The custom plankton dataset is a subset of the WHOI-Plankton [1] for classification algorithm evaluation. This subset of the WHOI-Plankton dataset contains 79 categories with 33,517 images for training and 8,345 images for testing. In this custom plankton dataset, each image has a resolution ranging from 50 to 1000 in height and width, due to the varying sizes of the plankton. Each image is a grayscale image with a single channel and contains only one class of object.
