BeeMachine Partwhole Dataset

Pixel-level anatomical part annotations for bumble bee photographs used by the BeeMachine identification service and by the IAAI-27 evaluation of anatomy-guided learning strategies.

Summary

Property Value
Images 7,716
Species 160
Part classes background, abdomen, head, thorax
Mask format integer PNG (*_m.png), same stem as the RGB image
Labels species_labels.csv (images, species)

Directory layout

Files in this repository:

README.md
species_labels.csv      # image filename → species
annotations.coco.json   # COCO-format segmentation export
images.tar.gz           # RGB photographs (flat directory `images/`)
masks.tar.gz            # integer part masks (flat directory `masks/`)

After download, unpack next to the CSV:

tar -xzf images.tar.gz
tar -xzf masks.tar.gz

This yields:

images/                 # RGB photographs (flat)
masks/                  # integer part masks, one {stem}_m.png per image
species_labels.csv
annotations.coco.json

Mask class IDs:

ID Label
0 background
1 abdomen
2 head
3 thorax

Intended use

Train and evaluate part segmenters that supply anatomical masks to species classifiers. In the associated paper, this corpus is the Stage A segmentation set only; species classification is trained on a separate, larger originals-only BeeMachine classification corpus.

Note: The full BeeMachine classification dataset is very large and is not hosted here; it will be available upon request.

Splits

The paper uses a frozen species-stratified 75% / 15% / 10% train / validation / test split (seed 42). Those fold filenames are distributed with the supplementary code under outputs/beemachine/frozen_splits/. Train-only six-fold geometric augmentation (original, flips, 90/180/270° rotations) is generated from the frozen training fold and is not shipped here.

Source photographs

Images were collected from citizen-science and museum archives used by BeeMachine (including Bumble Bee Watch, iNaturalist, and BugGuide). Part masks were annotated for head, thorax, and abdomen. Copyright in the underlying photographs remains with the original rights holders; redistribution here is for non-commercial research.
