# Chicory Root Segmentation

This dataset provides real-world RGB images of chicory roots in agricultural settings, captured for semantic segmentation tasks. The images depict roots in their natural growing environment, offering a realistic representation for developing and evaluating segmentation models in crop monitoring applications. The dataset contains 48 images with pixel-level mask annotations.

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.

The original train/test/val split has been preserved in the `split` column.
