Cat-faces-dataset Overview

Basic Dataset Information

• Number of Images: Approximately 29,843
• Image Size: 64 × 64 pixels

Data Sources

The dataset consists of the following open datasets:

1. Cats and Dogs Breeds Classification Oxford Dataset
2. Cute Cats and Dogs from Pixabay.com
3. Cat Dataset
4. COCO dataset
5. Cats faces 64x64 (For generative models)

Data Preprocessing

• Applied OpenCV’s cat‑face detector to ensure each image contains only a cat face.
• The Cat Dataset was processed twice to include partial background.
• The Cats faces 64x64 dataset required no preprocessing, as cat faces were already cropped.
• Visual inspection was used to remove false‑positive cat‑face images.
