What’s Included

Introducing the Tamil Newspaper, Books, and Magazine Image Dataset - a diverse and comprehensive collection of images meticulously curated to propel the advancement of text recognition and optical character recognition (OCR) models designed specifically for the Tamil language.

Dataset Contain & Diversity:

Containing a total of 5000 images, this Tamil OCR dataset offers an equal distribution across newspapers, books, and magazines. Within, you'll find a diverse collection of content, including articles, advertisements, cover pages, headlines, call outs, and author sections from a variety of newspapers, books, and magazines. Images in this dataset showcases distinct fonts, writing formats, colors, designs, and layouts.

To ensure the diversity of the dataset and to build robust text recognition model we allow limited (less than five) unique images from a single resource. Stringent measures have been taken to exclude any personal identifiable information (PII), and in each image a minimum of 80% space is contain visible Tamil text.

Images have been captured under varying lighting conditions – both day and night – along with different capture angles and backgrounds, further enhancing dataset diversity. The collection features images in portrait and landscape modes.

All these images were captured by native Tamil people to ensure the text quality, avoid toxic content and PII text. We used latest iOS and android mobile devices above 5MP camera to click all these images to maintain the image quality. In this training dataset images are available in both JPEG and HEIC formats.

Metadata:

Along with the image data you will also receive detailed structured metadata in CSV format. For each image it includes metadata like device information, source type like newspaper, magazine or book image, and image type like portrait or landscape etc. Each image is properly renamed corresponding to the metadata.

The metadata serves as a valuable tool for understanding and characterizing the data, facilitating informed decision-making in the development of Tamil text recognition models.

Update & Custom Collection:

We're committed to expanding this dataset by continuously adding more images with the assistance of our native Tamil crowd community.

If you require a custom dataset tailored to your guidelines or specific device distribution, feel free to contact us. We're equipped to curate specialized data to meet your unique needs.

Furthermore, we can annotate or label the images with bounding box or transcribe the text in the image to align with your specific requirements using our crowd community.

Conclusion:

Leverage the power of this image dataset to elevate the training and performance of text recognition, text detection, and optical character recognition models within the realm of the Tamil language. Your journey to enhanced language understanding and processing starts here.
