# Salma Leaf Segmentation
The SALMA benchmark: single-leaf crops of scanned (600 dpi) and photographed leaves with human-delineated leaf/background masks, used to validate a machine-learning tool for leaf area and morphology. The main set covers 3,332 leaves of 64 New Zealand species spanning most of the global range of leaf sizes; two smaller sets hold 130 low-contrast photographs of four alpine species and 212 morphologically complex or damaged leaves of six species. Species and source set are kept as columns. The dataset contains 3,674 images with pixel-level mask annotations.
This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
