在本文中，我们提出了一个由19407张x射线图像组成的新数据集。这些图像被组织在一个名为GDXray的公共数据库中，可以免费使用，但仅用于研究和教育目的。该数据库包括五组x射线图像：铸件、焊缝、行李、自然物体和环境。每组有几个系列，每个系列有几个x射线图像。大部分的丛书都有注解或标签。在这种情况下，感兴趣的对象的边界框的坐标或图像的标签可以在标准文本文件中获得。GDXray的大小是3.5 GB，可以从我们的网站下载。我们相信GDXray代表了对x射线检测社区的相关贡献。一方面，学生、研究人员和工程师可以使用这些x射线图像来开发、测试和评估图像分析和计算机视觉算法，而无需购买昂贵的x射线设备。另一方面，这些图像可以用作基准，以便测试和比较不同方法在相同数据上的性能。此外，该数据库可用于人类检查员的培训计划。
In this paper, we present a new dataset consisting of 19,407 X-ray images. The images are organized in a public database called GDXray that can be used free of charge, but for research and educational purposes only. The database includes five groups of X-ray images: castings, welds, baggage, natural objects and settings. Each group has several series, and each series several X-ray images. Most of the series are annotated or labeled. In such cases, the coordinates of the bounding boxes of the objects of interest or the labels of the images are available in standard text files. The size of GDXray is 3.5 GB and it can be downloaded from our website. We believe that GDXray represents a relevant contribution to the X-ray testing community. On the one hand, students, researchers and engineers can use these X-ray images to develop, test and evaluate image analysis and computer vision algorithms without purchasing expensive X-ray equipment. On the other hand, these images can be used as a benchmark in order to test and compare the performance of different approaches on the same data. Moreover, the database can be used in the training programs of human inspectors.
