Indention mark segmentation data

This dataset includes 1120 electron microscopy images containing an indentation mark and their ground-truth masks to detect the indent marks. Both images and masks are in png format and have a (W=1024, H=768) size. The dataset can be used for semantic segmentation. The images were taken from different scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) and have different degrees of brightness and contrast. 

Indentation marks are used to evaluate the mechanical properties (hardness) of materials.

This Github repository uses the attached data to segment away the indentation mark and detect lines, using OpenCV, on its sides.
