Cultural Heritage Images of Palmyra (CHIoP) Dataset

The Cultural Heritage Images of Palmyra (CHIoP) dataset introduces a curated collection of 432 images representing four key cultural heritage regions in Palmyra, Syria: Baalshamin, Palmyra Theater, Temple of Bel, and Tetrapylon. This dataset, compiled through text-based scraping from Flickr with subsequent manual filtering, serves as a valuable resource for researchers in computer vision, enabling the testing of advanced image classification and object detection techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, or transfer learning. The structured categorization ensures high relevance to specific heritage sites, making it an essential tool for developing and validating AI models aimed at preserving cultural heritage through digital means.
