DIDA is a new image-based historical handwritten digit dataset and collected from the Swedish historical handwritten document images between the year 1800 and 1940. It is the largest historical handwritten digit dataset which is introduced to the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) community to help the researchers to test their optical handwritten character recognition methods. To generate DIDA, 250,000 single digits and 200,000 multi-digits are cropped from 75,000 different document images. 

We present a 4D Light Field (LF) video dataset collected by the camera matrix, to be used for designing and testing algorithms and systems for LF video coding and processing. For collecting these videos, a 10x10 LF capture matrix composed of 100 cameras is designed and implemented, and the resolution of each camera is 1920x1056. The videos are taken in real and varying illumination conditions. The dataset contains a total of nine groups of LF videos, of which eight groups are collected with a fixed camera matrix position and a fixed orientation.

The dermoscopic images considered in the paper "Dermoscopic Image Classification with Neural Style Transfer" are available for public download through the ISIC database (https://www.isic-archive.com/#!/topWithHeader/wideContentTop/main). These are 24-bit JPEG images with a typical resolution of 768 × 512 pixels. However, not all the images in the database are in satisfactory condition.

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is currently the gold standard in COVID-19 diagnosis. It can, however, take days to provide the diagnosis, and false negative rate is relatively high. Imaging, in particular chest computed tomography (CT), can assist with diagnosis and assessment of this disease. Nevertheless, it is shown that standard dose CT scan gives significant radiation burden to patients, especially those in need of multiple scans.
