Contents

• 1867 samples (test: 281, train: 1305, val: 281); one image and one label per sample.
• images/*.png: 16-bit grayscale PNG, intensities in [0, 65535] map linearly to [0, 1].
• labels/: dense index map (PNG). Label ids/channels:
• 0: background
• 1: tumor
• dataset.yml: fxr-dataset manifest (schema version 1). Splits are the ones used in the FleXray paper; metadata.original_shape is the source image shape.

Preprocessing

Every image was min-max normalized to [0, 1] per image, padded to a square with zeros (centered) and resized to 256 x 256 (area interpolation for images, nearest for labels). Labels were remapped from the source annotation to the dataset-native names listed above; the FleXray package maps those names into its label protocol at training time.

Usage

pip install flexray
fxr-dataset validate dataset.yml
fxr-dataset pack dataset.yml /data/flexray/BTXRD
