# WildShadow-Image

WildShadow-Image is the paired image split used by the image-mode experiments
of **WildShadowRemover**.

- **Code:** [ylxclimax/WildShadowRemover](https://github.com/ylxclimax/WildShadowRemover)
- **Paper:** [arXiv:2607.26203](https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26203)

| Split | INS | iCity | Infinigen | HSSD | Total |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Train | 30,000 | 3,000 | 3,000 | 0 | 36,000 pairs |
| Test | 2,000 | 800 | 400 | 300 | 3,500 pairs |

HSSD is evaluation-only.

## Layout

```text
WildShadow-Image/
  train/ins/{origin,shadow_free}/shard_000...shard_005/
  train/{icity,infinigen}/{origin,shadow_free}/
  test/{ins,hssd,icity,infinigen}/{origin,shadow_free}/
  manifests/pairs.csv
  BUILD_INFO.json
```

The same filename in `origin/` and `shadow_free/` forms one pair. Each dataset
root can be passed directly to the image training launcher in
WildShadowRemover with single-image mode enabled.

Depth is not included because it is a deterministic model-derived condition,
not source ground truth. Generate current float16 DA3 depth with:

```bash
MODE=image ROOTS=/path/to/WildShadow-Image/train/ins,\
/path/to/WildShadow-Image/train/icity,\
/path/to/WildShadow-Image/train/infinigen \
bash scripts/prepare_depth.sh
```

This prevents legacy u8/u16 visualization depth from being mixed with the
current floating-point training contract.
