This is a copy of the test set of the UCI ML hand-written digits datasets
|
|
https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Optical+Recognition+of+Handwritten+Digits
|
|
|
|
The data set contains images of hand-written digits: 10 classes where
|
|
each class refers to a digit.
|
|
|
|
Preprocessing programs made available by NIST were used to extract
|
|
normalized bitmaps of handwritten digits from a preprinted form. From a
|
|
total of 43 people, 30 contributed to the training set and different 13
|
|
to the test set. 32x32 bitmaps are divided into nonoverlapping blocks of
|
|
4x4 and the number of on pixels are counted in each block. This generates
|
|
an input matrix of 8x8 where each element is an integer in the range
|
|
0..16. This reduces dimensionality and gives invariance to small
|
|
distortions.
