BSDS500 (Berkeley Segmentation Dataset 500)
Berkeley Segmentation Data Set 500 (BSDS500) is a standard benchmark for contour detection. This dataset is designed for evaluating natural edge detection that includes not only object contours but also object interior boundaries and background boundaries. It includes 500 natural images with carefully annotated boundaries collected from multiple users. The dataset is divided into three parts: 200 for training, 100 for validation and the rest 200 for test.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
All 8 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.
Papers archive 2025-07-28
4 shown of 4 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 261. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
