skimage2.data.coins

skimage2.data.coins()

Greek coins from Pompeii.

This image shows several coins outlined against a gray background. It is especially useful in, e.g. segmentation tests, where individual objects need to be identified against a background. The background shares enough grey levels with the coins that a simple segmentation is not sufficient.

Returns:

coinsndarray of shape (303, 384) and dtype uint8
