ManyNames is a large scale resource of human object naming data. ManyNames provides on average 31 name annotations for 25K objects in real world images. The images for ManyNames were selected from VisualGenome. In each image, one target object is marked with a red bounding box. Annotators were asked to provide the first name that came to mind for the object tightly bound by this bounding box.
