6 MNIST Image Datasets That Data Scientists Should Be Aware Of (With Python Implementation)

In Computer Vision, specifically, Image processing has become more efficient with the use of deep learning algorithms. To show the performance of these neural networks some basic preprocessed datasets were built, namely the MNIST and its variants such as KMNIST, QKMNIST, EMNIST, binarized MNIST and 3D MNIST. Ever since these datasets were built, it has been popular amongst beginners and researchers. In today's article, we'll be talking about the very basic and primarily the most curated datasets used for deep learning in computer vision. MNIST(Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology) database contains handwritten digits.
