Visual Bank Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Saneyuki Nagai), through its subsidiary amanaimages Inc., has launched a new dataset under its AI training data solution, Qlean Dataset: the Japanese Park Image Dataset.
This dataset is designed for research and development in computer vision fields such as image recognition, object detection, and scene understanding.

The dataset consists of images captured across public parks throughout Japan, focusing primarily on areas equipped with playground facilities such as slides, swings, and composite play structures. In addition to playground equipment, the images include broader park environments featuring trees, sandy ground, and paved walkways.
The dataset covers a wide range of locations, from urban parks to those in residential areas, enabling the use of visual data derived from everyday public spaces as training material.

The images capture structural elements and background information characteristic of public park environments, making the dataset suitable for model evaluation that assumes outdoor object placement and spatial configurations.
Each image is accompanied by metadata, allowing developers and researchers to filter and organize the data according to specific conditions and use cases when integrating it into AI development workflows.

Qlean Dataset provides training data with rights and usage conditions carefully organized, supporting development phases ranging from academic research to commercial applications.
This dataset is offered as data that enables model evaluation under conditions close to real-world environments, supporting the development of vision AI systems targeting public spaces.

Dataset Specifications

Use Case Examples for the “Japanese Parks Image Dataset”

Research Use Cases 

• Research on Public Space Scene Understanding Models
  The dataset can be used for research on image recognition models that perform scene classification and spatial structure understanding in outdoor public spaces, including parks. It supports the analysis of visual characteristics in urban environments and the evaluation of environmental perception methods.

 Industrial Use Cases 

• Evaluation of Outdoor Image Recognition and Object Detection Models
  For smart city-related services and outdoor AI camera systems, the dataset can be used to evaluate the accuracy of object detection and background recognition models assuming park environments. It enables model assessment under conditions close to actual public spaces.

 Other Practical Applications 

• Hands-On Training Using Real-World Data in AI Education
  In computer vision education, the dataset can be used as teaching material for exercises and model development using real public space images. It is suitable for providing learning opportunities that involve handling real-world environmental data.
