N-Caltech 101 (Neuromorphic-Caltech101)

Introduced in Converting Static Image Datasets to Spiking Neuromorphic Datasets Using Saccades28 Jul 2015 archive 2025-07-28

The Neuromorphic-Caltech101 (N-Caltech101) dataset is a spiking version of the original frame-based Caltech101 dataset. The original dataset contained both a "Faces" and "Faces Easy" class, with each consisting of different versions of the same images. The "Faces" class has been removed from N-Caltech101 to avoid confusion, leaving 100 object classes plus a background class. The N-Caltech101 dataset was captured by mounting the ATIS sensor on a motorized pan-tilt unit and having the sensor move while it views Caltech101 examples on an LCD monitor as shown in the video below. A full description of the dataset and how it was created can be found in the paper below. Please cite this paper if you make use of the dataset.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

6 shown of 6 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 110. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
