Cityscapes

  • Format specification

  • Supported annotations

    • Polygons (segmentation task)
  • Supported attributes

    • ‘is_crowd’ (boolean, should be defined for labels as checkbox -es) Specifies if the annotation label can distinguish between different instances. If False, the annotation id field encodes the instance id.

  • *_gtFine_color.png class labels encoded by its color.
  • *_gtFine_labelIds.png class labels are encoded by its index.
  • *_gtFine_instanceIds.png class and instance labels encoded by an instance ID. The pixel values encode class and the individual instance: the integer part of a division by 1000 of each ID provides class ID, the remainder is the instance ID. If a certain annotation describes multiple instances, then the pixels have the regular ID of that class

Creating task with Cityscapes dataset

Create a task with the labels you need or you can use the labels and colors of the original dataset. To work with the Cityscapes format, you must have a black color label for the background.

Original Cityscapes color map:
