There was no predefined dataset of party symbols to be usedas a benchmark. We curated a dataset from various nationaland regional websites owned by the ECI. The dataset consists of symbols (image files) of 49 National and State registered parties approved by the ECI. For each image of theoriginal party symbol, 18 different distortions and transformations were created as variations to the training data. Each image is of the dimension 180 x 180. The final labeled dataset consists of 931 images of party symbols with their corresponding party names as the labels.
