Uploading and Managing Hidden Test Data

🚀 Welcome to the first hands-on session of the workshop! In this session you will complete the initial setup of the demo challenges on Grand-Challenge.org, meet your team, and upload your first test data to an Archive.

1. Check the Prerequisites

Make sure everyone on your team has prepared, if not, refer to the prerequisites page. If anyone is missing something, help them get set up.

2. Clone the GitHub Repository

Each team member should clone the workshop GitHub repository. This can be done via the command line, if they have git installed:

git clone https://github.com/DIAGNijmegen/rse-workshop-challenge-masterclass.git

Or, alternatively, the files can be downloaded directly from the GitHub page via the '<> Code''Download ZIP' button.

3. Add Team Members as Challenge Admins and Archive Editors

Team leaders: Go to the challenge management interface and add all team members as challenge admins. Go to the archive management interface and add all team members as archive editors. This will allow everyone to collaborate effectively.

4. Upload input to the Archive

The algorithms in the challenge will take a Fundus photograph (an eye) image and attempt to mark blood vessels on it: outputting a binary segmentation mask.

Each team member:

  • In the Workshop Files, find the archive-data/ directory.
  • Select one image at random.
  • Convert your own age to a number of months.
  • Upload both the image and the age to the archive under the labels 'Color Fundus Image' and 'Age in months'

Note: the image might take a short while to appear as it is being processed and validated.

You've just added your first hidden-test data, well done! 🙏

Participants will never see this data directly, but the challenge phase will use this input to feed to submitted algorithms.

Bonus

Take a few moments to navigate and explore the archive user interface. Get familiar with its features, and ensure that all images and ages have been uploaded successfully.
