| # GPIC-Camera |
|
|
|  |
|
|
| Per-image camera parameter annotations for the **GPIC** dataset |
| (train / test / val; train = 8,000 shards, test = 1,000,000 images, val = 200,000 images), captioned by the [**Puffin-World**](https://github.com/KangLiao929/Puffin) model. More captioned datasets are provided in our [**Puffin-16M**](https://kangliao929.github.io/projects/puffin-16m/) website. |
|
|
| The collage above visualizes the camera maps on sample images — each |
| pair shows the **up field** (green arrows: the projected gravity-up direction) |
| and the **latitude field** (colored contours: angle above/below the horizon). |
|
|
| ## Format |
|
|
| One `.tar` per source shard, under `train/`, `test/`, `val/` |
| (`gpic_train_00000.tar` … , `gpic_test_00000.tar` … , `gpic_val_00000.tar` …), |
| each containing one `.json` per image whose name matches the source image stem. |
|
|
| Each JSON holds the predicted monocular camera parameters: |
|
|
| | Field | Meaning | Unit | |
| |-------|---------|------| |
| | `roll` | camera roll | radians | |
| | `pitch` | camera pitch | radians | |
| | `vfov` | vertical field-of-view | radians | |
| | `k1` | radial distortion coefficient | – | |
| | `parse_ok` | whether the model output parsed within valid ranges | bool | |
|
|
| Example: |
|
|
| ```json |
| {"roll": 0.0123, "pitch": -0.0871, "vfov": 1.0123, "k1": 0.0000, "parse_ok": true} |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Camera Parameter Distributions |
|
|
| Histograms of the predicted roll / pitch / vertical-FoV |
| (proportion of valid samples per 10° bin; `parse_ok=False` excluded; computed on |
| a ~4.9M-image sample across train/test/val). |
|
|
|  |
|
|
| | split | roll μ / med / σ | pitch μ / med / σ | FoV μ / med / σ | |
| |-------|------------------|-------------------|-----------------| |
| | sample (4.9M) | 0.1° / 0.0° / 5.6° | −2.6° / −1.3° / 13.0° | 33.8° / 31.2° / 11.6° | |
|
|
| - **Roll** is sharply peaked at 0° (images shot upright/level). |
| - **Pitch** is centered slightly negative (mild downward-looking tendency). |
| - **FoV** concentrates in 20–45° (median ≈ 31°) with a long wide-angle tail. |

| If you'd like a dataset with a more diverse and uniform distribution of camera parameters, please refer to our [Puffin-4M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/KangLiao/Puffin-4M) and [Puffin-16M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/KangLiao/Puffin-16M) datasets. |
|
|
| ### Dataset Download |
| You can download the entire dataset using the following command: |
| ```bash |
| hf download KangLiao/GPIC-Camera --repo-type dataset |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Caption Pipeline |
| Beyond this captioned dataset, we also release **a complete captioning pipeline** for annotating camera parameters for arbitrary datasets, analyzing camera parameter distributions, and visualizing the corresponding camera maps. The pipeline is available in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/KangLiao929/Puffin). |
