# 🗂 GridNet-HD dataset
## 1. Introduction
This dataset was developed for **3D semantic segmentation task** using both **images and 3D point clouds** specialized on electrical infrastructure.
**Grid** (electrical) **Net**work at **H**igh **D**ensity and High Resolution represents the first Image+LiDAR dataset accurately co-referenced in the electrical infrastructure domain.
This dataset is associated with a public leaderboard hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, available at: [leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/heig-vd-geo/GridNet-HD-Leaderboard).
The dataset is associated with the following paper:
> **Title**: GridNet-HD: A High-Resolution Multi-Modal Dataset for LiDAR-Image Fusion on Power Line Infrastructure
> **Authors**: Masked for instance
> **Conference**: Submitted to CVPR 2026
This repository hosts the official data splits and resources used in the experiments reported in the paper.

## 2. Dataset Structure
This dataset consists of 36 geographic zones, each represented by a folder named after its area code (e.g. t1z4, t1z5a, etc.).
Each zone contains aligned multimodal data (images, segmentation masks, LiDAR point cloud, and camera parameters), enabling high-precision image-to-3D projection for multimodal fusion 3D semantic segmentation task.
A split.json file at the root of the dataset defines the official train/test partition of the zones.
To ensure fair evaluation on the **official test set**, ground truth annotations are not provided for either the images or the LiDAR point clouds.
Instead, participants must submit their predictions to the [leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/heig-vd-geo/GridNet-HD-Leaderboard), where the official metrics (mIoU) are automatically computed against the hidden labels.

## 3. Class Grouping
Original classes have been grouped into **12 semantic groups** as follows:
| Group ID | Original Classes | Description |
|:--------:|:-----------------:|:---------------------------------:|
| 0 | 0,1,2,3,4 | Pylon |
| 1 | 5 | Conductor cable |
| 2 | 6,7 | Structural cable |
| 3 | 8,9,10,11 | Insulator |
| 4 | 14 | High vegetation |
| 5 | 15 | Low vegetation |
| 6 | 16 | Herbaceous vegetation |
| 7 | 17,18 | Rock, gravel, soil |
| 8 | 19 | Impervious soil (Road) |
| 9 | 20 | Water |
| 10 | 21 | Building |
| 255 | 12,13,255 | Unassigned-Unlabeled |
If interested the original classes are described in the Appendices of the paper.
> 📝 Note: group `(12,13,255)` is **ignored during official evaluations**.

## 4. Dataset Splits
The dataset is split into two parts:
- **Train** (~70% of LiDAR points)
- **Test** (~30% of LiDAR points)
The splits were carefully constructed to guarantee:
- **Full coverage of all semantic groups** (except the ignored group)
- **No project overlap** between train and test
- **Balanced distribution** in terms of class representation
Project assignments are listed in `split.json` with a proposal of split train/val.
**Note** that the test set give only the LiDAR without labels (without ground_truth field) and without mask labeled for images, this label part is keep by us in private mode for leaderboard management. To submit results on test set and obtain mIoU score on leaderboard, please follow instructions here: [leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/heig-vd-geo/GridNet-HD-Leaderboard) on the remap classes presented below.
