Oxford-IIIT Pet Datasets

oxfordiiitpet_dataset(
  root = tempdir(),
  train = TRUE,
  transform = NULL,
  target_transform = NULL,
  download = FALSE
)

oxfordiiitpet_binary_dataset(
  root = tempdir(),
  train = TRUE,
  transform = NULL,
  target_transform = NULL,
  download = FALSE
)

Arguments

root

Character. Root directory where the dataset is stored or will be downloaded to. Files are placed under root/oxfordiiitpet.

train

Logical. If TRUE, use the training set; otherwise, use the test set. Not applicable to all datasets.

transform

Optional. A function that takes an image and returns a transformed version (e.g., normalization, cropping).

target_transform

Optional. A function that transforms the label.

download

Logical. If TRUE, downloads the dataset to root/. If the dataset is already present, download is skipped.

Value

A torch dataset object oxfordiiitpet_dataset or oxfordiiitpet_binary_dataset. Each element is a named list with:

• x: A H x W x 3 integer array representing an RGB image.

• y: An integer label:

  • For oxfordiiitpet_dataset: a value from 1–37 representing the breed.

  • For oxfordiiitpet_binary_dataset: 1 for Cat, 2 for Dog.

Details

The Oxford-IIIT Pet collection is a classification dataset consisting of high-quality images of 37 cat and dog breeds. It includes two variants:

• oxfordiiitpet_dataset: Multi-class classification across 37 pet breeds.

• oxfordiiitpet_binary_dataset: Binary classification distinguishing cats vs dogs.

The Oxford-IIIT Pet dataset contains over 7,000 images across 37 categories, with roughly 200 images per class. Each image is labeled with its breed and species (cat/dog).
