unifies several densely labeled image data sets: ADE [43], OpenSurfaces [4], Pascal-Context [19], Pascal-Part [6], and the Describable Textures Dataset [7]
These data sets contain examples of a broad range of objects, scenes, object parts, textures, and materials in a variety of contexts
segmented down to the pixel level except textures and scenes which are given for full-images
every image pixel in the data set is annotated with one of the eleven common color names according to the human perceptions classified by van de Weijer
The concept labels in Broden are normalized and merged from their original data sets so that every class corresponds to an English word
Labels are merged based on shared synonyms, disregarding positional distinctions such as ‘left’ and ‘top’
