SBD (Semantic Boundaries Dataset)

Introduced in Semantic contours from inverse detectors1 Jan 2011 archive 2025-07-28

The Semantic Boundaries Dataset (SBD) is a dataset for predicting pixels on the boundary of the object (as opposed to the inside of the object with semantic segmentation). The dataset consists of 11318 images from the trainval set of the PASCAL VOC2011 challenge, divided into 8498 training and 2820 test images. This dataset has object instance boundaries with accurate figure/ground masks that are also labeled with one of 20 Pascal VOC classes.

15 shown of 15 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 147. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
