-
-  ## Overview
-
-  The DoYouSeeMe benchmark is a comprehensive evaluation framework designed to assess visual perception capabilities in Machine Learning Language Models (MLLMs). This fully automated test suite dynamically generates both visual stimuli and perception-focused questions (VPQA) with incremental difficulty levels, enabling a graded evaluation of MLLM performance across multiple perceptual dimensions. Our benchmark consists of both 2D and 3D photorealistic evaluations of MLLMs.
-
-  ## Theoretical Foundation
-
-  The dataset's structure is grounded in established human psychological frameworks that categorize visual perception into core abilities (Chalfant and Scheffelin, 1969). Drawing inspiration from standardized assessments like the Test of Visual Perception Skills (TVPS) (Gardner, 1988) and Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT) (Colarusso, 2003), DoYouSeeMe adapts these principles to create a systematic evaluation methodology for machine vision systems.
-
-  ## Perceptual Dimensions
-
-  The benchmark focuses on seven key dimensions of visual perception:
-
-  1. **Shape Discrimination (2D and 3D)**: Evaluates the ability to recognize shapes.
-
-  2. **Joint Shape-Color Discrimination (2D and 3D)**: Evaluates the ability to jointly recognize shapes and color.
-
-  3. **Visual Form Constancy (2D and 3D)**: Tests MLLM ability to identify a test shape configuration from similarly placed disctractors.
-
-  4. **Letter Disambiguation (2D and 3D)**: Tests the recognition of letters.
-
-  5. **Visual Figure-Ground (2D)**: Evaluates the ability to distinguish the main object from its background under varying conditions.
-
-  6. **Visual Closure (2D)**: Assesses the ability to complete partially obscured shapes by mentally filling in missing information.
-
-  7. **Visual Spatial (2D and 3D)**: Examines the ability to perceive positions of objects relative to oneself and to other objects.
-
-
-  Note: While human visual perception also includes Visual Memory (the ability to remember sequences of presented images), this dimension is omitted from the benchmark as current MLLMs lack short-term visual memory capabilities beyond textual descriptions.
-
-  ## Technical Implementation
-
-  The entire dataset generation framework is implemented in Python and uses SVG representations to create visual stimuli with precisely controlled parameters. This approach allows for:
-
-  - Dynamic generation of test images with systematic variations
-  - Controlled difficulty progression across perception dimensions
-  - Reproducible evaluation conditions
-  - Fine-grained assessment of model performance

+
+  ## Dataset Overview and Structure
+
+  This repository contains a synthetic dataset exploring seven distinct dimensions of visual perception and processing. Each dimension examines a specific aspect of how we interpret visual information. The benchmark dataset is released as a zip file named *dataset.zip* in the main folder.
+
+  ### Dataset Structure
+
+  The repository is organized into two directories:
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe
+  
+  Each directory consists of separate dimension wise dataset:
+
+   **2D**
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_spatial
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_figure_ground
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_form_constancy
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/shape_disambiguation
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/shape_color_discrimination
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/letter_disambiguation
+  - 2D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_closure
+
+  **3D**
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_spatial
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe/visual_form_constancy
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe/shape_disambiguation
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe/shape_color_discrimination
+  - 3D_DoYouSeeMe/letter_disambiguation
+
+  ### Data Format
+
+  Each dimension directory contains:
+  - Images(`<xx>.png`): Images with controlled variations
+  - dataset_info.csv: Metadata file containing control parameters and ground truth answers for each image
+
+  ## Dataset Generation and Usage
+
+  To generate data, run the Python file corresponding to the visual-perception dimension you are interested in. The general command structure is:
+
+  ```bash
+  python scripts/<dimensionality>/<dimension-name>.py
+  ```
+  * Replace `<dimensionality>` with either `2D` or `3D`.
+  * Replace `<dimension-name>` with the actual name of the visual-perception dimension (e.g., `visual_spatial`, `shape_disambiguation`).
+
+  **Example:** To generate data for the 2D `visual_spatial` dimension, you would execute:
+
+  ```bash
+  python scripts/2D/visual_spatial.py
+  ```
+Each python file has a control towards the end, where sweeps are defined for each control parameter listed in **Table 1**, these can be changed to increase data. For 1) visual_spatial, 2) shape_disambiguation, and 3) shape_color_discrimination a *dataset_dump.csv* is created in related directory, this dump file captures all the details for each generated image, we then use a *dataset_creator.py* file (added in all the three dirs) to generate the actual dataset (dataset_info.csv), where multiple perception questions are formulated per image (refer the dataset_creator.py to change number of questions per image). Each visual-perception dim has a dataset_info.csv containing filename, question, answer, and sweep column.
