Image Safari Plant Part Segmentation

Plant-part segmentation of field photographs from the Image Safari project, a large crop image collection from sites across sub-Saharan Africa. In 1,361 smartphone images of 7 crops, QED annotators outlined individual leaves, stems (including banana pseudostems and suckers), flowers (buds, open flowers, inflorescences, panicles, spikes), fruits (pods, grains, tubers, capsules, banana bunches) and broadleaf/narrowleaf weeds in Roboflow. The annotation_type column separates fully manual plant-part annotations (761 images) from model-assisted pseudo-instance annotations (600 images); some images were annotated in both, and appear once per annotation batch (annotation_set). Each row has the image, a semantic mask (0 = background, then the class ids; larger objects are painted first so small parts stay visible), per-object bounding boxes and classes, the crop, and the original per-image COCO annotation file verbatim in coco_json (instance polygons, original category names). Images that the source stored with an EXIF rotation are written upright so they line up with the annotations; all others keep their original bytes. The dataset contains 1,361 images with 240,726 bounding box annotations across 17 categories.

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
