cs-chan/Exclusively-Dark-Image-Dataset

Exclusively Dark (ExDARK) dataset which to the best of our knowledge, is the largest collection of low-light images taken in very low-light environments to twilight (i.e 10 different conditions) to-date with image class and object level annotations.

Established

This dataset provides a large collection of images captured in diverse low-light conditions, from twilight to very dark environments. It includes both overall image classifications and precise bounding box annotations for 12 common object types. Researchers and developers working on computer vision tasks will use this to train and evaluate models that need to recognize objects or enhance images in challenging lighting.

618 stars.

Use this if you are developing or testing algorithms for object detection or image enhancement that must perform reliably in low-light conditions.

Not ideal if your project focuses on well-lit environments or requires annotations for object classes beyond the 12 provided.
