The Head Segmentation (GWHS) dataset aims at an instance segmentation of spikelets, including their damage by biotic and abiotic stresses

The dataset targets a cascade of several objectives:

• Detect fully visible spikes in a canopy
• Segment and count spikelets per spike
• Detect and quantify diseases (such as fusarium head blight)
• Quantify effects of abiotic stress (such as heat, frost, or shading)

To achieve this we aim to label a dataset enabling to:

1. detect fully visible spike including their orientation to the camera
2. segmentation of ALL spikelets within a head in order to count them and determine their size
3. quantify damage related to change in size, color and shape of the spikelets
