This is the official repository for the Kvasir-Capsule dataset, which is the largest publicly released PillCAM dataset. In total, the dataset contains 47,238 labeled images and 117 videos, where it captures anatomical landmarks and pathological and normal findings. The results is more than 4,741,621 images and video frames all together.
The full dataset can be dowloaded via: https://osf.io/dv2ag/
Some users experience problems with downloading the data from OSF. All data is also available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/18vEHN1CG7oNFKdT2NmhtJjrFhb3tLG1Z and here https://datasets.simula.no/kvasir-capsule/ as zip file.
The preprint describing the data can be accessed via: https://osf.io/gr7bn
Here you will find the files used to prepare the dataset, create the baseline experiments, and the official two-fold splits of the dataset.
This repository has the following structure. experiments contains the files used to perform the classification experiments presented in the paper. official_splits contains the official splits of the dataset. We recommend that users of this dataset use these splits in order to ensure a fair comparison of results. plot_scripts contains a the scripts used to generate all plots. static contains some files used in this repository. metadata.csv contains some additional metadata about the labeled images, including coordinates for bounding boxes.
The dataset can be split into three distinct parts; Labeled image data, labeled video data, and unlabaled video data. Each part is further described below.
Labeled images In total, the dataset contains 47,238 labeled images stored using the PNG format. The images can be found in the images folder. The classes that each of the images belongs correspond to the folder they are stored. For example, the ’polyp’ folder contains all polyp images, and the ’Angiectasia’ folder contains all images of Angiectasia. The number of images per class is not balanced, which is a common challenge in the medical field because some findings occur more often than others. This adds an additional challenge for researchers since methods applied to the data should also be able to learn from a small amount of training data. The labeled images represent 14 different classes of findings. Furthermore, the labeled image data includes bounding box coordinates, which can be found in the metadata.csv file.
Labeled videos The dataset contains a total of 43 labeled videos containing different findings and landmarks. This corresponds to approximately 19 hours of video and 1,955,675 video frames that can be converted to images if needed. Each video has been manually assessed by a medical professional working in the field of gastroenterology and resulted in a total of 47,238 annotated frames.
Unlabeled videos In total, the dataset contains 74 unlabeled videos, which is equal to approximatley 25 hours of video and 2,785,829 video frames.
Kvasir-Capsule includes the follow image labels for the labeled part of the dataset:
| ID | Label |

| 0 | Ampulla of Vater |
| 1 | Angiectasia |
| 2 | Blood - fresh |
| 3 | Blood - hematin |
| 4 | Erosion |
| 5 | Erythema |
| 6 | Foreign body |
| 7 | Ileocecal valve |
| 8 | Lymphangiectasia |
| 9 | Normal clean mucosa |
| 10 | Polyp |
| 11 | Pylorus |
| 12 | Reduced mucosal view |
| 13 | Ulcer |
