ISIC_WSM

ISIC Weak Segmentation Map Dataset


The ISIC_WSM dataset (ISIC_WSM_labels.zip (198 MB)) provides pixel–level supervisions for a subset of images (43885) from the ISIC archive, while the original images can be downloaded separately at the ISIC website. The supervision is obtained from the available bounding–boxes of the COCO–Text dataset exploiting a weakly supervised algorithm. See the paper for more details.

Annotations Description

The semantic label maps are saved as .png images with the same name as the original images of the ISIC archive. Pixel values of the provided annotation are defined as follows:

  • 0 - Background
  • 1 - Foreground (Lesion)
  • 255 - Uncertain
