Chula-RBC-12-Dataset

Chula-RBC-12 Dataset is a dataset of red blood cell (RBC) blood smear images used in "Red Blood Cell Segmentation with Overlapping Cell Separation and Classification from an Imbalanced Dataset", containing 12 classes of RBC types consisting of 706 smear images that contain over 20,000 RBC cells. The dataset was collected at the Oxidation in Red Cell Disorders Research Unit, Chulalongkorn University in 2019 using a DS-Fi2-L3 Nikon microscope at 1000x magnification.

The "Dataset" folder contains 706 RBC blood smear images with 640*480 resolution.

The "Label" folder contains label data with the name of the corresponding image. The file can contain multiple lines. Each line is a label for a single RBC and stored in the following sequence:

x coordinate

y coordinate

type of RBC in number

1 Macrocyte

2 Microcyte

3 Spherocyte

4 Target cell

5 Stomatocyte

6 Ovalocyte

7 Teardrop

8 Burr cell

9 Schistocyte

10 uncategorized

11 Hypochromia
