Copper and Iron composition
The data sets contain one folder dedicated to copper and one to iron. Each of them can be used for two distinct purposes: regression and image segmentation.
For regression, the microscopical images from the "copper-images" and "iron-images" folders can be used directly. The file names contain the XRF approximation of elemental composition for several elements. These represent the ground truth. The string encoding has the following format:
element1_value1__element2_value2__element3_value3 - object name__i.jpg
Example: Cu_0.03__Fe_98.16__P_0.14__Si_1.49__6 - Cui roman - fier - inainte__1.jpg
This reads that the copper is 0.03%, iron composition is 98.16% etc. and the image is the first (last part, "__1", before ".jpg") from the object "Cui roman - fier - inainte". The images made for the same object will contain the same string for the object name. The information can be extracted using a string tokenizer.
For image segmentation, the same images from "copper-images" and "iron-images" folders can be used together with the associated masks from "copper-labels" and "iron-labels". The label files have the same resolution and each pixel value corresponds to a certain class. The classes are provided in the text files "copper-codes.txt" and "iron-codes.txt".
The file names of the images used for validation and test purposes are given in the text files "copper-valid.txt", "iron-valid.txt", "copper-test.txt", and "iron-test.txt", respectively.
The data set is described in the article below. Results on the data can be found in the article, as well.
