Description
BelgaLogos is dedicated to the evaluation of content-based logo retrieval in large picture's collections. The reference dataset is composed of 10,000 images covering all aspects of life and current affairs: politics and economics, finance and social affairs, sports, culture and personalities. Two sets of logo queries are provided additionally (one as bounding boxes in the reference images themselves, one composed of external logo thumbnails).
Quality
All images are in JPEG format and have been re-sized with a maximum value of height and width equal to 800 pixels, preserving aspect ratio.
Source
This dataset was built in the context of the European project VITALAS with the major contribution of BELGA press agency.
Ground Truth Annotation
