For Species 20k Dev Classification

This dataset provides real-world images of diverse tree species collected using point cloud sensors in natural forest environments. It offers a comprehensive visual resource for developing and evaluating computer vision models in ecological and forestry applications. The dataset contains 17,707 images across 33 classes: Abies_alba, Acer_campestre, Acer_pseudoplatanus, Acer_saccharum, Betula_pendula, Carpinus_betulus, Corylus_avellana, Crataegus_monogyna, Eucalyptus_miniata, Euonymus_europaeus, Fagus_sylvatica, Fraxinus_angustifolia, Fraxinus_excelsior, Larix_decidua, Picea_abies, Picea_glauca, Pinus_contorta, Pinus_nigra, Pinus_pinaster, Pinus_radiata, Pinus_resinosa, Pinus_sylvestris, Populus_deltoides, Populus_tremuloides, Prunus_avium, Pseudotsuga_menziesii, Quercus_faginea, Quercus_ilex, Quercus_petraea, Quercus_robur, Quercus_rubra, Tilia_cordata, Ulmus_laevis.
