally, I wanted to see if I could use Photoreal CGI to train a neural network that could then recognize and classify real images with the same subject matter. As a result, the Horses-v-Humans dataset was created.
