Hyperspectral Foreign-Object Detection in Bedding — Full Dataset (VIS + SWIR)

A 6-band VIS+SWIR hyperspectral dataset for industrial foreign-object detection on a bedding substrate (a tray of wood-shaving / sawdust animal bedding). Captured with a Cubert Ultris X4 + SWIR rig — 6 spectral bands at 450 / 550 / 625 nm (VIS) and 1050 / 1200 / 1450 nm (SWIR), 2400 × 4900 pixels per frame. 252 frames (193 train · 59 val), 51 frames carry pixel-level polygon annotations spanning 23 foreign-object classes.

This is the bedding counterpart to the 61-band lentils dataset at cubert-gmbh/XMR_Industrial_Foreign_Object_Detection_Lentils. Where the lentils set uses the visible-only 61-band Ultris XMR, this set pairs three visible bands with three SWIR bands — the SWIR channels make water, alcohol, transparent plastics and colour-matched polymers separable from the organic bedding even when they are near-invisible in RGB.

The dataset is structured for anomaly detection: the train split is 100 % normal/background (clean bedding, no foreign objects), and the val split holds the anomalous frames (foreign objects placed by hand) plus a few normal frames. This mirrors a real inspection deployment — you learn the appearance of clean product, then flag anything that deviates.

Foreign-object classes

Class id 0 (background) is the bedding substrate + tray. The 23 foreign-object classes and their annotated polygon counts (object-level, from the LabelMe source polygons) are:

id	name	polygons	id	name	polygons
1	water	114	13	PLA_blue_2mm	6
2	alcohol	6	14	PLA_blue_4mm	6
3	POMC	15	15	PLA_blue_8mm	7
4	PET	13	16	PLA_blue_16mm	7
5	leaf	10	17	PLA_white_1mm	2
6	fake_leaf	0 ⚠	18	PLA_white_2mm	5
7	PLA_black_1mm	2	19	PLA_white_4mm	10
8	PLA_black_2mm	5	20	PLA_white_8mm	10
9	PLA_blacK_4mm	10	21	PLA_white_16mm	9
10	PLA_black_8mm	10	22	transparent_plastic	2
11	PLA_black_16mm	8	23	water&alcohol-tray	1
12	PLA_blue_1mm	3

The PLA_<colour>_<size> families are 3-D-printed PLA plastic fragments at five physical sizes (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 mm) in three colours (black, blue, white). The 2 mm and 1 mm fragments — only a handful of pixels each — are the hardest to localise and the most interesting test of spectral (vs spatial) discrimination. water and alcohol are liquid spills; POMC, PET, transparent_plastic are polymer pieces; leaf / fake_leaf are organic vs synthetic foliage.

⚠ See Known data issues below for fake_leaf (id 6), the PLA_blacK_4mm spelling, and the frame_10 label gap.

Why VIS + SWIR

An RGB sensor collapses light into three visible bands. This rig adds three short-wave-infrared bands (1050 / 1200 / 1450 nm). The 1450 nm band sits on a water-absorption feature, so water and alcohol spills go dark in SWIR while looking like wet sawdust in RGB. Transparent and colour-matched plastics that blend into the bedding in the visible range scatter differently in SWIR. The six bands together give a compact material fingerprint that separates foreign objects which are near-isoluminant in RGB.

The example frames below render the same cube two ways: a VIS-RGB composite (625 / 550 / 450 nm → R/G/B) and a SWIR pseudo-RGB (1450 / 1200 / 1050 nm → R/G/B), both per-channel min-max to uint8.

Example frames

All examples are rendered directly from the .cu3s in this repo (native 2400 × 4900), per-channel min-max normalised to uint8. Annotated overlays draw the LabelMe polygons (native space).

Known data issues

This dataset is released as-is from the lab capture, with three documented quirks. None of them block training/eval, but you should know about them:

1. frame_10 label gap (the documented fault). data/val/20250311_101035_frame_10_nok_ok_rdx_rwx.cu3s has a nok (anomalous) filename but no annotation — its LabelMe polygon set and mask are absent. The filename label is correct (the frame does contain a foreign object), but the pixel-level ground truth was never drawn. It is flagged in splits.csv with label_fault=1 (the only such row). For image-level evaluation use the filename label (filename_label=1); for pixel-level evaluation this frame contributes no positives and should be excluded or treated as a known miss.

2. fake_leaf (class id 6) has no polygon annotations. The class exists in the integer class map and appears as a few thin pixel slivers in the rasterised mask PNGs (annotations_raw/), but there is no corresponding LabelMe polygon, so the COCO files contain 0 fake_leaf regions. Treat fake_leaf as effectively unannotated at the object level.

3. PLA_blacK_4mm spelling. Class id 9 is spelled with a capital K (PLA_blacK_4mm) in the canonical class map, while the LabelMe source labels spell it PLA_black_4mm. The COCO build maps both case-insensitively to id 9. The id is authoritative; the string is kept verbatim for traceability.

Coordinate spaces

There are two pixel spaces in play — be explicit about which you use:

• Native (this repo's COCO + masks): 2400 × 4900. This is what cuvis returns when you open a .cu3s and read m.data["cube"].array. All COCO polygons (annotations_canonical/, data/<split>/<stem>.json) and the raw mask PNGs (annotations_raw/) live in this space.
• Training crop: 1800 × 4300. The reference Dinomaly/EfficientAD pipelines crop the tray borders with cube[300:-300, 300:-300] before training. If you reproduce those pipelines, apply the same crop to both cube and annotations; otherwise work in native space directly.

Annotations are semantic polygons transcribed from the LabelMe source. Normal/background frames have an images entry and an empty annotations list. annotations_canonical/val_global_coco.json is the same content merged across the split with global image_id (0..58, matching splits.csv row order within val) and globally-unique annotation ids.

splits.csv columns

column	meaning
split	train / val
stem	frame identifier (filename without .cu3s)
cu3s_path	path inside this repo, e.g. data/val/<stem>.cu3s
coco_json_path	matching per-cu3s COCO path
image_id	always 0 (one frame per cu3s)
filename_label	0 if _ok_ok_ (normal), else 1 (anomalous) — image-level label
has_annotation	1 if the frame has ≥1 foreign-object polygon, else 0
category_ids	;-separated class ids present (empty for normal frames)
label_fault	1 for the single frame_10 filename-vs-mask gap (see Known data issues)

Splits

split	frames	annotated	normal/background
train	193	0	193
val	59	51	8

The all-normal train split is intentional: this is an anomaly-detection benchmark. Train an unsupervised / SSL model (e.g. Dinomaly or EfficientAD) on the clean bedding, then evaluate foreign-object localisation on the annotated val frames.

Acquisition setup

• Camera: Cubert Ultris X4 + SWIR (6 bands: VIS 450/550/625 nm, SWIR 1050/1200/1450 nm)
• Subject: animal-bedding substrate (wood shavings / sawdust) in a tray, with hand-placed foreign objects (PLA fragments, liquids, polymer pieces, foliage)
• Processing mode: Reflectance (cu3s carry the calibration; cuvis returns u16 reflectance ×10000)
• Native frame: 2400 × 4900 × 6

Lab proof-of-concept, not a production deployment study.
