Why is it important?

Product recognition is an urgent problem for Computer Vision due to the wide variety of products and their visual similarity, that currently lacking in high-quality and diverse datasets for training. The existing datasets with product images are either too small or contain quite a noisy markup.

However, recently there was published an article at Arxiv, called “Products-10K: A Large-scale Product Recognition Dataset” that turns to be a new state-of-the-art dataset for solving an object recognition issue for product images. Products-10K consists of 10,000 product categories that are frequently purchased by user at chinese shop JD.com

Dataset desctiption

Images in Product-10K were collected from online store photos and user images. Users attached images to comments on a purchased product.
