Lesion segmentation data includes the original image, paired with the expert manual tracing of the lesion boundaries in the form of a binary mask. The Training Data file is a ZIP file, containing 900 dermoscopic lesion images in JPEG format. All images are named using the scheme ISIC_<image_id>.jpg, where <image_id> is a 7-digit unique identifier. EXIF tags in the images have been removed; any remaining EXIF tags should not be relied upon to provide accurate metadata. The Training Ground Truth file is a ZIP file, containing 900 binary mask images in PNG format. All masks are named using the scheme ISIC_<image_id>_Segmentation.png, where <image_id> matches the corresponding Training Data image for the mask. All mask images will have the exact same dimensions as their corresponding lesion image. Mask images are encoded as single-channel (grayscale) 8-bit PNGs (to provide lossless compression), where each pixel is either:

0: representing the background of the image or areas outside the lesion 255: representing the foreground of the image or areas inside the lesion
