How to get UCID dataset?

Currently, I am working on image based reversible data hiding. In my base paper, the authors have used the test images from UCID dataset. To compare my technique with the existing ones I need to have same images. In previous papers, the authors have mentioned the links but currently, those are not working. So please give me a way to get that images.

This is not a MATLAB question.

It appears that the link is at http://www-staff.lboro.ac.uk/~cogs/datasets/UCID/ucid.html . However I find that at the moment that entire web site is slow to respond. You might need to try again in a few days.

Sir, sorry for the delay. Actually I have tried to download the images using the link but it is not opening.

[Walter Roberson]

At one time the database was at http://homepages.lboro.ac.uk/~cogs/datasets/ucid/ucid.html but that is having the same problem (it might even perhaps resolve to the same location as above.)

[Walter Roberson]

Also at one time the location was http://vision.cs.aston.ac.uk/datasets/UCID/data/ucid.v2.tar.gz but that site is not accessible.

Oh oh... it looks like their site terminated that service. http://web.archive.org/web/20170607213208/http://homepages.lboro.ac.uk/~cogs/datasets/ucid/data/ucid.v2.tar.gz

You could perhaps pull it from http://jasoncantarella.com/downloads/

Thank you for giving information, sir. This site provided 887 images out of 1338 images. How should I cite the URL in my manuscript.

[Walter Roberson]

Cite as http://jasoncantarella.com/downloads/ucid.v2.tar.gz

This link (http://jasoncantarella.com/downloads/ucid.v2.tar.gz) works but the file seems to be broken. I can extract 886 files only. Should be 1338. Is someone able to provide the complete dataset? Would be amazing :)

Can you download the UCID database now? I have tried the download link many times, but it is still not working.

[Shaik Ahmad]

Yeah I think the link is not working. I also tried to download using the link but it is not reachable.

[Salim Zrouga]

hi , did you solve the problem ?

This is one link I found it working: Unofficial link to UCID dataset (Accessed date: 10th May 2023)

Please cite the original paper of the dataset as:

Gerald Schaefer, Michal Stich, "UCID: an uncompressed color image database," Proc. SPIE 5307, Storage and Retrieval Methods and Applications for Multimedia 2004, (18 December 2003); https://doi.org/10.1117/12.525375
