BKAI-IGH NeoPolyp (binary, MedCLIPSeg mirror)

Re-hosted mirror of the BKAI-IGH NeoPolyp "Small" subset (Lan et al., 2021), originally released through the BKAI-IGH NeoPolyp Kaggle competition, intended for use with EasyMedSeg.

This mirror is rebuilt from the TahaKoleilat/MedCLIPSeg HF dataset's BKAI.zip (the only freely-fetchable HF rehost we found that ships the masks). We chose this source because the canonical Kaggle URL requires Kaggle competition-acceptance + an API token, which is awkward for downstream automation.

Composition

Split Images With polyp
train 799 (computed)
val 100 (computed)
test 100 (computed)
All 999

Image dimensions: variable (~1280 × 950–1000 px), heterogeneous endoscopy frames in JPEG. The original Kaggle release contains 1,000 train (with masks) + 200 test (held-out masks); this mirror uses the 1,000 train pool re-split into 799/100/100. The 200-image canonical Kaggle test split with no public masks is not included.

Mask caveat — binary only

The upstream MedCLIPSeg mirror saved the original 3-channel RGB-coded semantic masks as JPEG-compressed grayscale. JPEG compression introduces boundary noise (we observed pixel values 1–40 and 211–254 in addition to 0/255), and JPEG-on-label-map is inherently lossy.

This mirror thresholds at > 127 to recover a clean binary {0, 255} mask. The 3-class (background / non-neoplastic polyp / neoplastic polyp) distinction in the original Kaggle PNGs is NOT recoverable from this source. Use this mirror for binary polyp segmentation only. Pull the canonical Kaggle data directly if you need the 3-class formulation required to reproduce the NeoUNet / BlazeNeo benchmarks.

Schema

Column Type Description
image Image Source RGB frame (PNG bytes, variable size)
mask Image Binary mask (L mode, 0/255)
image_id string 32-char hex stem from the source filename
split string train / val / test
has_polyp bool True iff the mask contains any foreground

License

The original Kaggle release does not declare a public license; usage is implicitly governed by Kaggle competition rules ("research / academic use"). The intermediate TahaKoleilat/MedCLIPSeg mirror redistributes under CC-BY-NC-4.0 (mirror-imposed, not author-confirmed). Treat as research / non-commercial only until BKAI/IGH publishes a formal license.
