"description": "SynGlass is a large-scale synthetic dataset for fine-grained eyeglasses segmentation, introduced at BMVC 2026. It contains 332,928 renders (1024x1024 PNG) of 128 photorealistic RenderPeople avatars wearing 867 distinct 3D-scanned eyeglass models, each combination rendered in Unreal Engine 5 under 3 random near-frontal head poses in an indoor living-room scene. Every render comes with pixel-accurate lens and frame segmentation masks generated directly from the 3D geometry (the masks additionally encode normalized camera-view depth in their RGBA channels) and a per-render JSON file with head pose, head/eye positions and camera parameters. Each eyeglass model is labelled with frame family (full-rim / semi-rimless / rimless), material (plastic / metal), lens shape (rectangle, square, round, oval, aviator, cat-eye, other) and lens type (clear / sunglasses); each avatar with gender, age group and ethnicity. The split is by eyeglass model: 776 models (297,984 renders) for training and 91 held-out models whose 22,304 pose-matched renders form the test set; the remaining 12,640 renders of the test models are kept in a separate test_pool split and must not be used for training. Subject and eyeglass identifiers are anonymized (subject_NNN, glasses_NNN). Each row of manifest/sessions.csv is one render; resource paths are relative to the dataset root and start with the subject folder.",

"rai:dataCollection": "Fully synthetic generation with an automated Unreal Engine 5 pipeline. Each of the 128 RenderPeople avatars wears each of the 867 eyeglass models (3D scans of real frames with separate frame and lens sub-meshes) and is rendered from a frontal camera (horizontal FOV 15 deg) at 125-175 cm in an indoor living-room scene, under three random head poses: two with yaw/pitch/roll in [-2, 2] deg and one in [-7, 7] deg excluding [-2, 2] deg.

"rai:dataCollectionMissingData": "None: every render has a color image, a frame mask, a lens mask and a metadata file. Frames whose lenses are not visible do not occur because all captures are near-frontal and occlusion-free by construction.",
"rai:dataPreprocessingProtocol": [
"No filtering or cleaning was applied to the renders. The benchmark in the paper crops faces with MediaPipe (20 % enlarged box re-centred on the eyes, central crop with width = 2 x height, resized to width 448); the released images are the uncropped 1024x1024 renders.",
"The test split is a pose-matched subsample (22,304 of 34,944 renders) of the 91 held-out eyeglass models; the unselected renders are kept in the test_pool split."

"rai:dataAnnotationProtocol": "Segmentation masks are rendered directly from the frame and lens sub-meshes of the 3D eyeglass models, so they are pixel-accurate and free of human labelling noise. In the RGBA mask PNGs, black means background; any non-black pixel belongs to the class and its four channels encode the normalized camera-view depth.
