# Content SVHN is a real-world image dataset for developing machine learning and object recognition algorithms with minimal requirement on data preprocessing and formatting. It can be seen as similar in flavor to MNIST (e.g., the images are of small cropped digits), but incorporates an order of magnitude more labeled data (over 600,000 digit images) and comes from a significantly harder, unsolved, real world problem (recognizing digits and numbers in natural scene images). SVHN is obtained from house numbers in Google Street View images. The json datasets contain a list of each image with the corresponding bounding boxes for each digit in the image. # Source [The Street View House Numbers (SVHN) Dataset](http://ufldl.stanford.edu/housenumbers/) Please cite the following reference in papers using this dataset: _Yuval Netzer, Tao Wang, Adam Coates, Alessandro Bissacco, Bo Wu, Andrew Y.
