# Dataset Card for QUEST Fish 2024

Images of fish  collected from bodies of water near  Princeton University.   

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [QUEST 2024](https://teacherprep.princeton.edu/quest2024)


## Dataset Structure

<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->


```
/dataset/
    <species_1>/
        <img_id 1>.png
        <img_id 2>.png
        ...
        <img_id n>.png
    <species_2>/
        <img_id 1>.png
        <img_id 2>.png
        ...
        <img_id n>.png
    ...
    <species_N>/
        <img_id 1>.png
        <img_id 2>.png
        ...
        <img_id n>.png
    metadata.csv
```


### Data Instances

All images are named <img_id>.png or .jpeg, each within a folder named for the species. The pictures were taken from a variety of phones and were not standardized in any way. 

### Data Fields
[More Information Needed]
<!--
Describe the types of the data files or the columns in a CSV with metadata.

Ex: 
**metadata.csv**:
  - `img_id`: Unique identifier for the dataset. 
  - `specimen_id`: ID of specimen in the image, provided by museum data source. There are multiple images of a single specimen.
  - `species`: Species of the specimen in the image. There are N different species of <genus> of <animal>.
  - `view`: View of the specimen in the image (e.g., `ventral` or `dorsal` OR `top` or `bottom`, etc.; specify options where reasonable).
  - `file_name`: Relative path to image from the root of the directory (`<species>/<img_id>.png`); allows for image to be displayed in the dataset viewer alongside its associated metadata.
-->



## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

These images are merged with meta data collected from teachers so that they experience life as an ecologist, where fish are the subject and measurements are taken from the fish.  Measurements are taken by hand about the fish and surrounding areas.
