# miProgram UK Residential Property Inspection Sample

A 423-image labelled sample of professional UK residential property inspection photography, drawn from real production inspections carried out through the miProgram platform, prepared for evaluation by AI training-data buyers and data-licensing partners.

**This is a sample. Full commercial dataset (approximately 120 million professionally-labelled images and growing) available under separate commercial licence — contact data-licensing@miprogram.co.uk.**

## Dataset overview

| | |
|---|---|
| Images | 423 JPEG files, each with a matching JSON metadata file |
| Source | Live production inventory, check-in and check-out inspections of UK rental properties |
| Window | Inspections uploaded 1–15 February 2026 |
| Labelling | Applied at point of capture by professional inspectors via closed picklists (42 reference lists — see `TAXONOMY.md`) |
| Capture devices | Inspectors' own iOS devices (iPhone 8 → iPhone 17 generations, iPads); real device EXIF preserved |
| Resolution profile | Predominantly 480x640 (platform sync-optimised); ~1–2% at native camera resolution (3–5 MP). Second-generation JPEGs at quality 95. |
| Privacy | Every image individually reviewed and captured on vacant properties with no tenant in occupation. GPS EXIF stripped. Location expressed as region only. House numbers may be visible on exterior elevations; these identify the property rather than any individual and are not personal data under UK GDPR. People, vehicle registration plates, and readable documents are excluded. |
| Licence | Evaluation and research only — see `LICENSE.md` |

The full dataset this sample is drawn from spans several years of production use, hundreds of thousands of inspections, and tens of millions of images, growing continuously. This sample's structure, label vocabulary, and quality profile are representative of it.

## Intended use

This dataset is provided for evaluation and research use, specifically to allow AI teams to assess:

- Label quality and consistency of miProgram's structured taxonomy
- Image quality and diversity across property types, rooms, conditions, and defects
- Suitability of the underlying data for training or evaluation of vision models on property condition, material, and defect detection tasks
- Fit for downstream commercial products in insurance, real estate, property analytics, and adjacent domains

Commercial use, including training machine-learning models for commercial products or services, requires a separate written licence agreement with Mobile Inventory Program Limited.

## Composition

The sample is deliberately stratified, not random. Five strata:

**1. Room-type coverage — 177 images.** Room overview photographs across 19 of the platform's 21 room types: 10 each for Bathroom/Toilet, Bedroom, Cellar/Basement, Conservatory, Dining Room, En-suite, Garage, Garden and Outdoors, Hallway, Kitchen, Landing, Living Room, Porch, Reception Room, Stairs, Utility, WC; plus Attic (3) and Outbuilding (4), which are honestly thin in the source window. Two room types ship empty: Loft (no usable labelled photographs in the window) and Open Porch (every candidate was a close-range doorway shot dominated by the house number or off-subject; none met the selection bar under the conservative v1 review).

**2. Condition-rating demonstration — 92 images.** Element photographs (walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows) carrying the platform's condition ratings: 10 each for Aged, As New, Brand New, Clean, Fair, Good, Newly Decorated, Poor; Dusty (7) and Used (5) reflect genuinely rare usage; Rusty had no usage in the window. Every image was reviewed for label credibility — each is a visually defensible exemplar of its rating.

**3. Defect showcase — 88 images.** Element photographs carrying the ten most common genuine defect labels in the window: Chipped, Discolouration to edges, Flooring marked, Flooring worn to walkways, Marked, Paint splashes and marks, Patchy paintwork, Plaster - cracked, Slightly Scuffed, Small Marks (6–10 each). The primary defect is visible in every image; many images carry additional defect labels in their metadata, exactly as recorded.

**4. Property archetype range — 36 images.** Flat (10), Detached (10), Semi (8), Terraced (8): front elevations plus representative interiors per archetype. Elevations are under-represented relative to interiors: this sample's selection was conservative about prominent house numbers, street signage, and vehicle plates in street-facing frames. As the privacy note above sets out, house numbers on vacant-property elevations identify the property rather than any individual; larger exterior sets are available for commercial supply without this selection constraint.

**5. Product-level detail — 30 images.** Kitchen appliances with recorded brand labels (Hotpoint, Indesit, AEG, Beko, Lamona, Russell Hobbs and others — 20 images, several with the brand marking legible in frame) and typed fixtures (switches, sanitaryware, worktops, heated towel rail, mirror — 10 images), demonstrating the granular product-scale metadata alongside room-scale views.

`manifest.json` carries the full per-image catalogue and these counts in machine-readable form.

## What to know before evaluating

Stated here because you will find them anyway, and they are properties of the full dataset too:

- **Resolution profile.** The platform's sync pipeline stores images predominantly at 480x640 (~40–180 KB); roughly 1–2% are native camera resolution (3–5 MP, 2–4 MB). This sample reflects that mix honestly. All images are second-generation JPEGs (one quality-95 re-encode at upload).
- **`capture_date` vs `upload_date`.** `capture_date` comes from device EXIF and occasionally reflects a wrong device clock or camera-roll import; `upload_date` is platform-recorded and authoritative.
- **Room-overview images carry no condition rating** — condition attaches to elements, not rooms, so `labels.condition_rating` is `null` by design in the room-type stratum.
- **QA is report-level**, not per-image; `annotator.report_qa_status` reflects the parent report's workflow state.

See `METHODOLOGY.md` for the full account of how labels are produced and what guarantees apply.

```

Filenames encode the upload date and a sequence number only — no property or inspection identifiers.

## Example metadata record

Each image's JSON is self-contained. A typical record:

```json
{
  "image_id": "img_20260203_000004",
  "inspection_type": "Inventory",
  "upload_date": "2026-02-03",
  "capture_date": "2026-02-03",
  "capture_device": "Apple iPhone 14",
  "property":  { "archetype": "Mid-Terrace", "property_type": "House", "region": "Yorkshire and the Humber" },
  "location_in_property": { "room_type": "Kitchen", "floor": null, "room_label": "Kitchen" },
  "subject":   { "element_type": "Wall", "element_subtype": "Painted Plaster" },
  "labels":    { "condition_rating": "Good", "material": "Painted Plaster", "colour": "White",
                 "finish": null, "brand": null, "defect_types": ["Small Marks"] },
  "annotator": { "role": "Client Admin", "report_qa_status": "Sent to client" },
  "image_technical": { "dimensions_pixels": "480x640", "aspect_ratio": "3:4",
                       "orientation": "Portrait", "file_size_kb": 78 }
}
```

Fields are always present; inapplicable values are `null`; empty arrays are `[]`. All label values come from the reference lists in `TAXONOMY.md`.
