This dataset is proposed by the ICML 2024 paper "[Diving into Underwater: Segment Anything Model Guided Underwater Salient Instance Segmentation and A Large-scale Dataset](https://proceedings.mlr.press/v235/lian24c.html)", specific parameters about the dataset can be viewed in the paper


In this paper, we construct the first large-scale USIS10K dataset for the underwater salient instance segmentation task, which contains 10,632 images and pixel-level annotations of 7 categories. As far as we know, this is the largest salient instance segmentation dataset available that simultaneously includes Class-Agnostic and Multi-Class labels.

## Datasets

The dataset in [USIS10K.zip](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LiamLian0727/USIS10K/blob/main/USIS10K.zip) follows the COCO format and is organized as follows:
