Data obtained from LiTS - Liver Tumor Segmentation Challenge. Link: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/17094#participate

The project was trained on the training data, with a (101, 15, 15) train-test-valid split. Download the dataset and add it the scans as follows:

datasets/
  liver/
    scans/
      train/
        segmentation-100.nii
        volume-100.nii
        ...
      test/
        ...
      valid/
        ...

Then run python datasets/liver/scans_to_images.py.

Data obtained from CVC-ClinicDB.
Link: https://polyp.grand-challenge.org/Databases/

We use the version from Kaggle since it's in color and uses PNG: https://www.kaggle.com/balraj98/cvcclinicdb

Download the dataset and add it as follows:

datasets/
  polyp/
    CVC-ClinicDB/
      Original/
        612.png
        ...
      Ground Truth/
        ...

Then run python datasets/polyp/split_dataset.py.
