Filtered Butterfly Images Selected via CLIP

Comprising a filtered subset of the iNaturalist butterfly images. Images were selected using CLIP to compare each image with a text description of a good image. The original dataset is from the huggan/inat_butterflies repository.

Use Cases

• Fine-tune a vision model on the filtered images for butterfly species classification.
• Train a CLIP model to understand the relationship between the selected images and their descriptive text prompts.
• Analyze the visual features that correlate with the CLIP-based 'good image' selection criteria.
• Use the filtered image collection as a benchmark for image quality assessment algorithms.

Strengths

• Images were filtered using CLIP to select for higher quality based on a text description.
• The dataset is part of the iNaturalist collection, a known source for biodiversity imagery.

Limitations

• The exact number of images, file formats, and resolution are unknown.
• Image licensing varies and some may have restrictive licenses like CC-BY-NC-ND.
• The dataset was last updated in April 2022, which may limit temporal relevance.
