LVIS: A Dataset for Large Vocabulary Instance Segmentation

Abstract

Progress on object detection is enabled by datasets that focus the research community’s attention on open challenges. This process led us from simple images to complex scenes and from bounding boxes to segmentation masks. In this work, we introduce LVIS (pronounced ‘el-vis’): a new dataset for Large Vocabulary Instance Segmentation. We plan to collect 2.2 million high-quality instance segmentation masks for over 1000 entry-level object categories in 164k images. Due to the Zipfian distribution of categories in natural images, LVIS naturally has a long tail of categories with few training samples. Given that state-of-the-art deep learning methods for object detection perform poorly in the low-sample regime, we believe that our dataset poses an important and exciting new scientific challenge. LVIS is available at http://www.lvisdataset.org.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The LVIS dataset is known for its rich long-tail vocabulary and abundance of small, densely packed objects.

    “We build our benchmark on the LVIS dataset (Gupta et al., 2019), known for its rich long-tail vocabulary and abundance of small, densely packed objects.”
  • The LVIS dataset offers the richest long-tail object vocabulary and the highest prevalence of small and densely packed instances among existing segmentation datasets.

    “LVIS. We construct our benchmark for open-world small and dense object grounding based on the LVIS (Gupta et al., 2019) dataset, which offers the richest long-tail object vocabulary and the highest prevalence of small and densely packed instances among existing segmentation datasets.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
