DRIVE Dataset

What is DRIVE Dataset?

The DRIVE (Digital Retinal Images for Vessel Extraction) dataset has been created to enable studies on retinal vessel segmentation. DRIVE dataset pictures were collected from diabetic retinopathy patients in the Netherlands. The dataset contains images from 400 diabetic patients between 25 and 90 years of age. 40 photographs have been randomly selected, with only 7 showing signs of mild early diabetic retinopathy. Automatic retinal map generation and branch point extraction were used to record time or multimedia images, and synthesize the retinal image mosaic.

Download DRIVE Dataset in Python

Instead of downloading the DRIVE dataset in Python, you can effortlessly load it in Python via our Deep Lake open-source with just one line of code.

Load DRIVE Dataset Training Subset in Python

				
					import deeplake
ds = deeplake.load("hub://activeloop/drive-train")

Load DRIVE Dataset Testing Subset in Python

				
					import deeplake
ds = deeplake.load("hub://activeloop/drive-test")

DRIVE Dataset Structure

Data Fields

For training set:

rgb_images: tensor containing the image.
manual_masks/mask: tensor containing mask.
masks/mask: tensor containing mask.

For the testing set:

rgb_images: tensor containing the image.
masks: tensor containing mask.

DRIVE Data Splits

The DRIVE dataset training set is composed of 20 images. Only a single manual segmentation of the vasculature is provided for training images.
The DRIVE dataset test set is composed of 20 images. There are 2 manual segmentations provided where one is used as a golden standard and the other is used for comparing computer-generated segmentation with that manual segmentation.

How to use DRIVE Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on DRIVE dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on the DRIVE dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()

DRIVE Dataset Creation

Data Collection and Normalization Information

Images were taken using a Canon CR5 non-mydriatic 3 CCD camera with a 45-degree field of view (FOV). Each image was captured at 768 x 584 pixels using 8 bits per color plane. The FOV of each image is circular and has a diameter of approximately 540 pixels. In this database, the image is cropped around the FOV. For each image, a mask image depicting the FOV is provided.
