Xueqing Deng, Qihang Yu, Peng Wang, Xiaohui Shen, Liang-Chieh Chen

🚀 Contributions

🔥 1st large-scale human verified dataset for segmentation, more info can be found at our website.

🔥 COCONut is now available at Kaggle and huggingface, welcome to download!

TODO

• [x] Huggingface dataset preview on relabeled COCO-Val and COCONut-S
• [x] Huggingface preview on COCONut-B
• [x] Convert the annotation to semantic segmentation.
• [x] Release COCONut-val and instance segmentation annotations (no need to convert from the panoptic masks).
• [ ] Release Release COCONut-L and object detection annotations.

Dataset Splits

Get Started

We only provide the annotation, for those who are interested to use our annotation will need to download the images from the links: COCONut-S images, COCONut-B images and relabeled COCO-val images.

We provide two methods to download the dataset annotations, details are as below。

🔗Kaggle download link

You can use the web UI to download the dataset directly on Kaggle.

If you find our dataset useful, we really appreciate if you can upvote our dataset on Kaggle,

🔗Huggingface dataset preview

Directly download the data from huggingface or git clone the huggingface dataset repo will result in invalid data structure.

We recommend you to use our provided download script to download the dataset from huggingface.

pip install datasets tqdm
python download_coconut.py # default split: relabeled_coco_val

You can switch to download COCONut-S by adding "--split coconut_s" to the command.

python download_coconut.py --split coconut_s

The data will be saved at "./coconut_datasets" by default, you can change it to your preferred path by adding "--output_dir YOUR_DATA_PATH".
