Download - ObjectNet

ObjectNet is available as a 184GB zip file containing all of the images formatted as high resolution PNGs. https://objectnet.dev/downloads/objectnet-1.0.zip

We also have a backup at https://www.dropbox.com/s/raw/cxeztdtm16nzvuw/objectnet-1.0.zip that may occasionally run out of bandwidth.

The zip file has a password to ensure that everyone is aware of our unusual license. The password is: objectnetisatestset

Get in touch if you are using it, we would love to hear about you reserach. Feel free to reach out if you are having any difficulties using ObjectNet.

How do I recognize if an image is in ObjectNet?

As training sets become huge, the risk that test and training sets overlap is serious. We provide ObjectNet with a 1 pixel red border around each image which must be removed before performing inference. The ObjectNet license requires that if you post images from ObjectNet to the web, you include this border. Any time you see an image with a solid 1 pixel red border, that's an indication it's in someone's test set and you should be careful about training on it. Reverse image search will allow you to figure out which test set it is from.
