LumenStone Dataset

Description

The material used was collected from 30 ore deposits of the CIS. Prepared samples of polished sections were analyzed using a Carl Zeiss AxioScope 40 microscope, photographing was carried out using a Canon Powershot G10. Samples represent the main ore associations and are categorized by deposit genesis.

LumenStone dataset was created to unite high-quality geological images of different mineral associations and provide pixel-level semantic segmentation masks. It consists of several sets:

  • S1: association of hydrothermal ore of Berezovskoe deposit consisting of sphalerite, pyrite, galena, bornite, tennantite-tetrahedrite group, chalcopyrite minerals,
  • S2: association of Layered Ultramafic Deposits (Deposits of the Norilsk Group), consisting of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, magnetite minerals,
  • S3: common association of high-temperature hydrothermal ores consisting of pyrite, arsenopyrite, covelline, bornite, chalcopyrite, magnetite (ordinary and copper-bearing magnetite), hematite (secondary and hydrothermal) minerals (coming soon).

Versioning system

LumenStone dataset is actively updated and expanded so for convenient usage each set supports versioning system. Every new version of set besides offering new images will contain all images from the previous version. Image annotations (including the number of supported classes of histological structures) can be modified and expanded from version to version. All outdated versions as well as the latest ones are available for download.

Directory structure

The LumenStone dataset is split into sets and samples (train/test). Each set represents a stable mineral association that corresponds to the main types of deposits. Every image in the dataset has 4 representations:
  1. source image,
  2. pixel-level ground-truth semantic mask (values 0, 1, 2… in the mask correspond to classes 0, 1, 2, …),
  3. colorized mask for simple visualization,
  4. an overlay of source image and colorized mask,
which are stored in folders imgs, masks, masks_human, masks_overlay correspondingly.
The short geological description of sets, as well as the description of all annotated classes of minerals and their color bindings can be found in description.xls table. The current version of description.xls can be found here or here. The directory structure of LumenStone dataset is the following:
