Embrapa Wine Grape Instance Segmentation Dataset – Embrapa WGISD 
================================================================

[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/199083745.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/199083745)

This is a detailed description of the dataset, a
*datasheet for the dataset* as proposed by [Gebru *et al.*](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.09010)

Motivation for Dataset Creation
-------------------------------

### Why was the dataset created?

Embrapa WGISD (*Wine Grape Instance Segmentation Dataset*) was created
to provide images and annotation to study *object detection and instance
segmentation* for image-based monitoring and field robotics in
viticulture. It provides instances from five different grape varieties
taken on field. These instances shows variance in grape pose,
illumination and focus, including genetic and phenological variations
such as shape, color and compactness.

### What (other) tasks could the dataset be used for?

Possible uses include relaxations of the instance segmentation problem:
classification (Is a grape in the image?), semantic segmentation (What
are the "grape pixels" in the image?), object detection (Where are
the grapes in the image?), and counting (How many berries are there
per cluster?). The WGISD can also be used in grape variety
identification. 

### Who funded the creation of the dataset?

The building of the WGISD dataset was supported by the Embrapa SEG
Project 01.14.09.001.05.04, *Image-based metrology for Precision
Agriculture and Phenotyping*, and the CNPq PIBIC Program (grants
161165/2017-6 and 125044/2018-6).

Dataset Composition 
-------------------

### What are the instances? 

Each instance consists in a RGB image and an annotation describing grape
clusters locations as bounding boxes. A subset of the instances also
contains binary masks identifying the pixels belonging to each grape
cluster. Each image presents at least one grape cluster. Some grape
clusters can appear far at the background and should be ignored.

### Are relationships between instances made explicit in the data? 

File names prefixes identify the variety observed in the instance.

| Prefix   |      Variety        |
| --- | --- |
|  CDY     | *Chardonnay*        |
|  CFR     | *Cabernet Franc*    |
|  CSV     | *Cabernet Sauvignon*|
|  SVB     | *Sauvignon Blanc*   |
|  SYH     | *Syrah*             |

### How many instances of each type are there? 

The dataset consists of 300 images containing 4,432 grape clusters
identified by bounding boxes. A subset of 137 images also contains
binary masks identifying the pixels of each cluster. It means that from
the 4,432 clusters, 2,020 of them presents binary masks for instance
segmentation, as summarized in the following table.

  |Prefix |  Variety |                       Date |  Images  | Boxed clusters  | Masked clusters|
  | ---   | ---      | ---                        | ---      | ---             | --- |
  |CDY |     *Chardonnay*          |   2018-04-27   |    65  |            840  |             308|
  |CFR  |    *Cabernet Franc*      |   2018-04-27   |    65  |          1,069  |             513|
  |CSV   |   *Cabernet Sauvignon*  |   2018-04-27   |    57  |            643  |             306|
  |SVB    |  *Sauvignon Blanc*     |   2018-04-27   |    65  |          1,316  |             608|
  |SYH     | *Syrah*               |   2017-04-27   |    48  |            563  |             285|
  |Total    |                      |                |   300  |          4,431  |           2,020|

  *General information about the dataset: the grape varieties and the  associated identifying prefix, the date of image capture on field, number of images (instances) and the identified grapes clusters.*

#### Contributions

Another subset of 111 images with separated and non-occluded grape
clusters was annotated with point annotations for every berry by F. Khoroshevsky and S. Khoroshevsky ([Khoroshevsky *et al.*, 2021](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-65414-6_19)). Theses annotations are available in `test_berries.txt` , `train_berries.txt` and `val_berries.txt`

*Berries annotations by F. Khoroshevsky and S. Khoroshevsky.*
Geng Deng ([Deng *et al.*, 2020](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-63820-7_66)) 
provided point-based annotations for berries in all 300 images, summing 187,374 berries. 
These annotations are available in `contrib/berries`.

Daniel Angelov (@23pointsNorth) provided a version for the annotations in [COCO format](https://cocodataset.org/#format-data). See `coco_annotations` directory.


### What data does each instance consist of? 

Each instance contains a 8-bits RGB image and a text file containing one
bounding box description per line. These text files follows the "YOLO
format"

    CLASS CX CY W H

*class* is an integer defining the object class – the dataset presents
only the grape class that is numbered 0, so every line starts with this
“class zero” indicator. The center of the bounding box is the point
*(c_x, c_y)*, represented as float values because this format normalizes
the coordinates by the image dimensions. To get the absolute position,
use *(2048  c_x, 1365  c_y)*. The bounding box dimensions are
given by *W* and *H*, also normalized by the image size.

The instances presenting mask data for instance segmentation contain
files presenting the `.npz` extension. These files are compressed
archives for NumPy $n$-dimensional arrays. Each array is a
*H X W X n_clusters* three-dimensional array where
*n_clusters* is the number of grape clusters observed in the
image. After assigning the NumPy array to a variable `M`, the mask for
the *i*-th grape cluster can be found in `M[:,:,i]`. The *i*-th mask
corresponds to the *i*-th line in the bounding boxes file.

The dataset also includes the original image files, presenting the full
original resolution. The normalized annotation for bounding boxes allows
easy identification of clusters in the original images, but the mask
data will need to be properly rescaled if users wish to work on the
original full resolution.

#### Contributions

*For `test_berries.txt` , `train_berries.txt` and `val_berries.txt`*:

The berries annotations are following a similar notation with the only 
exception being that each text file (train/val/test) includes also the 
instance file name.
 
     FILENAME CLASS CX CY
 
where *filename* stands for instance file name, *class* is an integer 
defining the object class (0 for all instances) and the point *(c_x, c_y)* 
indicates the absolute position of each "dot" indicating a single berry in 
a well defined cluster. 

*For `contrib/berries`*:

The annotations provide the *(x, y)* point position for each berry center, in a tabular form:

     X Y
     
These point-based annotations can be easily loaded using, for example, `numpy.loadtxt`. See `WGISD.ipynb`for examples.


[Daniel Angelov (@23pointsNorth)](https://github.com/23pointsNorth) provided a version for the annotations in [COCO format](https://cocodataset.org/#format-data). See `coco_annotations` directory. Also see [COCO format](https://cocodataset.org/#format-data) for the JSON-based format.


### Is everything included or does the data rely on external resources? 

Everything is included in the dataset.

### Are there recommended data splits or evaluation measures? 

The dataset comes with specified train/test splits. The splits are found
in lists stored as text files. There are also lists referring only to
instances presenting binary masks.

|                       |   Images |  Boxed clusters  | Masked clusters   |
|  ---------------------| -------- | ---------------- | ----------------- |
|  Training/Validation  |      242 |           3,581  |           1,612   |
|  Test                 |       58 |             850  |             408   |
|  Total                |      300 |           4,431  |           2,020   |

*Dataset recommended split.*


Standard measures from the information retrieval and computer vision
literature should be employed: precision and recall, *F1-score* and
average precision as seen in [COCO](http://cocodataset.org)
and [Pascal VOC](http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC).

### What experiments were initially run on this dataset? 

The first experiments run on this dataset are described in [*Grape detection, segmentation and tracking using deep neural networks and three-dimensional association*](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11819) by Santos *et al.*. See also the following video demo:

[![Grape detection, segmentation and tracking](http://img.youtube.com/vi/1Hji3GS4mm4/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hji3GS4mm4 "Grape detection, segmentation and tracking")

**UPDATE**: The JPG files corresponding to the video frames in the [video demo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hji3GS4mm4) are now available in the `extras` directory.

Data Collection Process 
-----------------------

### How was the data collected?

Images were captured at the vineyards of Guaspari Winery, located at
Espírito Santo do Pinhal, São Paulo, Brazil (Lat -22.181018, Lon
-46.741618). The winery staff performs dual pruning: one for shaping
(after previous year harvest) and one for production, resulting in
canopies of lower density. The image capturing was realized in April
2017 for *Syrah* and in April 2018 for the other varieties.

A Canon EOS REBEL T3i DSLR camera and a Motorola Z2 Play smartphone were
used to capture the images. The cameras were located between the vines
lines, facing the vines at distances around 1-2 meters. The EOS REBEL
T3i camera captured 240 images, including all *Syrah* pictures. The Z2
smartphone grabbed 60 images covering all varieties except *Syrah* . The
REBEL images were scaled to *2048 X 1365* pixels and the Z2 images
to *2048 X 1536* pixels. More data about the capture process can be found 
in the Exif data found in the original image files, included in the dataset.

### Who was involved in the data collection process?

T. T. Santos, A. A. Santos and S. Avila captured the images in
field. T. T. Santos, L. L. de Souza and S. Avila performed the
annotation for bounding boxes and masks.

### How was the data associated with each instance acquired?

The rectangular bounding boxes identifying the grape clusters were
annotated using the [`labelImg` tool](https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg).
The clusters can be under
severe occlusion by leaves, trunks or other clusters. Considering the
absence of 3-D data and on-site annotation, the clusters locations had
to be defined using only a single-view image, so some clusters could be
incorrectly delimited.

A subset of the bounding boxes was selected for mask annotation, using a
novel tool developed by the authors and presented in this work. This
interactive tool lets the annotator mark grape and background pixels
using scribbles, and a graph matching algorithm developed by [Noma *et al.*](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2011.08.017)
is employed to perform image segmentation to every pixel in the bounding
box, producing a binary mask representing grape/background
classification.

#### Contributions

A subset of the bounding boxes of well-defined (separated and non-occluded 
clusters) was used for "dot" (berry) annotations of each grape to
serve for counting  applications as described in [Khoroshevsky *et
al.*](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-65414-6_19). The berries
annotation was performed by F. Khoroshevsky and S. Khoroshevsky.

Geng Deng ([Deng *et al.*, 2020](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-63820-7_66))
provided point-based annotations for berries in all 300 images, summing 
187,374 berries. These annotations are available in `contrib/berries`. 
Deng *et al.* employed [Huawei ModelArt](https://www.huaweicloud.com/en-us/product/modelarts.html), 
for their annotation effort.

Data Preprocessing
------------------

### What preprocessing/cleaning was done? 

The following steps were taken to process the data:

1.  Bounding boxes were annotated for each image using the `labelImg`
    tool.

2.  Images were resized to *W = 2048* pixels. This resolution proved to
    be practical to mask annotation, a convenient balance between grape
    detail and time spent by the graph-based segmentation algorithm.

3.  A randomly selected subset of images were employed on mask
    annotation using the interactive tool based on graph matching.

4.  All binaries masks were inspected, in search of pixels attributed to
    more than one grape cluster. The annotator assigned the disputed
    pixels to the most likely cluster.

5.  The bounding boxes were fitted to the masks, which provided a fine
    tuning of grape clusters locations.

### Was the “raw” data saved in addition to the preprocessed data?

The original resolution images, containing the Exif data provided by the
cameras, is available in the dataset.
