# Synthetic Sofa Interior Images Dataset
## Dataset Description
This dataset contains **1,000 synthetic images of sofas in indoor living room environments**, generated using a text-to-image diffusion model.
The dataset was created as part of an AI project focused on visual similarity, embeddings, and recommendation systems.
The images depict a wide range of sofa styles, colors, and interior design aesthetics, and are intended for use in computer vision tasks such as image embeddings, similarity search, and recommendation pipelines.
---
## Data Generation
The images were synthetically generated using a Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) model with carefully designed prompts describing sofas in various interior styles (e.g., Scandinavian, Industrial, Classic, Modern).
Generation parameters were chosen to balance image quality and diversity:
- Resolution: 512×512
- Diverse prompts and color variations
- Negative prompts to reduce artifacts and unrealistic outputs
The full data generation process is documented in the provided notebook:
- `synthetic_data_generation.ipynb`

## Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Exploratory Data Analysis was conducted to assess data quality and consistency.
### Dataset Overview
- Total images: 1,000
- File format: JPG
- Naming convention: sequential (`sofa_0000.jpg` to `sofa_0999.jpg`)
### Visual Inspection
- Random samples of images were visually inspected.
- The majority of images depict realistic sofas in indoor living room scenes.
- A small number of visually atypical images were observed but retained to avoid introducing subjective bias.

### Automated Integrity Checks
- All images were successfully loaded without corruption.
- No missing or unreadable files were found.
- All images share a consistent resolution of **512×512 pixels**.
### Brightness Distribution
- Image brightness distribution shows a balanced range of lighting conditions.
- No extreme bias toward overly dark or overly bright images was detected.

Based on the EDA, the dataset was deemed clean and suitable for downstream embedding extraction and similarity-based tasks.
The full EDA process and outputs are documented in:
- `eda.ipynb`

## Intended Use
This dataset is intended for:
- Image embedding extraction
- Visual similarity search
- Recommendation systems
- Research and educational purposes
It is especially suitable for projects involving multimodal or vision-based representation learning.
---
## Limitations
- The dataset is fully synthetic and may not capture all nuances of real-world photography.
- No explicit labels (e.g., style categories) are provided.
- Visual diversity depends on prompt design and generation settings.
