Download of Places 205 Database.

Here we release the data used to train the Places-CNN in our NIPS'14 paper. There are around 2.5 million images from 205 scene categories. 100 images per category for validation set and 200 images for test set.

We prepare two sets of Places 205 Database: the compressed file of full-sized images (1.8TB) and the compressed file of resized 256*256 images (143GB). If you are only interested in training CNNs, we highly suggest you to download the resized version only.

Here are the links for each files:
