02 / THE COLLECTION

EVERYDAY
THINGS.

Useful visual data does not always look extraordinary.

A street, a shop, a plate, a package, a tool, a vehicle or an object on a desk can all provide useful information about the world around us.

Dabbies works with contributors to capture authentic visual examples that reflect real environments and everyday life.

03 / WHAT WE COLLECT

THE WORLD
AS IT IS.

Image tasks can focus on different types of real-world visual information depending on the requirements of a dataset.

01

EVERYDAY OBJECTS

Photographs of ordinary objects and items found in homes, workplaces, streets and other everyday environments.

OBJECTS
02

PLACES & ENVIRONMENTS

Visual examples of real environments, surroundings and locations where people actually live and work.

PLACES
03

PRODUCTS & PACKAGING

Images of physical products, containers, labels and packaging encountered in everyday situations.

PRODUCTS
04

REAL-WORLD SCENES

Carefully collected scenes that represent how objects and environments appear in real conditions.

CONTEXT
04 / WHY IMAGES MATTER
VISUAL INFORMATION

A PHOTO
CAN HOLD
A LOT.

Images show technology what words sometimes cannot explain.

Visual datasets can help systems understand objects, environments, layouts, colours, shapes and relationships between things.

But a useful dataset needs more than a large number of photographs. It needs variety, consistency and context.

That is where structured human collection becomes important.

05 / THE CONTRIBUTOR

POINT.
FRAME.

Image collection is designed around clear instructions so contributors know what a task requires before submitting.

07 / VISUAL DATA

Every image gives a dataset another view of the physical world.

08 / RESPONSIBILITY

CAPTURE
WITH
CARE.

Real-world photography requires awareness.

Contributors should follow every task's instructions and avoid submitting material that they are not permitted to collect.

When a task involves people, private spaces, sensitive information or restricted locations, the applicable task requirements must be followed carefully.

Dabbies is built around structured collection, review and responsible handling of submitted data.
