FGVC-Aircraft

Introduced by Subhransu Maji et al. in Fine-Grained Visual Classification of Aircraft1 Jan 2013 archive 2025-07-28

FGVC-Aircraft contains 10,200 images of aircraft, with 100 images for each of 102 different aircraft model variants, most of which are airplanes. The (main) aircraft in each image is annotated with a tight bounding box and a hierarchical airplane model label. Aircraft models are organized in a four-levels hierarchy. The four levels, from finer to coarser, are:

  • Model, e.g. Boeing 737-76J. Since certain models are nearly visually indistinguishable, this level is not used in the evaluation.
  • Variant, e.g. Boeing 737-700. A variant collapses all the models that are visually indistinguishable into one class. The dataset comprises 102 different variants.
  • Family, e.g. Boeing 737. The dataset comprises 70 different families.
  • Manufacturer, e.g. Boeing. The dataset comprises 41 different manufacturers. The data is divided into three equally-sized training, validation and test subsets.

30 shown of 74 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 520. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
