IndoorVG — Indoor Visual Genome (COCO format)

IndoorVG is a curated split of Visual Genome targeting real-world indoor scenarios (kitchens, offices, living rooms, …). It was proposed in Neau et al. (2024) and reformatted here in standard COCO-JSON format.

It was produced as part of the SGG-Benchmark framework and used to train the models described in the REACT paper (Neau et al., BMVC 2025).

The 84 object classes and 37 predicate classes were manually selected and semi-automatically merged to reduce label noise and ambiguity compared to VG150, focusing on indoor-relevant concepts.

Annotation overview

Each image comes with:

Object bounding boxes — 84 indoor-focused object categories.
Scene-graph relations — 37 predicate categories connecting pairs of objects as directed (subject, predicate, object) triplets.

Four random validation images with bounding boxes (coloured by category) and relation arrows (yellow, labelled with the predicate name).

Dataset structure

DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['image', 'image_id', 'width', 'height', 'file_name',
                   'objects', 'relations'],
        num_rows: 9538
    }),
    val: Dataset({
        features: ['image', 'image_id', 'width', 'height', 'file_name',
                   'objects', 'relations'],
        num_rows: 733
    }),
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['image', 'image_id', 'width', 'height', 'file_name',
                   'objects', 'relations'],
        num_rows: 4403
    }),
})

Each row contains:

Field	Type	Description
`image`	`Image`	PIL image
`image_id`	`int`	Original Visual Genome image id
`width` / `height`	`int`	Image dimensions
`file_name`	`str`	Original filename
`objects`	`List[dict]`	`{id, category_id, bbox (xywh), area, iscrowd, segmentation}`
`relations`	`List[dict]`	`{id, subject_id, object_id, predicate_id}` — ids refer to `objects[*].id`

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import json

ds = load_dataset("maelic/IndoorVG-coco-format")

# Recover label maps from the embedded metadata
meta = json.loads(ds["train"].info.description)
cat_id2name  = {c["id"]: c["name"] for c in meta["categories"]}
pred_id2name = {c["id"]: c["name"] for c in meta["rel_categories"]}

sample = ds["train"][0]
image  = sample["image"]          # PIL Image
for obj in sample["objects"]:
    print(cat_id2name[obj["category_id"]], obj["bbox"])
for rel in sample["relations"]:
    print(rel["subject_id"], "--", pred_id2name[rel["predicate_id"]], "->", rel["object_id"])

This dataset can be used with the pycocotools API for scene graph generation:

pip install git+https://github.com/Maelic/pycocotools

from pycocootools.coco import COCO

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("maelic/IndoorVG-coco-format")
# Convert Hugging Face dataset to COCO format
coco_ds = {
    "images": ds["train"]["image_id"],
    "annotations": ds["train"]["objects"],
    "rel_annotations": ds["train"]["relations"],
    "categories": json.loads(ds["train"].info.description)["categories"],
    "rel_categories": json.loads(ds["train"].info.description)["rel_categories"],
}
coco = COCO()
coco.dataset = coco_ds
coco.createIndex()

for img_id in coco.getImgIds():
    rel_ids = coco.getRelIds(imgIds=img_id)
    relations.extend(coco.loadRels(rel_ids))
