Bad masks (ahfi, cutk, iboy ...)

Hi,

I’m just joining the competition, after a quick sanity check of data, It looks like I’ve found out some bad masks. For example, look at chip_id = iboy, mask is zero (no cloud) but the true color image has clouds. Same for cutk, hxhj, ahfi, mpbf.
I’ve downloaded all the labels twice to make sure it was not a download issue.

Do I miss something or we’ve bad masks?

In some of my output during training I’ve noticed that there are more bad masks as well. I’d guess a couple of percent are wrong.

Would be really good if one of the organisers could comment on how clean the test data for the leaderboard is?

Some are inverted like this one:

Some looks very bad as the one you’ve spotted:

5-10% of masks are bad. It’s my opinion after short tests

Thanks for bringing that up. In preparing the dataset, we definitely saw examples of noisy labels. Mostly we saw examples of noise like @MPWARE shared in the first post – chips with scattered clouds that were labeled as all 0 or 1. @dfulu the example you shared is interesting; could you share the chip ID for that one so we could look into it?

Hi @rbgb, I don’t have the ID of that one handy. It was a random example I logged during training.

Here’s a few I do examples I do have

Here’s a bonus example (don’t know the ID)

I would also say 5% of bad masks.
Another example like dfulu:

@rbgb Can we consider the same for both public and private test datasets?

@MPWARE Yes, you can assume a similar distribution of bad masks in the test set.

I also found afyr by accident, it seems you have already discovered this one. Thanks for sharing your observations.
