Vector-LabPics dataset for images of materials in vessels in the chemistry lab

LabPics 2: A newer and larger a version (But harder to use)  can be found here:  https://zenodo.org/record/4736111

The Vector-LabPics V1 dataset contains 2187 images of chemical experiments with materials within mostly transparent vessels in various laboratory settings and in everyday conditions such as beverage handling. Each image in the dataset has an annotation of the region of each material phase and its type. In addition, the region of each vessel and its labels, parts, and corks are also marked.
