Kvasir Instrument Dataset

The authors of the Kvasir-Instrument dataset highlight the need for improved tracking and analysis of gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, particularly during and after colonoscopies. The dataset comprises 590 annotated frames featuring GI procedure tools like snares, balloons, and biopsy forceps. It includes ground truth masks and bounding boxes, validated by two expert GI endoscopists. The authors emphasize that critical information, such as disease borders, development, and the size of resected areas, often goes untracked, leading to challenges in follow-up and post-treatment reassessment. Additionally, they provide a baseline for GI tool segmentation to promote algorithm development.

Kvasir-Instrument数据集的作者强调了改进胃肠道（GI）程序跟踪与分析的必要性，特别是在结肠镜检查期间及之后。该数据集包含590帧标注图像，展示了诸如圈套、气球和活检镊等胃肠道操作工具。其中包含了由两位专家胃肠道内窥镜医生验证的地面实况蒙版和边界框。作者强调，诸如疾病边界、发展状况以及切除区域的大小等关键信息往往未被追踪，这导致后续随访和治疗后再评估的挑战。此外，他们还提供了胃肠道工具分割的基线，以促进算法发展。
