+ # BLV Object Recognition: Synthetic + Real-World
111
+
112
+ A dataset for training and evaluating object recognition and segmentation
113
+ models on infrastructure relevant to **blind and low-vision (BLV) navigation**
114
+ in urban environments. Three configurations plus a flat tree of 3D assets:
115
+
116
+ | Config / tree | Splits | Purpose |
117
+ |---------------|--------|---------|
118
+ | `syn` | `train` | Photorealistic IsaacSim renders for training / pretraining. |
119
+ | `real_ours` | `train` / `validation` / `test` | Real photographs we captured. **`real_ours/test` is the canonical benchmark eval.** |
120
+ | `real_curated` | `train` | Curated frames from public HF segmentation datasets (`curation`, `mapillary`), remapped to our class palette. |
121
+ | `synthetic_objects/` (tree) | n/a | 3D asset library: per-asset `.glb` + `.ply` + `.usdz` triples grouped by BLV class. |

132
+ ## Loading
133
+
134
+ ### With `datasets`
135
+
136
+ ```python
137
+ from datasets import load_dataset
138
+
139
+ syn_train = load_dataset("NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", "syn", split="train")
140
+ ours_train = load_dataset("NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", "real_ours", split="train")
141
+ ours_val = load_dataset("NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", "real_ours", split="validation")
142
+ ours_test = load_dataset("NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", "real_ours", split="test") # canonical eval
143
+ curated_train = load_dataset("NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", "real_curated", split="train")
144
+
145
+ row = ours_test[0]
146
+ row["image"] # PIL.Image.Image, RGB
147
+ row["mask"] # PIL.Image.Image, P-mode (palette) - pixel value == class_id
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ ### Pulling the 3D assets
151
+
152
+ ```python
153
+ from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
154
+
155
+ # All 3D assets for a single class:
156
+ snapshot_download(
157
+ repo_id="NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV", repo_type="dataset",
158
+ allow_patterns=["synthetic_objects/door_button/**"],
159
+ local_dir="./assets",
160
+ )
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ ### With PyTorch directly
164
+
165
+ ```python
166
+ from torch.utils.data import Dataset
167
+ from datasets import load_dataset
168
+ import numpy as np
169
+ import torch

175
+ self.image_size = image_size
176
+
177
+ def __len__(self):
178
+ return len(self.ds)
179
+
180
+ def __getitem__(self, idx):
181
+ row = self.ds[idx]
182
+ img = TF.resize(row["image"].convert("RGB"), [self.image_size, self.image_size])
183
+ mask = TF.resize(row["mask"], [self.image_size, self.image_size],
184
+ interpolation=TF.InterpolationMode.NEAREST)
185
+ img_t = TF.to_tensor(img)
186
+ mask_t = torch.from_numpy(np.array(mask, dtype=np.int64))
187
+ return {"image": img_t, "mask": mask_t, "class": row["object_class"]}
188
+ ```

237
+ ## Mask encoding
238
+
239
+ Each `mask` is a single-channel PNG (PIL `mode="P"`) with an embedded palette.
240
+ Pixel value `i` corresponds to the `i`-th entry in `class_index.json`:
241
+
242
+ | Pixel | Class | Palette RGB |
243
+ |-------|-------|-------------|
244
+ | 0 | `BACKGROUND` | (0, 0, 0) |
245
+ | 1 | `aps_button` | (220, 20, 60) |
246
+ | 2 | `bus_stop` | (255, 140, 0) |
247
+ | 3 | `bus_stop_sign` | (255, 215, 0) |
248
+ | 4 | `crosswalk` | (50, 205, 50) |
249
+ | 5 | `door_button` | (0, 191, 255) |
250
+ | 6 | `elevator` | (138, 43, 226) |
251
+ | 7 | `elevator_button` | (255, 105, 180) |
252
+ | 8 | `escalator` | (0, 128, 128) |
253
+ | 9 | `handrail` | (165, 42, 42) |
254
+ | 10 | `pedestrian_signal` | (75, 0, 130) |
255
+ | 11 | `turnstile` | (255, 20, 147) |
256
+
257
+ Convert to a numeric label map with `np.array(row["mask"])`.
258
+
259
+
260
+ ## Preprocessing
261
+
262
+ Produced by `scripts/build_hf_dataset.py`. Synthetic RGB PNGs are hardlinked
263
+ unchanged from the source tree; the IsaacSim RGBA-encoded semantic masks are
264
+ converted into single-channel palettized PNGs against a global class index;
265
+ synthetic 2D bounding-box `.npy` files are flattened into JSONL columns; the
266
+ real-world COCO polygon annotations are rasterized to the same palettized PNG
267
+ format using `pycocotools`.
268
+
269
+ ## Known limitations
270
+
271
+ - **Resolution mismatch.** Synthetic frames are 1280×720; real-world frames
272
+ are 640×360. Models that resize to a common input shape are unaffected.
273
+ - **Class imbalance in real-world data.** Some classes have few real-world
274
+ examples (e.g. `crosswalk`, `handrail`). Report per-class mIoU alongside any
275
+ aggregate.
276
+ - **`turnstile` is synthetic-only.** Evaluate over the 10 shared classes for
277
+ real-world metrics.
278
+ - **Sim-to-real gap.** Synthetic textures and lighting may not match
279
+ real-world distributions perfectly.
280
+
281
+ ## Ethical considerations
282
+
283
+ - The synthetic data contains no personally identifiable information.
284
+ - Real-world captures were collected in public spaces (All faces have been blurred.); the dataset is intended
285
+ for accessibility research.
286
+ - The class taxonomy targets infrastructure relevant to blind/low-vision
287
+ navigation; models trained on this dataset should not be deployed in
288
+ safety-critical settings without additional validation.

+ # Datasheet: BLV Object Recognition (Synthetic + Real-World)
2
+
3
+ Following the structure of *Datasheets for Datasets* (Gebru et al., 2018).
4
+
5
+ ## Motivation
6
+
7
+ **For what purpose was the dataset created?**
8
+ To enable training and evaluation of computer-vision models for blind and
9
+ low-vision (BLV) navigation aids. The dataset focuses on infrastructure
10
+ objects that BLV travelers must perceive and interact with (signals, doors,
11
+ escalators, handrails, etc.) and pairs photorealistic synthetic data for
12
+ training with real-world photographs (split into train / val / test) for
13
+ evaluation.
14
+
15
+ **Who funded the creation of the dataset?**
16
+ DARoS Lab.
17
+
18
+ ## Composition
19
+
20
+ **What do instances represent?**
21
+ Each instance is a single image with a paired pixel-level segmentation mask.
22
+ Synthetic instances additionally carry 2D bounding boxes per object.
23
+
24
+ **How many instances are there?**
25
+ - `syn/train`: 452704
26
+ - `real_ours/train`: 3703
27
+ - `real_ours/validation`: 396
28
+ - `real_ours/test`: 1482
29
+ - `real_curated/train`: 36466
30
+ - `synthetic_objects/` (3D assets): 500 across 9 classes
31
+
32
+ **Does the dataset contain all possible instances?**
33
+ No. The synthetic data is a finite sample drawn from a parameterized
34
+ generation pipeline; the real-world data is a finite collection of
35
+ photographs.
36
+
37
+ **Is there any missing information?**
38
+ The synthetic-only class `turnstile` has no real-world examples in this
39
+ release.
40
+
41
+ **Are there errors, sources of noise, or redundancies?**
42
+ - Synthetic masks are produced by IsaacSim's Replicator and may contain edge
43
+ artifacts at sub-pixel object boundaries.
44
+ - Real-world polygon annotations were authored manually and may have small
45
+ boundary errors.
46
+
47
+ ## Collection process
48
+
49
+ **Synthetic.** Generated in NVIDIA IsaacSim using Replicator. Each trajectory
50
+ samples an asset, environment, and lighting condition, and records
51
+ RGB + semantic mask + 2D bounding box per frame.
52
+
53
+ **Real-world.** Photographs captured by data collectors at distinct physical
54
+ locations covering the 10 shared object classes; annotated with COCO-format
55
+ polygon segmentations.
56
+
57
+ ## Preprocessing / cleaning / labeling
58
+
59
+ See `README.md` and `scripts/build_hf_dataset.py`. The on-disk layout
60
+ re-encodes synthetic RGBA-coded masks into a single global palettized format
61
+ and rasterizes real-world COCO polygons into the same format. Source RGB PNGs
62
+ are not re-encoded.
63
+
64
+ ## Uses
65
+
66
+ **Has the dataset been used for any tasks already?**
67
+ The dataset will accompany a paper at the NeurIPS 2026 Datasets & Benchmarks
68
+ track (submission pending).
69
+
70
+ **What other tasks could the dataset be used for?**
71
+ Sim-to-real transfer studies, robustness analysis under lighting conditions,
72
+ multi-task learning combining detection and segmentation.
73
+
74
+ **Are there tasks for which the dataset should not be used?**
75
+ The dataset must not be used for surveillance or identification of
76
+ individuals. The synthetic data does not represent real people; the
77
+ real-world data was collected in public spaces and is intended only for
78
+ accessibility research.
79
+
80
+ ## Distribution
81
+
82
+ The dataset is hosted on Hugging Face at `NavAble/NeurIPS_2026_BLV` and
83
+ licensed under CC BY 4.0.
