The Endoscapes Dataset for Surgical Scene Segmentation, Object Detection, and Critical View of Safety Assessment
We are excited to release Endoscapes2023 [Download], a comprehensive laparoscopic video dataset for surgical anatomy and tool segmentation, object detection, and Critical View of Safety (CVS) assessment. This repository provides an overview of the dataset contents, including an exploration of the types and format of the annotations as well as download links. Comprehensive information, including dataset splits and performance benchmarks, is provided in this accompanying technical report.
Endoscapes2023 focuses on a region of interest within laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos where CVS is relevant and well-defined: during the dissection phase and before the first clip/cut of the cystic artery or cystic duct [4]. We organize its contents into three different sub-datasets:
-
Endoscapes-CVS201: 11090 frames from 201 videos annotated with CVS by 3 experts. These frames are evenly spaced at 5 second intervals, and the intermediate frames can be used to train for instance semi-supervised/temporal methods. There are a total of 58813 frames (1 fps) in the aforementioned region of interest.
-
Endoscapes-BBox201: 1933 frames from 201 videos annotated with bounding boxes for 5 anatomical structures/regions (Gallbladder, Cystic Duct, Cystic Artery, Cystic Plate, Hepatocystic Triangle Dissection) and a tool class (6 classes total). The 1933 frames correspond to 1 frame every 30 seconds from the aformentioned region of interest of each video. As for Endoscapes-CVS201, the unlabeled frames can be used for semi-supervised/temporal methods.
-
Endoscapes-Seg50: 493 frames from 50 videos annotated with instance and semantic segmentation masks for the 6 aforementioned classes. Endoscapes-Seg50 is a strict subset of Endoscapes-BBox201; we select ~25% of the 201 videos (50 out of 201), sample 1 frame every 30s from the region of interest, and add segmentation annotations. Please note that this is a partial release of the dataset used in [2,3,5]; these works use Endoscapes-Seg201 (private), which contains segmentation masks for all 1933 frames that are a part of Endoscapes-BBox201.
We describe the file structure below. All annotations are in COCO-format, with CVS labels encoded as image-level tags. Of note, the CVS labels represent the average of the 3 annotators for each criterion. Decimal values indicate cases where there was disagreement among annotators.

This benchmark also serves to centralize numerous results that have been reported in several recently published works [2,5,6].
