# GuideDog Gold Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
Human-verified gold-standard annotations for blind and low-vision (BLV) navigation assistance. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
|
|
GuideDog Gold is a curated dataset of egocentric street-view images with human-verified annotations designed to help develop assistive AI systems for blind and low-vision users. Each image contains: |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Scene descriptions** with spatial context |
|
|
- **Object detection** with clock-direction localization (10-2 o'clock range) |
|
|
- **Depth information** for detected objects |
|
|
- **Hazard annotations** identifying safety-critical elements |
|
|
- **Gold-standard guidance text** following BLV navigation standards |
|
|
|
|
|
## Annotation Standards |
|
|
|
|
|
Annotations follow the GuideDog S1/S2/S3 framework: |
|
|
- **S1**: Scene description and user position context |
|
|
- **S2**: Hazards at clock directions with distances |
|
|
- **S3**: Summary and recommended navigation direction |
|
|
|
|
|
## Intended Use |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is intended for: |
|
|
- Training and evaluating vision-language models for BLV assistance |
|
|
- Research on proactive navigation guidance systems |
|
|
- Benchmarking multimodal models on accessibility tasks |
|
|
|
|
|
## Ethical Considerations |
|
|
|
|
|
- All images are sourced from publicly available walking tour videos |
|
|
- No personally identifiable information is included |
|
|
- Dataset is provided for research purposes only |
