Dataset Card for Fish-Visual Trait Analysis (Fish-Vista)

Dataset Deetails

Dataset Description

The Fish-Visual Trait Analysis (Fish-Vista) dataset is a large, annotated collection of 60K fish images spanning 1900 different species; it supports several challenging and biologically relevant tasks including species classification, trait identification, and trait segmentation. These images have been curated through a sophisticated data processing pipeline applied to a cumulative set of images obtained from various museum collections. Fish-Vista provides fine-grained labels of various visual traits present in each image. It also offers pixel-level annotations of 9 different traits for 2427 fish images, facilitating additional trait segmentation and localization tasks.

The Fish Vista dataset consists of museum fish images from Great Lakes Invasives Network (GLIN), iDigBio, and Morphbank databases. We acquired these images, along with associated metadata including the scientific species names, the taxonomical family the species belong to, and licensing information, from the Fish-AIR repository.

Notes: [Add instructions for downloading images here]

  • When all images are downloaded and processed, they are contained within a flat directory structure (as demonstrated in sample_images).

Data Instances

  • Species Classification: classification_<split>.csv

    • Approximately 48K images of 419 species for species classification tasks.
    • There are about 35K training, 7.6K test, and 5K validation images.

  • Trait Identification: identification_<split>.csv

    • Approximately 53K images of 682 species for trait identification based on species-level trait labels (i.e., presence/absence of traits based on trait labels for the species from information provided by Phenoscape and FishBase).
    • About 38K training, 8K test_insp (species in training set), 1.6K test_lvsp (species not in training), and 5.3K validation images.
    • Train, test, and validation splits are generated based on traits, so there are 628 species in train, 471 species in test_insp, 51 species in test_lvsp, and 452 in the validation set (4 species only in val).

  • Trait Segmentation: segmentation_data.csv

    • Pixel-level annotations of 9 different traits for 2,427 fish images.
    • About x training, y test and z validation images for the segmentation task
    • These are also used as manually annotated test set for Trait Identification.

  • Image Information

    • Type: JPG
    • Size (x pixels by y pixels): Variable
    • Background (color or none): Uniform (White)

Data Fields

CSV Columns are as follows:

  • filename: Unique filename for our processed images.
  • source_filename: Filename of the source image. Non-unique, since one source filename can result in multiple crops in our processed dataset.
  • original_format: Original format, all jpg/jpeg.
  • arkid: ARKID from FishAIR for the original images. Non-unique, since one source file can result in multiple crops in our processed dataset.
  • verbatim_species: Verbatim species label from FishAIR. This is not the name-resolved species name.
  • species: Scientific species name from FishAIR. This is not the name-resolved species name.
  • family: Taxonomic family
  • source: Source museum collection. GLIN, Idigbio or Morphbank
  • owner: Owner institution within the source collection.
  • standardized_species: Open-tree-taxonomy-resolved species name. This is the species name that we provide for Fish-Vista
  • original_url: URL to download the original, unprocessed image
  • license: License information for the original image
  • adipose_fin: Presence/absence of the adipose fin trait. NA for the classification (FV-419) dataset, since it is only used for identification. 1 indicates presence and 0 indicates absence. This is used for trait identification.
  • pelvic_fin: Presence/absence of the pelvic trait. NA for the classification (FV-419) dataset, since it is only used for identification. 1 indicates presence and 0 indicates absence. This is only used for trait identification.
  • barbel: Presence/absence of the barbel trait. NA for the classification (FV-419) dataset, since it is only used for identification. 1 indicates presence and 0 indicates absence. This is used for trait identification.
  • multiple_dorsal_fin: Presence/absence of the dorsal fin trait. NA for the classification (FV-419) dataset, since it is only used for identification. 1 indicates presence, 0 indicates absence and -1 indicates unknown. This is used for trait identification.

Note:

Data Splits

For each task (or subset), the split is indicated by the CSV name (e.g., classification_<split>.csv). More information is provided in Data Instances, above.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

Fishes are integral to both ecological systems and economic sectors, and studying fish traits is crucial for understanding biodiversity patterns and macro-evolution trends. Currently available fish datasets tend to focus on species classification. They lack finer-grained labels for traits. When segmentation annotations are available in existing datasets, they tend to be for the entire specimen, allowing for segmenation of background, but not trait segmentation. The ultimate goal of Fish-Vista is to provide a clean, carefully curated, high-resolution dataset that can serve as a foundation for accelerating biological discoveries using advances in AI.

Source Data

Images and taxonomic labels were aggregated by Fish-AIR from

Phenoscape and FishBase were used to provide the information on traits at the species level.

Open Tree Taxonomy was used to standardize the species names provided by Fish-AIR.

Data Collection and Processing

Figure 4
Figure 4. An overview of the data processing and filtering pipeline used to obtain Fish-Vista.

We carefully curated a set of 60K images sourced from various museum collections through Fish-AIR, including Great Lakes Invasives Network (GLIN), iDigBio, and Morphbank. Our pipeline incorporates rigorous stages such as duplicate removal, metadata-driven filtering, cropping, background removal using the Segment Anything Model (SAM), and a final manual filtering phase. Fish-Vista supports several biologically meaningful tasks such as species classification, trait identification, and trait segmentation.

Annotations

Annotation process

Phenoscape and FishBase were used to provide the information on species-level traits (the species-trait matrix).

Open Tree Taxonomy was used to standardize the species names provided by Fish-AIR.

Image-level trait segmentations were manually annotated as described below.

The annotation process for the segmentation subset was led by Wasila Dahdul. She provided guidance and oversight to a team of three people from NEON, who used CVAT to label nine external traits in the images. These traits correspond to the following terms for anatomical structures in the UBERON anatomy ontology:

  1. Eye, UBERON_0000019
  2. Head, UBERON_0000033
  3. Barbel, UBERON_2000622
  4. Dorsal fin, UBERON_0003097
  5. Adipose fin, UBERON_2000251
  6. Pectoral fin, UBERON_0000151
  7. Pelvic fin, UBERON_0000152
  8. Anal fin, UBERON_4000163
  9. Caudal fin, UBERON_4000164

Considerations for Using the Data

Discussion of Biases and Other Known Limitations

  • This dataset is imbalanced.
  • There are multiple images of the same specimen for many specimens; sometimes this is due to different views (eg., dorsal or ventral side)
    • The master files contain only images that were determined to be unique (at the pixel level) through MD5 checksum. ^This seems to be a holdover from something else--[More Information Needed]
