Breakpoint Grounding 5M

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("BreakpointAI/breakpoint-grounding-5m", split="train")
ds[0]  # {'source_dataset': ..., 'relative_path': ..., 'image_caption': ..., 'object_captions': [...], 'normalized_boxes': [...], 'img_size_wh': [...]}

Dataset summary

An annotations-only companion to Breakpoint Grounding 55M: image-level captions, object bounding boxes, and a caption for every box, for 5,788,300 images drawn from 16 public object-detection/tracking benchmarks.

No image bytes are included in this release. Several of the source benchmarks (notably ImageNet and Objects365) restrict redistribution of their images. To stay clear of that, this dataset publishes only the annotations Breakpoint authored, plus a source_dataset + relative_path pointer back to each image — usable by anyone who already has their own licensed copy of the relevant source dataset, laid out in its standard directory structure.

• 5,788,300 images, each with one image-level caption
• 51,196,466 bounding boxes (8.84 per image on average), each with its own caption

How it was built

• Object detection: bounding boxes and class labels were produced by an open-vocabulary detector (Grounding DINO) as an upstream step, on top of the source datasets' images.
• Per-object captions: InternVL3-2B, served via LMDeploy. Each detected box was cropped (no padding) and captioned with:

  <image> Describe this <category name> in 20 words or less and focus on its color, appearance, size, and style, etc.

  where <category name> is the detector's class label for that box.
• Image-level captions: InternVL3-8B, prompted with:

  <image> Write a single, natural-language description of this image. Do not use bullet points or lists. Keep it under 100 words.

Annotations are not human-labeled and contain the usual model-generated errors: missed objects, spurious boxes, imprecise coordinates, caption hallucinations.

Dataset structure

Field	Type	Description
source_dataset	string	Which of the 16 source benchmarks this image came from.
relative_path	string	Path to the image within that source dataset's standard layout.
image_caption	string	A single natural-language caption describing the whole image.
object_captions	Sequence(string)	One caption per detected object. Index-aligned with normalized_boxes.
normalized_boxes	Sequence(Sequence(float32))	One bounding box per detected object: [x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max] (xyxy), normalized to [0, 1].
img_size_wh	Sequence(int32)	Original image size as [width, height] in pixels.

Licensing

The annotations in this dataset (image_caption, object_captions, normalized_boxes, img_size_wh) are released by Breakpoint AI under CC BY 4.0.

Images are not included. To use this dataset with actual pixels, obtain each source dataset separately under its own license/terms and join on source_dataset + relative_path. Several sources (ImageNet, Objects365 in particular) restrict commercial use and/or redistribution — check the terms of whichever source(s) you need before using their images.
