The orchid flower dataset was selected from the northern part of Thailand. The dataset contains Thai native orchid flowers, and each class contains at least 20 samples. The orchid dataset including 52 species and the visual characteristics of the flower are varying in terms of shape, color, texture, size, and the other parts of the orchid plant like a leaf, inflorescence, roots, and surroundings. All images are taken from many devices such as a digital camera, a mobile phone, and other equipment. The orchids dataset contains 3,559 images from 52 categories.
Smartphone has been one of the most popular digital devices in the past decades, with more than 300 million smartphones sold every quarter in the world wide. Most of the smartphone vendors, such as Apple, Huawei, Samsung, launch their new flagship smartphones every year. People use smartphone cameras to shoot selfie photos, film scenery or events, and record videos of family and friends. The specifications of smartphone camera and the quality of taken pictures are major criteria for consumer to select and buy smartphones.
Wide varieties of scripts are used in writing languages throughout the world. In a multiscript and multi-language environment, it is necessary to know the different scripts used in every part of a document to apply the appropriate document analysis algorithm. Consequently, several approaches for automatic script identification have been proposed in the literature, and can be broadly classified under two categories of techniques: those that are structure and visual appearance-based and those that are deep learning-based.
