SUIM Dataset

SUIM is a dataset proposed by Minnesota Interactive Robotics and Vision Laboratory. The details about this dataset are demonstrated below:

• For semantic segmentation of natural underwater images
• 1525 annotated images for training/validation and 110 samples for testing
• Categories:
  • BW: Background/waterbody, 000 (black)
  • HD: human divers, 001 (blue)
  • PF: Aquatic plants and sea-grass, 010 (green)
  • WR: Wrecks/ruins, 011 (sky)
  • RO: Robots/instruments, 100 (red)
  • RI: Reefs/invertebrates, 101 (pink)
  • FV: Fish and vertebrates, 110 (yellow)
  • SR: Sea-floor/rocks, 111 (white)
• Samples:

Thanks to this awesome dataset, we can do research on underwater image segmentation more easily! 😊

Why I create this repo?

However, I found there exits two problems in this dataset:

1. Some masks in train_val folder are annotated with inaccurate RGB colors, thereby causing an obstacle for extracting masks information from masks files.

   For example, magnifying these three masks files (i.e., d_r_5_.bmp, f_r_1007_.bmp, and w_r_24_.bmp in train_val/masks folder), and you can find values of colors are improper in the border between two segments and other areas. You can use color picking tools to check them.

2. The sizes of some masks do not match those of their corresponding images.

   For example:

   f_r_1058_.jpg: (590, 375)
   f_r_1058_.bmp: (590, 430)

You can use this script to check the original train_val set of SUIM. Please note that you should change image_dir and masks_dir to your own in this python script.

New SUIM Dataset

Based on problems mentioned above, I re-annotated these images with improper masks. You can download the new SUIM dataset from 👉this link.

How these improper masks impact our task

To present how these improper masks impact our task, please see the instance below.

If we want to extract segments of human divers and Robots/instruments from images, we can obtain two boolean masks based on colors used to label these two classes. In SUIM, the two colors is blue and red. I write a script here:

from PIL import Image
import torch
from torchvision.utils import draw_segmentation_masks
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# the re-annotated SUIM
img_fp = '/DataA/pwz/workshop/Datasets/SUIM_fix/train_val/images/d_r_59_.jpg'
mask_fp = '/DataA/pwz/workshop/Datasets/SUIM_fix/train_val/masks/d_r_59_.bmp'

# the original SUIM
# img_fp = '/DataA/pwz/workshop/Datasets/SUIM/train_val/images/d_r_59_.jpg'
# mask_fp = '/DataA/pwz/workshop/Datasets/SUIM/train_val/masks/d_r_59_.bmp'

img_size = (256, 256)
img = Image.open(img_fp).resize(img_size)
img = np.asarray(img, dtype=np.uint8)
mask = Image.open(mask_fp).resize(img_size)
mask = np.asarray(mask, dtype=np.uint8)

mask_shape = mask.shape[0:2]
# Human Diver
hd_mask = np.stack((np.zeros(mask_shape), np.zeros(mask_shape), np.ones(mask_shape)), axis=2)
hd_mask = (hd_mask * 255).astype(np.uint8)
# Robots
ro_mask = np.stack((np.ones(mask_shape), np.zeros(mask_shape), np.zeros(mask_shape)), axis=2)
ro_mask = (ro_mask * 255).astype(np.uint8)
hd_boolean_mask = np.all(mask == hd_mask, axis=2)
ro_boolean_mask = np.all(mask == ro_mask, axis=2)
img = torch.tensor(img.transpose(2,0,1), dtype=torch.uint8)
boolean_masks = torch.tensor(np.stack((hd_boolean_mask, ro_boolean_mask), axis=0), dtype=torch.bool)
imgs_with_masks = [draw_segmentation_masks(img, boolean_masks, alpha=0.5, colors=['blue', 'red'])]
show(imgs_with_masks)

If you use the original SUIM dataset, you will got this result:

If you use the new SUIM dataset, you will got this result:
