Shape Polygons Dataset

A synthetic dataset containing 70,000 images of various colored polygons (triangles to octagons) rendered on black backgrounds.

Dataset Description

This dataset consists of programmatically generated polygon images with full metadata about each shape's properties. It's designed for tasks such as:

• Shape Classification: Classify polygons by number of vertices (3-8)
• Regression Tasks: Predict shape properties (size, angle, position, color)
• Object Detection: Locate and identify shapes within images
• Generative Models: Train models to generate geometric shapes

Dataset Statistics

Split	Number of Images
Train	60,000
Test	10,000
Total	70,000

Shape Types

The dataset includes 6 different polygon types:

• Triangle (3 vertices)
• Quadrilateral (4 vertices)
• Pentagon (5 vertices)
• Hexagon (6 vertices)
• Heptagon (7 vertices)
• Octagon (8 vertices)

Metadata Fields

Each metadata.csv contains the following columns:

Column	Type	Description
filename	string	Image filename (e.g., "00001.png")
size	float	Relative size of the polygon (0.0 - 1.0)
angle	float	Rotation angle in degrees (0.0 - 360.0)
vertices	int	Number of vertices (3-8)
center_x	float	X-coordinate of center (0.0 - 1.0, normalized)
center_y	float	Y-coordinate of center (0.0 - 1.0, normalized)
color_r	float	Red color component (0.0 - 1.0)
color_g	float	Green color component (0.0 - 1.0)
color_b	float	Blue color component (0.0 - 1.0)

Sample Images

Here are some example images from the dataset:

Usage

Loading with Hugging Face Datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/shape-polygons-dataset")

# Access train and test splits
train_data = dataset["train"]
test_data = dataset["test"]

# Get a sample
sample = train_data[0]
print(f"Vertices: {sample['vertices']}, Size: {sample['size']:.2f}")

Loading with Pandas

import pandas as pd
from PIL import Image
import os

# Load metadata
train_metadata = pd.read_csv("train/metadata.csv")
test_metadata = pd.read_csv("test/metadata.csv")

# Load an image
img_path = os.path.join("train/images", train_metadata.iloc[0]["filename"])
image = Image.open(img_path)
image.show()

# Filter by number of vertices (e.g., triangles only)
triangles = train_metadata[train_metadata["vertices"] == 3]
print(f"Number of triangles: {len(triangles)}")

PyTorch DataLoader Example

import torch
from torch.utils.data import Dataset, DataLoader
from PIL import Image
import pandas as pd
import os

class PolygonDataset(Dataset):
    def __init__(self, root_dir, split="train", transform=None):
        self.root_dir = root_dir
        self.split = split
        self.transform = transform
        self.metadata = pd.read_csv(os.path.join(root_dir, split, "metadata.csv"))
    
    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.metadata)
    
    def __getitem__(self, idx):
        row = self.metadata.iloc[idx]
        img_path = os.path.join(self.root_dir, self.split, "images", row["filename"])
        image = Image.open(img_path).convert("RGB")
        
        if self.transform:
            image = self.transform(image)
        
        # Number of vertices as classification label (0-5 for 3-8 vertices)
        label = row["vertices"] - 3
        
        return image, label

# Create dataset and dataloader
dataset = PolygonDataset("path/to/dataset", split="train")
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)
