XAMI (XMM-Newton Optical Artefact Mapping for Astronomical Instance Segmentation)

The Git repository for this dataset can be found here.

The XAMI dataset contains 1000 annotated images of observations from diverse sky regions of the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor (XMM-OM) image catalog. An additional 50 images with no annotations are included to help decrease the amount of False Positives or Negatives that may be caused by complex objects (e.g., large galaxies, clusters, nebulae).

Annotation platforms

The images have been annotated using the following platform:

Zooniverse, where the resulted annotations are not externally visible.
Roboflow, which allows for more interactive and visual annotation tools.

The dataset format

The dataset is splited into train and validation categories and contains annotated artefacts in COCO format for Instance Segmentation. We use multilabel Stratified K-fold (k=4) to balance class distributions across splits. We choose to work with a single dataset splits version (out of 4) but also provide means to work with all 4 versions.

Please check Dataset Structure for a more detailed structure of our dataset in COCO-IS and YOLOv8-Seg format.

Downloading the dataset

using a python script

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

dataset_name = 'xami_dataset' # the dataset name of Huggingface
images_dir = '.' # the output directory of the dataset images

hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="iulia-elisa/XAMI-dataset", # the Huggingface repo ID
    repo_type='dataset', 
    filename=dataset_name+'.zip', 
    local_dir=images_dir
);

# Unzip file
!unzip -q "xami_dataset.zip" -d 'path/to/dest'

Or you can simply download only the dataset zip file from HuggingFace using a CLI command:

DEST_DIR='/path/to/local/dataset/dir'

huggingface-cli download iulia-elisa/XAMI-dataset xami_dataset.zip --repo-type dataset --local-dir "$DEST_DIR" && unzip "$DEST_DIR/xami_dataset.zip" -d "$DEST_DIR" && rm "$DEST_DIR/xami_dataset.zip"
