PairCams: 730 Smartphone and Digital Camera Image Pairs

730 pairs of images depict the same subject, with one photo captured by a smartphone and the other by an older digital camera. The dataset was curated by Ryan Ramos, Vladan Stojnic, Giorgos Kordopatis-Zilos, Yuta Nakashima, Giorgos Tolias, and Noa Garcia. It was last updated on 2025-12-16.

Use Cases

• Train models for image quality assessment based on device-captured pairs.
• Develop domain adaptation algorithms for images from different camera sources.
• Conduct perceptual studies on image characteristics across capture devices.
• Benchmark image-to-image translation models using paired data from different sensors.

Strengths

• 730 image pairs provide a controlled comparison of the same subject.
• Pairs are explicitly captured by two distinct device types: smartphones and older digital cameras.
• Dataset was funded by JSPS KAKENHI and JST CREST grants, indicating academic support.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The specific subjects, camera models, and capture conditions are not detailed in the provided metadata.
