This is an open access photographic dataset collected for testing image processing algorithms. The idea is to have sets of identical photos with varying image noise. The images show playing cards. The dataset consists of seven high-resolution black and white images of playing cards in TIFF file format (*.tif files) with varying noise . Also included are nine MATLAB files to process the data (*.m files). Documentation of the dataset is available at arxiv.org/abs/1701.07354. See also www.fips.fi/photographic_dataset.php. Example usage in MATLAB: im = imread('im_clean.tif'); im = double(im); % Converting to floating point data The data is collected at the Industrial Mathematics Laboratory of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of University of Helsinki.
