Dataset Card for PIRM

Dataset Summary

The PIRM dataset consists of 200 images, which are divided into two equal sets for validation and testing. These images cover diverse contents, including people, objects, environments, flora, natural scenery, etc. Images vary in size, and are typically ~300K pixels in resolution.

This dataset was first used for evaluating the perceptual quality of super-resolution algorithms in The 2018 PIRM challenge on Perceptual Super-resolution, in conjunction with ECCV 2018.

Install with pip :

pip install datasets super-image

Evaluate a model with the super-image library:

from datasets import load_dataset
from super_image import EdsrModel
from super_image.data import EvalDataset, EvalMetrics

dataset = load_dataset('eugenesiow/PIRM', 'bicubic_x2', split='validation')
eval_dataset = EvalDataset(dataset)
model = EdsrModel.from_pretrained('eugenesiow/edsr-base', scale=2)
EvalMetrics().evaluate(model, eval_dataset)

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset is commonly used for evaluation of the image-super-resolution task.

Unofficial super-image leaderboard for:

• Scale 2
• Scale 3
• Scale 4
• Scale 8

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

An example of validation for bicubic_x2 looks as follows.

{
    "hr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/PIRM_valid_HR/1.png",
    "lr": "/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/PIRM_valid_LR_x2/1.png"
}

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

• hr : a string to the path of the High Resolution (HR) .png image.
• lr : a string to the path of the Low Resolution (LR) .png image.

Data Splits
