# DIOR Hugging Face-Ready Vision Dataset

This dataset is a restructured version of the DIOR (Object Detection in Optical Remote Sensing Images), specifically designed to simplify object detection workflows. By converting them to the COCO format, this project provides an easier way to use DIOR with popular computer vision frameworks. Additionally, the dataset is formatted for seamless integration with Hugging Face datasets, unlocking new possibilities for training and experimentation.

## 📂 Dataset Structure
### COCO Format
The dataset follows the COCO dataset structure, making it straightforward to work with:

```plaintext
dior/  
├── annotations/  
│   ├── instances_train.json  
│   ├── instances_val.json  
│   └── instances_test.json  
├── train/
├── val/
├── test/
```
### Hugging Face Format
The dataset is compatible with the datasets library. You can load it directly using:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset  

dataset = load_dataset("HichTala/dior")
```

## 🖼️ Sample Visualizations

Above: An example of resized images with bounding boxes in COCO format.

## 🚀 Getting Started
### Install Required Libraries

- Install datasets for Hugging Face compatibility:

```bash
pip install datasets  
```
- Use any object detection framework supporting COCO format for training.

### Load the Dataset
#### Hugging Face:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset  

dataset = load_dataset("HichTala/dior")  
train_data = dataset["train"]  
```

#### Custom Script for COCO-Compatible Frameworks:
```python
import json  
from pycocotools.coco import COCO

coco = COCO("annotations/train.json")
```

see demo notebook [here](https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi/blob/master/PythonAPI/pycocoDemo.ipynb) for more details.

## 📚 Used in Research

This processed version of DIOR has been used in the paper:\
📄 [LoRA for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Object Detection](https://huggingface.co/papers/2504.06330)\
The dataset served as a target domain for evaluating the generalization capabilities of diffusion-based object detectors in low-data regimes.
