# MozzaVID dataset - Base split

A dataset of synchrotron X-ray tomography scans of mozzarella microstructure, aimed for volumetric model benchmarking and food structure analysis.

This version is prepared in the WebDataset format, optimized for streaming. Check our [GitHub](https://github.com/PaPieta/MozzaVID) for details on how to use it. To download raw data instead, visit: [[LINK](https://archive.compute.dtu.dk/files/public/projects/MozzaVID/)].

## Dataset splits

This is a Base split of the dataset containing 4 728 volumes. We also provide a [Small split](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dtudk/MozzaVID_Small) (591 volumes) and a [Large split](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dtudk/MozzaVID_Large) (37 824 volumes).

!!! The above numbers are not exact at the moment as we have not released the test dataset yet.

## Visual overview

We provide two classification targets/granularities:
* 25 cheese types
* 149 cheese samples

class), forming six consecutive fine-grained classes.
