# Dataset Card for Curated Gold Standard Cuthill Dataset

## Dataset Description
Dorsal full body images of subspecies of Heliconius Erato and Heliconius Melpomene (18 subspecies total).
960 images with 320 specimens, each photographed in RGB with bird and butterfly acuity included (3 images of each specimen).
Processed from Cuthill, et. al. dataset available at [doi:10.5061/dryad.2hp1978](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.2hp1978).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Type: PNG
Size: 128px x 128px
Background: [210, 210, 210] (gray)
Fit in frame: Most padding is above and below the image, some on the left and right.
Ruler or Scale: None
Color (ColorChecker, white-balance, None): None


### Data Fields

**In Hoyal_Cuthill_GoldStandard_metadata_cleaned.csv:**

* 'NHM_Specimen': Natural History Museum Specimen number
* 'Image_filename': filename of image of specimen
* 'View': whether ventral or dorsal view of specimen (all dorsal)
* 'Species': species of specimen (melpomene or erato)
* 'Subspecies': subspecies of the specimen
* 'Sex': sex of the specimen (male or female)
* 'addit_taxa_info': additional taxonomic information (subspecies)
* 'type_stat': [More Information Needed] 'ST', 'PT', or 'HT', but mostly null
* 'hybrid_stat': hybrid status ('valid subspecies', 'subspecies synonym' or 'unknown' (only 1))
* 'in_reduced': [More Information Needed] 0 or 1 to indicate yes or no
* 'locality': [More Information Needed] location of collection or picture
* 'lat': latitude [More Information Needed] location of collection or picture
* 'lon': longitude [More Information Needed] location of collection or picture
* 'speciesdesig': species designation, first initial of species '.' subspecies (eg., 'm. rosina')

Train_Test_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv has three additional columns:
* `Image_filename_png`: filename of (png) image of specimen, `dorsal_images_cuthill/` + `<Image_filename_png>` is the filepath for the processed dorsal image
* `subset`: whether this is part of the training or test set (`train` or `test`)
* `filepath`: the filepath for the train or test image

Acuity_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv also has `Image_filename_png` and `subset`, but `subset` references the bird and butterfly acuity training and test sets. Additionally, it has columns:
`bird_filepath`: the filepath for the bird acuity version of the image
`butterfly_filepath`: the filepath for the butterfly acuity version of the image


### Data Splits

## Dataset Creation

Processing steps included:
1. Hybrid Separation
2. Label Correction
3. Removal of subspecies with no mimic pairs
4. Make background uniform across all images
5. Make image square via padding
