SENSUM SODF DATASET

Given the unavailability of real-world pharmaceutical inspection-domain datasets, we have created the Sensum Solid Oral Dosage Forms (SensumSODF) dataset intended for research and evaluation purposes.

  • The dataset consists of two main types of solid oral dosage forms:
  • capsule; non-translucent hard-shelled capsules with print, which are normally used for dry, powdered ingredients
  • softgel; translucent soft-shelled capsules, which are primarily used for oils and active ingredients which are dissolved or suspended in oil

The dataset consists of 836 defect-free and 153 defective examples of non-translucent hard-shelled capsules with a size of 192 × 320 pixels, and 846 defect-free and 345 defective examples of translucent soft-shelled capsules with a size of 144 × 144 pixels. Defective examples exhibit diverse defects such as cracks, dents, smudges, impurities, and air bubbles. Defective regions range from small to large structures and are hand-annotated by a pharmaceutical product inspection domain-expert. Annotations coarsely indicate the defective area on a given example, yet to some extent also include minor defect-free areas.
