Sprites (2D Video Game Character Sprites)

Introduced by Scott E. Reed et al. in Deep Visual Analogy-Making1 Dec 2015 archive 2025-07-28

The Sprites dataset contains 60 pixel color images of animated characters (sprites). There are 672 sprites, 500 for training, 100 for testing and 72 for validation. Each sprite has 20 animations and 178 images, so the full dataset has 120K images in total. There are many changes in the appearance of the sprites, they differ in their body shape, gender, hair, armor, arm type, greaves, and weapon.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

2 shown of 2 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 52. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
