Oracle Bone Script (OBS), one of the earliest known forms of ancient Chinese writing, holds invaluable insights into the humanities and geography of the Shang Dynasty, dating back 3,000 years. The immense historical and cultural significance of these writings cannot be overstated. However, the passage of time has obscured much of their meaning, presenting a significant challenge in deciphering these ancient texts. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), employing AI to assist in interpreting OBS has become a feasible option. Yet, progress in this area has been hindered by a lack of high-quality datasets. To address this issue, this paper details the creation of the HUST-OBS dataset. This dataset encompasses 77,064 images of 1,588 individual deciphered scripts and 62,989 images of 9,411 undeciphered characters, with a total of 140,053 images, compiled from diverse sources. Additionally, all images and labels have been reviewed and corrected by experts in oracle bone studies. The hope is that this dataset could inspire and assist future research in deciphering those unknown OBS.
