Google Street View house number dataset

A prominent example is Ian Goodfellow's identification of house numbers from Google's Street View dataset. It is required to identify the following:

• How many of up to five digits make up the house number
• The correct digit for each component
• The proper order of the constituent digits

The svhn_preprocessing notebook contains code to produce a simplified, cropped dataset that uses bounding box information to create regularly shaped 32 x 32 images containing the digits; the original images are of arbitrary shape.

The svhn_object_detection notebook illustrates how to build a deep CNN using Keras' functional API to generate multiple outputs: one to predict how many digits are present, and five for the value ...
