<h1 align="center"><strong>Pucks dataset</strong></h1>

## Dataset Overview

<div align="justify">

The Pucks Dataset is part of the L&Aser surrogate target recognition pipeline developed by Laudando & Associates LLC. This dataset contains high-resolution field images annotated with bounding boxes around small circular surrogate targets (“pucks”) used to simulate real weed targets for the L&Aser weeding system.

</div>

## Contents

- Raw RGB images collected in field conditions using a NVIDIA Jetson and monocular camera

- Bounding boxes in COCO-style format generated using a neural network

- Annotated visual overlays for quick inspection

## Preview Format

<div align="justify">

This dataset is optimized for visual inspection on the Hugging Face Hub, with an additional ```annotated_image``` column for rapid validation. The raw COCO JSON and images are included in their original form for reproducibility and training.

</div>

## Example Use

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("Laudando-Associates-LLC/pucks", split="train")
img = ds[0]["image"]
ann = ds[0]["bboxes"]
```

## Recording Date

<div align="justify">

The data was originally collected in ROS 2 bag format in April 2024 during controlled field trials conducted by Laudando & Associates LLC.
This dataset is a stripped-down version containing only the extracted RGB images and their corresponding object detection annotations.
