GSD-S: Glass Surface Detection – Semantics

GSD-S is a glass surface detection dataset augmented with per-pixel semantic labels, introduced in the NeurIPS 2022 paper "Exploiting Semantic Relations for Glass Surface Detection". Each sample pairs an RGB photograph with a binary glass mask and a 43-class semantic segmentation map, enabling joint glass detection and scene-semantic reasoning.

Dataset Summary

Split	Samples
train	3,911
test	608
total	4,519

Images are 640 × 480 pixels (JPEG). All annotation maps are PNG.

Columns

Column	Type	Description
`image_id`	`string`	Original filename stem (e.g. `000000000711`); use for round-trip fidelity
`image`	`Image`	RGB photograph (.jpg)
`mask`	`Image`	Binary glass mask — pixel values 0 (non-glass) or 255 (glass)
`seg`	`Image`	Semantic segmentation map — pixel values 0–42 (class index)
`seg_colored`	`Image`	False-color rendering of `seg` using the GSD-S palette (for visualization)

Semantic classes (43 total)

unknown, wall, glass, floor, ceiling, door, chair, table, sofa, cabinet, curtain, blinds, bedding, picture, light, clothes, counter, sink, toilet, towel, mirror, tv, building_structure, stationery, plant, person, fridge, bath_shower, seat, floor_mat, fence, ground, bottle, kitchenware, road, transport, electronics, food, bag, nature, animal, road_infrastructure, clock

The class-to-color mapping is available in the official repository at utils/GSD-S_color_map.csv.

Loading the Dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("garrying/GSD-S")
sample = ds["train"][0]

print(sample["image_id"])   # e.g. "000000000711"
sample["image"].show()      # RGB photo
sample["mask"].show()       # binary glass mask
sample["seg"].show()        # semantic class indices
sample["seg_colored"].show() # false-color visualization

Converting Back to Raw Files

A conversion helper is bundled in this repository. Download and run it:

# Download the script
huggingface-cli download garrying/GSD-S parquet_to_raw.py --repo-type dataset --local-dir .

# Restore all splits to ./GSD-S/
python parquet_to_raw.py --repo garrying/GSD-S

# Or restore from a locally cached copy
python parquet_to_raw.py --local /path/to/local/cache

Output layout:

    images/         # .jpg
    masks/          # .png
    segs/           # .png  (class-index maps)
    segs_colored/   # .png  (false-color maps)

    ...

Evaluation Metrics

The official evaluation protocol reports:

IoU — Intersection over Union
F-measure (Fβ, β² = 0.3) — weighted precision-recall
MAE — Mean Absolute Error
BER — Balanced Error Rate

Predictions and ground-truth masks are binarized at threshold 0.5 before computing all metrics.
