Dustbin vs. Not Dustbin Image Dataset
Dataset Summary
A small binary image classification dataset for predicting whether an image contains a dustbin/trash can.
has_dustbin = 1: dustbin visiblehas_dustbin = 0: no dustbin visible- 30+ original photographs
- Images resized to 224 × 224 RGB
Data Collection
Original photographs were captured by the author and organized into dustbin/ and not_dustbin/ folders. No people, faces, or sensitive personal information are intentionally included.
Preprocessing & Augmentation
Original images are split into approximately 70% train, 15% validation, and 15% test using stratification by label.
The training split is augmented with 300 synthetic images using label-preserving transformations:
- Rotation (±20°)
- Horizontal flip
- Brightness and contrast adjustments
- Gaussian noise
- Random zoom/crop
Augmentation is applied only to training images. Validation and test images remain unchanged.
Splits
Intended Use
Educational use for practicing image classification, dataset construction, augmentation, and machine-learning workflows.
Limitations
The dataset is small and reflects a limited range of environments, cameras, lighting conditions, and dustbin types. Validation and test metrics may therefore be noisy, and models trained on this dataset may have limited real-world generalization.

AI Usage Disclosure
AI assistance (Claude, Anthropic) was used to develop the notebook, including data loading, preprocessing, splitting, augmentation, and Hugging Face dataset construction. The real photographs and their labels were supplied by the author. The optional demo-image generator is not part of the final dataset.
