Introduction #

Muhammad Moazam Fraz, Paolo Remagnino, Andreas Hoppeet al.

The Child Heart and Health Study in England (CHASE), is a cardiovascular health survey across 200 primary schools in London, Birmingham, and Leicester. The retinal imaging was carried out in 46 schools and demonstrated associations between retinal vessel tortuosity and early risk factors for cardiovascular disease in over 1000 British primary school children of different ethnic origin. The retinal images of both of the eyes of each child were recorded with a hand-held Nidek NM-200-D fundus camera. The images were captured at 30 degree field-of-view with a resolution of 1280 × 960 pixels. The dataset of images are characterized by having nonuniform background illumination, poor contrast of blood vessels as compared with the background and wider arteriolars that have a bright strip running down the centre known as the central vessel reflex. This work is based on using a subset of images to create a retinal vessel reference dataset representing multi-ethnic school children known as CHASE_DB1. 28 retinal images are contained, acquired from both eyes of 14 children (8 white, 3 South Asian, 3 of other ethnic origin, mean age 10 years) recruited from one primary school in North-East London. For each image, there are two ground truths images for vessel segmentation made by two independent human observers.

File naming convention:

"01"-"14" = participant number.
"L" = left eye.
"R" = right eye.
"1stHO" = ground truth from first human observer.
"2ndHO" = ground truth from second human observer.

Summary #

CHASE DB1: Retinal Vessel Reference Dataset is a dataset for a semantic segmentation task. It is used in the medical research.

The dataset consists of 28 images with 28 labeled objects belonging to 1 single class (vessel).

Images in the CHASE DB1 dataset have pixel-level semantic segmentation annotations. All images are labeled (i.e. with annotations). There are no pre-defined train/val/test splits in the dataset. The dataset was released in 2012 by the Kingston University, London and St. George’s, University of London.

Here is the visualized example grid with animated annotations:
