`skimage.data._fetchers:coins`

source: /dev/scikit-image/src/skimage/data/_fetchers.py :717

Signature

def coins ( )

Summary

Greek coins from Pompeii.

Extended Summary

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

coins : ndarray of shape (303, 384) and dtype uint8: Coins image.
