# Datasets Overview

Ultralytics provides support for various datasets to facilitate computer vision tasks such as detection, instance segmentation, pose estimation, classification, and multi-object tracking. Below is a list of the main Ultralytics datasets, followed by a summary of each computer vision task and the respective datasets.

## [Detection Datasets](detect/index.md)

Bounding box object detection is a computer vision technique that involves detecting and localizing objects in an image by drawing a bounding box around each object.

- [Argoverse](detect/argoverse.md): A dataset containing 3D tracking and motion forecasting data from urban environments with rich annotations.
- [COCO](detect/coco.md): A large-scale dataset designed for object detection, segmentation, and captioning with over 200K labeled images.
- [COCO8](detect/coco8.md): Contains the first 4 images from COCO train and COCO val, suitable for quick tests.
- [Global Wheat 2020](detect/globalwheat2020.md): A dataset of wheat head images collected from around the world for object detection and localization tasks.
- [Objects365](detect/objects365.md): A high-quality, large-scale dataset for object detection with 365 object categories and over 600K annotated images.
- [OpenImagesV7](detect/open-images-v7.md): A comprehensive dataset by Google with 1.7M train images and 42k validation images.

## [Instance Segmentation Datasets](segment/index.md)

Instance segmentation is a computer vision technique that involves identifying and localizing objects in an image at the pixel level.

- [COCO](segment/coco.md): A large-scale dataset designed for object detection, segmentation, and captioning tasks with over 200K labeled images.
- [COCO8-seg](segment/coco8-seg.md): A smaller dataset for instance segmentation tasks, containing a subset of 8 COCO images with segmentation annotations.

## [Pose Estimation](pose/index.md)

Pose estimation is a technique used to determine the pose of the object relative to the camera or the world coordinate system.

- [COCO](pose/coco.md): A large-scale dataset with human pose annotations designed for pose estimation tasks.
- [COCO8-pose](pose/coco8-pose.md): A smaller dataset for pose estimation tasks, containing a subset of 8 COCO images with human pose annotations.
