Kvasir-Instrument: Diagnostic and therapeutic tool segmentation dataset in gastrointestinal endoscopy ========================== ### [[Preprint]](https://osf.io/s5d48) Gastrointestinal tract (GI) pathologies are periodically screened, biopsied, and resected using surgical tools. However, these biopsied and/or resected areas are not tracked due to which the video analysis for assessing disease burden or the amount of pathology resection remains unknown. To tackle such issues, we have released the “Kvasir-Instrument: Diagnostic and therapeutic tool segmentation dataset in gastrointestinal endoscopy” dataset, which consists of 590 annotated frames comprising of GI procedure tools such as snares, balloons, biopsy forceps, etc. By adding segmentation masks and bounding boxes information to this dataset, we enable the researchers from the field of medical image analysis and computer vision to contribute to the field of automated tool segmentation in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Dataset -------- * **images.tar.gz**: contains 590 endoscopic tool images. * **masks.tar.gz** : contains corresponding 590 mask images. * **files_used_for_training.txt** : List of image file names to train machine learning models. * **files_used_for_testing.txt** : List of image file names to test machine learning models. * **bboxes.json** : contained bounding box values of instruments in each image.
