Introduction #

Released 2020-04-03 ·Md Jahidul Islam, Chelsey Edge, Yuyang Xiaoet al.

The large-scale annotated SUIM: Semantic Segmentation of Underwater Imagery dataset has a general-purpose application in robotics. It contains over 1500 images with pixel annotations for eight object categories: waterbody_background (BW), human_divers (HD), aquatic_plants_and sea-grass, wrecks_and_ruins (WR), robots (RO), reefs_and_invertebrates (RI), fish_and_vertebrates (FV), sea-floor_and_rocks (SR). The authors use 3-bit binary RGB colors to represent these eight object categories in the image space.

According to the authors, for visually-guided underwater robots, the existing solutions for semantic segmentation and scene parsing are significantly less advanced. The practicalities and limitations are twofold. The existing large-scale annotated data and relevant methodologies are tied to specific applications such as coral reef classification and coverage estimation, fish detection, and segmentation, etc. Other datasets contain either binary annotations for salient foreground pixels or semantic labels for very few object categories (e.g., seagrass, rocks/sand, etc.).

The SUIM dataset has 1525 RGB images for training and validation; another 110 test images are provided for benchmark evaluation of semantic segmentation models. The images are of various spatial resolutions, e.g., 1906×1080, 1280×720, 640×480, and 256×256. These images are carefully chosen from a large pool of samples collected during oceanic explorations and human-robot cooperative experiments in several locations of various water types. We also utilize a few images from large-scale datasets named EUVP, USR-248, and UFO-120, which authors previously proposed for underwater image enhancement and super-resolution problems. The images are chosen to accommodate a diverse set of natural underwater scenes and various setups for human-robot collaborative experiments.

Fig

This figure demonstrates the population of each object category, their pairwise correlations, and the distributions of RGB channel intensity values in the SUIM dataset.

All images of the SUIM dataset are pixel-annotated by seven human participants. Authors followed the guidelines discussed in The Ocean Animal Encyclopedia and “Marine Species Identification Portal for classifying potentially confusing objects of interest such as plants/reefs, vertebrates/invertebrates, etc.

Summary #

SUIM: Semantic Segmentation of Underwater Imagery is a dataset for a semantic segmentation task. It is used in the environmental research, and in the robotics industry.

The dataset consists of 1550 images with 5000 labeled objects belonging to 8 different classes including waterbody_background, fish_and_vertebrates, reefs_and_invertebrates, and other: sea-floor_and_rocks, human_divers, wrecks_and_ruins, aquatic_plants_and sea-grass, and robots.

Images in the SUIM dataset have pixel-level semantic segmentation annotations. All images are labeled (i.e. with annotations). There are 2 splits in the dataset: train_val (1440 images) and test (110 images). The dataset was released in 2020 by the University of Minnesota.

Here are the visualized examples for the classes:

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.
