SensumSODF (Sensum Solid Oral Dosage Forms)

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.
