📖 1. Overview

MOSXAV is a benchmark dataset designed for multi-object segmentation in X-ray angiography videos. It provides high-quality, manually annotated segmentation ground truth, supporting the analysis of vascular structures in dynamic medical imaging. Each video contains 33∼70 frames at a resolution of 512×512 pixels. Vascular regions are annotated by experienced radiologists, with annotations focused on one or two key frames where the contrast agent is most prominent.

• The training and validation sets include 30 sequences (2,335 frames), with annotations every 5 frames.
• The test set consists of 12 sequences (488 frames), with frame-level annotations throughout.

MOSXAV provides a valuable resource for the development and benchmarking of methods in X-ray angiography video segmentation.

🛠️ 2. Annotation Protocol

To ensure high-quality and anatomically accurate labels, we implemented a rigorous, multi-stage annotation workflow. This process combined the efficiency of deep learning with the precision of manual expert refinement. The protocol consisted of four primary phases:

• Annotator Training: Annotators were trained on a specialized subset of images to standardize their understanding of anatomical structures and specific labeling guidelines.
• Semi-Automated Initialization: We utilized a semi-automated approach to generate initial segmentation masks. This was powered by the PaddleSeg framework, leveraging models pre-trained on extensive image and video datasets to provide a robust baseline.
• Expert Revision: Human annotators meticulously reviewed the AI-generated masks. This involved careful delineation of vessel boundaries and manual adjustments to correct any discrepancies in the automated output.
• Consensus & Quality Assurance: To maintain consistency, a final review and consensus-building phase were conducted, ensuring that all labels met our strict quality benchmarks.

📊 3. Object Categories and Statistics

The MOSXAV dataset is designed to support two distinct medical imaging challenges: Video Object Segmentation (VOS) and Multi-class Semantic Segmentation.

3.1 Video Object Segmentation (VOS)

The VOS task focuses on the temporal tracking and segmentation of coronary arteries as they are opacified by contrast agents. This task requires high temporal consistency across video sequences:

• Objective: Segmenting coronary arteries filled with contrast agents throughout the cardiac cycle.
• Object Density: Train & Val Sets: Up to 5 individual objects per sequence. Test Set: Increased complexity with up to 10 individual objects per sequence to evaluate model scalability and robustness.

3.2 Semantic Segmentation

The semantic segmentation task targets the simultaneous identification of critical intervention tools and anatomical features. We define four primary categories:

Category	Label ID	Color Preview	RGB Color	Description
Background	0		[0,0,0]	All pixels not belonging to the below classes, including the spine, ribs, diaphragm, and image noise.
Vessel	1		[85,170,255]	The primary coronary anatomy under observation.
Contrast Catheter	2		[170,255,0]	The specific catheter used for dye injection.
Catheter	3		[249,193,0]	General-purpose intervention or diagnostic catheters.
Balloon	4		[255,0,0]	Angioplasty balloons used during interventional procedures.
Others	5		[244,108,59]	Other category.

3.3 File Structure

The MOSXAV dataset is organized into a hierarchical directory structure to support both video-level (VOS) and frame-level (Semantic Segmentation) tasks. The data is split into trainval, and test directories, each containing the original sequences and their corresponding pixel-level annotations.
