finedet/tt100k — Tsinghua-Tencent 100K (2021) in the unified detection format

Source: official TT100K 2021 archive from cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn.

Converted by the finedet project into a unified, AutoTrain-compatible layout: image / width / height / objects{bbox, category} with COCO-format [x, y, w, h] boxes in absolute pixels. Boxes are clipped to the image and empty boxes dropped; category ids are densified per the category tables below.

Box format

objects.bbox follows the COCO convention: [x, y, w, h] in absolute pixels, origin at the image's top-left corner.

License

Original dataset: Tsinghua-Tencent 100K, non-commercial (CC BY-NC). Redistributed non-commercially with attribution. https://cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/traffic-sign/

Example images

Boxes are colored by category: near-transparent fill, opaque outline.

Conversion notes

Full native sign vocabulary kept (long tail included), sorted alphabetically for the ClassLabel. The unannotated-heavy 'other' directory is excluded; polygon/ellipse marks contribute their bbox field only.

Splits

• test: 3016 images
• train: 6034 images

Categories

This dataset has 232 categories. The full category table has moved to categories.csv (columns: id, original_id, name; original_id is empty for this dataset).

Training with transformers

The boxes are already in the absolute-pixel COCO [x, y, w, h] format that AutoImageProcessor expects, so fine-tuning a detector needs no bbox conversion:

import torch
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import (AutoImageProcessor, AutoModelForObjectDetection,
                          Trainer, TrainingArguments)

ds = load_dataset("finedet/tt100k")
obj_feat = ds["train"].features["objects"]
if hasattr(obj_feat, "feature"):
    obj_feat = obj_feat.feature
cat_feat = obj_feat["category"]
names = (cat_feat.feature if hasattr(cat_feat, "feature") else cat_feat).names

checkpoint = "facebook/detr-resnet-50"
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(checkpoint)

    checkpoint,
    id2label=dict(enumerate(names)),
    label2id={n: i for i, n in enumerate(names)},
    ignore_mismatched_sizes=True,

             {"bbox": box, "category_id": cat, "area": box[2] * box[3], "iscrowd": 0}
             for box, cat in zip(objs["bbox"], objs["category"])
         ]}
        for i, objs in enumerate(batch["objects"])
    ]
    return processor(images=images, annotations=annotations, return_tensors="pt")


def collate(batch):
    return {"pixel_values": torch.stack([x["pixel_values"] for x in batch]),
            "labels": [x["labels"] for x in batch]}
