YOGData: Labelled data (YOLO and Mask R-CNN) for yogurt cup identification within production lines

Data abstract:
The YogDATA dataset contains images from an industrial laboratory production line when it is functioned to quality yogurts. The case-study for the recognition of yogurt cups requires training of Mask R-CNN and YOLO v5.0 models with a set of corresponding images. Thus, it is important to collect the corresponding images to train and evaluate the class. Specifically, the YogDATA dataset includes the same labeled data for Mask R-CNN (coco format) and YOLO models. For the YOLO architecture, training and validation datsets include sets of images in jpg format and their annotations in txt file format. For the Mask R-CNN architecture, the annotation of the same sets of images are included in json file format (80% of images and annotations of each subset are in training set and 20% of images of each subset are in test set.) 

Paper abstract:
The explosion of the digitisation of the traditional industrial processes and procedures is consolidating a positive impact on modern society by offering a critical contribution to its economic development. In particular, the dairy sector consists of various processes, which are very demanding and thorough. It is crucial to leverage modern automation tools and through-engineering solutions to increase their efficiency and continuously meet challenging standards. Towards this end, in this work, an intelligent algorithm based on machine vision and artificial intelligence, which identifies dairy products within production lines, is presented. Furthermore, in order to train and validate the model,  the YogDATA dataset was created that includes yogurt cups within a production line. Specifically, we evaluate two deep learning models (Mask R-CNN and YOLO v5.0) to recognise and detect each yogurt cup in a production line, in order to automate the packaging processes of the products. According to our results, the performance precision of the two models is similar, estimating its at 99\%.
