+ # MusselSeg: Semantic Segmentation Dataset for Rocky Intertidal Mussel Habitat
16
+
17
+ ## Dataset description
18
+
19
+ MusselSeg is a large-scale dataset for semantic segmentation of mussel habitat using high resolution drone imagery. It covers coastal mussel habitat located on the central coast of British Columbia, Canada, as well as areas in California, USA and provides pixel-wise annotation for mussel beds.
20
+
21
+ - **Source:** Imagery collected by the Hakai Institute and University of California Santa Cruz
22
+ - **Geographic Coverage:** ~3500m^2
23
+ - **Time Period:** 2021-2023
24
+
25
+ ## Task description
26
+
27
+ The dataset is designed for semantic segmentation of mussel habitat in aerial imagery. The task involves assigning each pixel in the image to either the "mussel" class or "other"/"background" class.
28
+
29
+ ## Data characteristics
30
+
31
+ - **Image Format:** GeoTiff
32
+ - **Resolution:** mean=0.45cm, stdev=0.20cm
33
+ - **Tile Size:** 1024x1024 pixels with 50% overlap (*TODO* check this)
34
+ - **Number of Tiles:** 9972 image and label pairs
35
+ - **Total Dataset Size:** 42G
36
+ ## Annotation details
37
+ - **Method:** Manual heads-up digitizing with manual verification
38
+ - **Format:** Pixel-wise labels stored as separate mask images
39
+ - **Labelling Convention:** Each pixel assigned a single class label
40
+
41
+ ## Class distribution
42
+
43
+ | Class ID | Class Name | Description | Percentage |
44
+ | -------- | ---------- | ------------------ | ---------- |
45
+ | 0 | Background | Unclassified areas | 87% |
46
+ | 1 | Mussels | Mussel bed | 13% |
47
+
48
+ ## Split information
49
+
50
+ - Train: 48% (4834 tiles)
51
+ - Validation 13% (1277 tiles)
52
+ - Test 39% (3861 tiles)
53
+
54
+ Train and Validation split tiles all contain at least 1 pixel in each class. For the Test split, some tiles are entirely the background class.
55
+
56
+ Splits are created such that tiles from the same source orthomosaic image are not divided across different splits. That is, all tiles derived from the same drone flight are present only in a single split.
57
+
58
+ ## Preprocessing
59
+
60
+ 1. Orthorectification applied to raw imagery
61
+ 2. Tiles extracted with 50% overlap
62
+ 3. Tiles with no mussels present eliminated for the Train and Validation splits
63
+
64
+ ## Licensing information
65
+
66
+ This dataset is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License (CC BY 4.0).
67
+
68
+ ## Ethical considerations
69
+
70
+ - No identifiable individuals are present in imagery
71
+ - Minimized impact on wildlife and sensitive habitats
72
+ - Engaged with local First Nations in planning aerial surveys

96
+ ## Known limitations
97
+ - Limited seasonal variation due to imagery being captured primarily in summer months
98
+ - Imagery only covers areas with known mussel beds
99
+ - Limited examples of mussel beds in urban or built-up environments
