## 📊 Dataset Structure

```bash

### 📋 Metadata Columns
- `filename`: Unique image identifier
- `caption`: Detailed natural language description
- `motion_type`: [moving, sliding, drifting, streaking, arcing]
- `dynamics`: [constant, accelerating, decelerating, rotating, curving]
- `num_objects`: Number of objects in scene (1-3)

## 🎨 Visual Features

### 🟦 Geometric Shapes
- **Basic**: Circle, Square, Rectangle, Ellipse
- **Complex**: Triangle, Pentagon
- **Size Variations**: Tiny → Huge (5 scales)
- **Color Palette**: 14 distinct colors with contrasting outlines

### 🎬 Motion Dynamics
```python
# Motion Types
MOTION_VERBS = ['moving', 'sliding', 'drifting', 'streaking', 'arcing']

# Dynamics
MOTION_DYNAMICS = [
    'at constant speed', 
    'while accelerating', 
    'while decelerating', 
    'while rotating', 
    'in a curve while rotating'
]
```

### 🎯 Spatial Relations
- **Positional**: top-left, center, bottom-right, etc.
- **Relative**: passing by, near, adjacent to
- **Size comparisons**: larger than, smaller than

## 📝 Example Captions

**Motion Scene**:  
*"A large wide blue rectangle with a yellow outline is sliding while accelerating from the top left towards the bottom center, passing by a static medium standard red circle with a black outline in the middle."*

**Static Scene**:  
*"An image with a huge green pentagon with magenta outline in the bottom right and a tiny tall orange ellipse with cyan outline in the top center."*

### Advanced Usage
```python
# Filter motion scenes
motion_scenes = [item for item in dataset['train'] 
                if 'moving' in item['caption'] or 'sliding' in item['caption']]

# Get multi-object scenes
multi_object = [item for item in dataset['train'] 
               if 'and' in item['caption']]
```
