| # VIP Image-Level |
|
|
| **VIP: Finding Important People in Images** (CVPR 2015) |
|
|
| [](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_cvpr_2015/html/Mathialagan_VIP_Finding_Important_2015_CVPR_paper.html) [](https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.05678) [](https://github.com/mclint/vip) |
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
|
|
| Pairwise ground-truth importance comparisons between two people in the same image. |
|
|
| - Comparisons: 538 |
| - Data file: `data/comparisons.jsonl` |
|
|
| Each JSONL row is a complete comparison. The two `relative_importance` |
| values are normalized within that row and sum to 1. They are not absolute |
| scores and should not be compared directly across unrelated comparisons. |
|
|
| ## Data Fields |
|
|
| | Field | Description | |
| |---|---| |
| | `comparison_id` | Stable identifier for the person pair. | |
| | `image.image_id` | VIP image identifier. | |
| | `image.source_filename` | Original source-image filename used by the optional downloader. | |
| | `image.media_path` | Relative path expected by the local viewer. | |
| | `image.width`, `image.height` | Dimensions of the task image in pixels. | |
| | `person_a.person_id`, `person_b.person_id` | Person identifiers within the image. | |
| | `person_a.bbox_xywh`, `person_b.bbox_xywh` | Face bounding boxes as `[x, y, width, height]` in task-image pixels. | |
| | `person_a.relative_importance`, `person_b.relative_importance` | Normalized pair-relative importance values that sum to 1. | |
| | `label` | More important side: `a`, `b`, or `tie`. | |
|
|
| Bounding boxes identify faces. They preserve the original release coordinates |
| and may extend beyond an image boundary when a face is partially outside the |
| frame. Clip boxes to the corresponding image dimensions before cropping. |
|
|
| ## Example |
|
|
| ```json |
| { |
| "comparison_id": "00001-2-3", |
| "image": { |
| "image_id": "00001", |

| "media_path": "task_flickr/00001.jpg", |
| "width": 600, |
| "height": 401 |
| }, |
| "person_a": { |
| "person_id": 2, |
| "bbox_xywh": [ |
| 256.0, |
| 73.0, |
| 121.0, |
| 122.0 |
| ], |
| "relative_importance": 0.9 |
| }, |
| "person_b": { |
| "person_id": 3, |
| "bbox_xywh": [ |
| 393.0, |
| 156.0, |
| 44.0, |
| 44.0 |
| ], |
| "relative_importance": 0.1 |
| }, |
| "label": "a" |
| } |
| ``` |
