| # Bodnár-Huawei Syn10k | |
| A **mirror** of the `syn10k_plus_huawei` barcode dataset from the Szeged group | |
| (Bodnár, Grósz, Tóth), repackaged as parquet with each image joined to its | |
| ground-truth mask in the same row. | |
| Released under **CC BY 4.0**, so this mirror is permitted with attribution. | |
| ## Configs | |
| | config | rows | content | with mask | | |
| |---|---:|---|---:| | |
| | `warp2014` | 10,000 | synthetic warped barcode images | 10,000 | | |
| | `huawei` | 98 | real photographs | 98 | | |
| **Every image has its mask** — the pairing was verified by stem, and zero images | |
| in either config are missing one. | |
| ## Fields | |
| | field | notes | | |
| |---|---| | |
| | `image` | the picture (JPEG) | | |
| | `mask` | the ground-truth mask (PNG) | | |
| | `file_name`, `stem` | original filename and its stem | | |
| | `subset` | `warp2014` or `huawei` | | |
| | `has_mask` | always true in this build; kept so the schema stays honest if a future revision has gaps | | |
| ## Two notes on how to read this | |
| **The split name is a container, not a protocol.** Both configs expose a single | |
| split called `train` because HuggingFace requires a split name — it does **not** | |
| encode the authors' intended train/test partition. `warp2014` is synthetic and | |
| `huawei` is real photographs, which is the natural synthetic-train / real-test | |
| arrangement, but this mirror does not assert that the authors used it that way. | |
| Consult the source publication before reporting numbers as theirs. | |
| **This is a barcode dataset, not a QR-only one.** It is included in a QR | |
| collection because it is standard in the barcode-localisation literature and is | |
| one of the few sets shipping pixel masks. Check the masks for what you need | |
| rather than assuming every symbol is a QR code. | |
| ## Usage | |
| ```python | |
| from datasets import load_dataset | |
| syn = load_dataset("devmandan/syn10k-huawei-barcodes", "warp2014", split="train") | |
| real = load_dataset("devmandan/syn10k-huawei-barcodes", "huawei", split="train") | |
| syn[0]["image"], syn[0]["mask"] # PIL images, aligned | |
| ``` | |

| ## Derived ground truth (qr-decode-bench) | |
| `derived_gt/derived_gt.jsonl` was ADDED to this repository on 2026-09-01; no existing file was modified (this section was appended to the card). It records, for each image whose payload this dataset does not publish and on which at least two independent QR decoders agreed, what every decoder of a panel decoded on that image — as sha256 digests of the payload bytes, with the payload text beside them only where no identifier detector fires on it — so that a benchmark can score a decoder against what the OTHER decoders established (per-image leave-one-out, quorum 2), never against its own output. | |
| This is truth DERIVED by decoder consensus, not published by the dataset's authors; the benchmark that uses it marks it with †. Agreement between independent implementations is strong evidence, not proof of what a symbol encodes. | |

Panel members whose reads are committed benchmark rows rather than live decodes are listed in the header's `panel_sources`; a `null` read means the member never examined that image. | |
