Curate dataset v1.1: remove 294 files without same-block L/R LiDAR pair

#3
by sikfreddy - opened

Summary

This pull request removes 294 files belonging to 6 trees that cannot be used as complete observations. After this change the dataset contains 107,856 files, which is exactly the version described in our paper.

This pull request also provides the updated leaf area measurements (Irriwell_LA_references.xlsx).

No other data is changed. 9 of the 12 campaign archives are untouched.

Why these files are removed

Every tree in the dataset is scanned from two sides: front (L) and back (R). Each side has 20 RGB images, 20 depth images, one 660 nm LiDAR scan and one 905 nm LiDAR scan, so 42 files per side.

For 6 trees, a matching front/back pair does not exist:

  • 5 trees were scanned from one side only. Only the back side (R) was recorded; the front side (L) is missing from the original data. This was already visible in the overview spreadsheet, where Block 1 lists fewer trees on the front than on the back.
  • 1 tree has its two sides under different blocks. Tree MRQ_20210906_112 has its front side stored as Block 14 and its back side as Block 12, so the two sides cannot be paired.

A tree without a valid front/back pair cannot be used as an observation, so all files of these trees are removed.

Tree side(s) removed Archive Reason Files
MRQ_20210712_001_BL01_R MRQ_20210712.zip Front side never recorded 42
MRQ_20210712_002_BL01_R MRQ_20210712.zip Front side never recorded 42

Total 294

The full list of every removed file, with the reason, is in the new file excluded_files.csv.

excluded_files.csv New. Lists the 294 removed files and why each was removed
HuggingFace_Irriwell_RGBD_LiDAR.xlsx Updated file counts, archive sizes and tree ID ranges for the 3 archives above; the reason for each removal is added in the Notes column
Irriwell_LA_references.xlsx Updated leaf area measurements
README.md Rewritten as a full dataset card: description, supported tasks, file overview, version history, code, citation, contact and license

All other files (the other 9 archives, weather data, satellite data, planting scheme, video) are not changed.

Dataset totals before and after

Modality Before After
RGB images 51,500 51,360
Depth images 51,500 51,360
660 nm LiDAR scans 2,575 2,568
905 nm LiDAR scans 2,575 2,568
Total 108,150 107,856

Is anything lost?

No. Hugging Face keeps the full history of the repository. The original version with all 108,150 files stays available and can still be downloaded by selecting the previous version. It will also be tagged v1.0-raw; the new version will be tagged v1.1.

How this was checked

  • Each new archive was checked with a ZIP integrity test (no errors).
  • The number of files in each new archive was compared with the original: exactly 84, 126 and 84 fewer files, as expected.
  • The full dataset was recounted after the change: 107,856 files.
