Introduction #

Released 2019-07-26 ·Alexey Grishin, BorisV, iBardintsevet al.

The authors of the Severstal: Steel Defect Detection dataset acknowledge that steel holds a paramount position as one of the most vital building materials in modern construction. Its resilience against both natural elements and wear caused by human activities has rendered it indispensable worldwide. In the pursuit of enhancing the efficiency of steel production, the Severstal competition aims to play a pivotal role in the detection of defects within the steel production process.

The intricate process of producing flat sheet steel demands precision and care at every step, from heating and rolling to drying and cutting. Numerous machines come into contact with flat steel before it’s deemed ready for use. At present, Severstal employs images from high-frequency cameras to drive a defect detection algorithm.

In this competition, participants are tasked with aiding engineers in refining this algorithm by localizing and categorizing surface defects on steel sheets.
This competition aims to predict the location and type of defects found in steel manufacturing by segmenting and classifying the defects in the test set.

Each image may have no defects, a defect of a single class, or defects of multiple classes. There are 3 different defect classes.

Summary #

Severstal: Steel Defect Detection 2019 Challenge is a dataset for instance segmentation, semantic segmentation, and object detection tasks. It is used in the surface defect detection domain, and in the manufacturing industry.

The dataset consists of 18074 images with 19958 labeled objects belonging to 4 different classes including defect_3, defect_1, defect_4, and other: defect_2.

Images in the Severstal dataset have pixel-level instance segmentation annotations. Due to the nature of the instance segmentation task, it can be automatically transformed into a semantic segmentation (only one mask for every class) or object detection (bounding boxes for every object) tasks. There are 11408 (63% of the total) unlabeled images (i.e. without annotations). There are 2 splits in the dataset: train (12568 images) and test (5506 images). The dataset was released in 2019 by the Severstal, Russia.

Here is the visualized example grid with animated annotations:

Co-occurrence matrix #

Co-occurrence matrix is an extremely valuable tool that shows you the images for every pair of classes: how many images have objects of both classes at the same time. If you click any cell, you will see those images. We added the tooltip with an explanation for every cell for your convenience, just hover the mouse over a cell to preview the description.

Images #

Explore every single image in the dataset with respect to the number of annotations of each class it has. Click a row to preview selected image. Sort by any column to find anomalies and edge cases. Use horizontal scroll if the table has many columns for a large number of classes in the dataset.

Object distribution #

Interactive heatmap chart for every class with object distribution shows how many images are in the dataset with a certain number of objects of a specific class. Users can click cell and see the list of all corresponding images.

Class sizes #

The table below gives various size properties of objects for every class. Click a row to see the image with annotations of the selected class. Sort columns to find classes with the smallest or largest objects or understand the size differences between classes.
