ConSynth-X (v2-strict on main)

ConSynth-X is a construction computer-vision robustness benchmark: paired synthetic augmentations of real construction site images under weather, lighting, scale, and domain-shift conditions, for evaluating object detectors and vision-language models (VLMs).

The main branch now hosts the v2-strict release (DINO ≥ 0.85, 37,308 paired rows). The previous v1 release (122,156 rows) is preserved on branch v1 for reproducibility.

Preview grid (5 source images × 12 conditions) 5 source images shown across the 12 conditions — bounding boxes drawn for the cs10k subset.

v2-strict summary

Subset Source images Rows (× 12 conditions)
cs10k 1,586 19,032
soda_voc 608 7,296
soda_ktsh 915 10,980
Total 3,109 37,308

Every source image is fully paired across all 12 conditions (1 original + 11 synthetic), enabling rigorous cross-condition (paired) robustness analysis.

Gating rule. A source image is retained iff all 9 GATE conditions (fog_{light,medium,heavy}, rain_light, snow_{light,heavy}, night, small) achieve DINO cosine similarity ≥ 0.85 against the source. Three conditions are autopassed (rain_heavy, rain_night, snow_night) because their physics-overlay pipelines were already quality-controlled upstream.

Schema (per parquet row)

  • image — image bytes (JPEG)
  • image_id, source_id, source_dataset
  • condition, condition_labels (multi-label)
  • objects (cs10k / soda_voc — VOC bbox list) or captions (soda_ktsh)
  • rule_*_violation (cs10k — safety rule flags)
  • pipeline (generator metadata), quality_scores (DINO, etc.)

Pair across conditions by source_id.
