| # LabOS Segmentation Dataset |
|
|
| A curated instance segmentation dataset of laboratory equipment that **foundation models (SAM,Gemini,YoloWorld,Grounded) consistently struggle with** and used to cover their gaps — including vortex genies, eppendorf tubes, multi-tube racks, colored caps, and fine-grained sub-parts like rack holes, tube tops, and mixer plates. |
|
|
| Annotations are provided in both **COCO JSON** and **YOLO polygon** formats. |
|
|

|
|
| ## Why This Dataset? |
|
|
| General-purpose vision models fail on lab equipment for several reasons: |
|
|
| - **Repetitive, nearly-identical sub-objects** — racks with dozens of uniform holes challenge, most foundation models have failed at, both detection and counting. |
| - **Transparent / translucent materials** — eppendorf tubes and caps have subtle visual boundaries. |
| - **Fine-grained part segmentation** — distinguishing a vortex genie *top plate* from its body, or an *orange cap top* from its barrel, requires part-level understanding that VLMs lack. |
| - **Domain specificity** — lab bench imagery is severely underrepresented in web-scraped pre-training data. |

| ## Annotation Format |
|
|
| **COCO JSON** — bounding boxes + polygon segmentation masks per instance. |
|
|
| **YOLO TXT** — one file per image, each line: |
| ``` |
| <class_id> x1 y1 x2 y2 ... xN yN |
| ``` |
| Coordinates are normalized to `[0, 1]`. Annotations were created and exported from **CVAT**. |
