Non-melanoma skin cancer segmentation for histopathology dataset

Densely labelled segmentation data for digital pathology images is costly to produce but is invaluable to training effective machine learning models. We make available 290 hand-annotated histopathology tissue sections of the 3 most common skin cancers; basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carci...
