<h2 id="data-splits" style="margin-left: 0; font-size: 1.9em; line-height: 1.22; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">📊 Data Splits</h2>
<div style="margin-left: 24px; text-align: justify;">
PhysInOne is divided into <strong>Train, Val, and Test</strong> splits, containing 115,371, 15,411, and 15,411 scenes, respectively. The three splits are generated with <strong>completely distinct 3D meshes and backgrounds</strong>, ensuring that no scene or visual content is shared across splits. This separation provides a robust benchmark for evaluating generalization and physical reasoning.

<h2 id="how-to-download" style="margin-left: 0; font-size: 1.9em; line-height: 1.22; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">📥 How to Download</h2>
<h3 id="download-scripts" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 24px;">1. Download Scripts</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;">
Please download the `assets` folder, which contains:
```text
metadata/
repo_assignment.txt
repo_map.json
scripts/
filter_cases.py
download.py
```
PhysInOne is distributed across multiple Hugging Face dataset repositories because of its large scale. We provide two scripts for selecting and downloading cases:
- `filter_cases.py`: exports selected cases to JSON.
- `download.py`: downloads the selected case zip files from the corresponding repositories.
</div>
<h3 id="install-dependencies" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 24px;">2. Install Dependencies</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
```bash
pip install huggingface_hub tqdm
```
</div>
<h3 id="filter-cases" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 24px;">3. Filter Cases</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;">
Export a JSON file containing case information matching your filter criteria, for use in subsequent download scripts. The `filter_cases.py` script supports selection by:
- Split: `train`, `val`, `test`
- Activity complexity: `single`, `double`, `triple`
- Physical phenomenon abbreviation: `MovingHitsFixed`, `FrictionStop`, `LiquidTension`, ..., `GranularFall`
- Number of cases: globally sample `num` cases after filtering
The following examples show common filtering workflows.
</div>
<h4 id="filter-by-split" style="font-size: 1.12em; margin-top: 0.55em; margin-bottom: 0.14em; line-height: 1.18; margin-left: 48px;">3.1 Filter by split</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 64px;">
```bash
python scripts/filter_cases.py \
--split train \
--output selected_cases.json
```
</div>
<h4 id="filter-by-split-and-activity" style="font-size: 1.12em; margin-top: 0.55em; margin-bottom: 0.14em; line-height: 1.18; margin-left: 48px;">3.2 Filter by split and activity complexity</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 64px;">
```bash
python scripts/filter_cases.py \
--split train \
--activity_type double \
--output selected_cases.json
```
</div>
<h4 id="filter-by-phenomenon" style="font-size: 1.12em; margin-top: 0.55em; margin-bottom: 0.14em; line-height: 1.18; margin-left: 48px;">3.3 Filter by physical phenomenon abbreviation</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 64px; text-align: justify;">
By default, phenomenon matching uses `contains` mode. For example, the following command selects all double-physics cases that contain `FrictionStop`(For all physical phenomena and their abbreviations, please refer to the **Data Fields** section below.):
```bash
python scripts/filter_cases.py \
--split train \
--activity_type double \
--phenomena FrictionStop \
--match_mode contains \
--output selected_cases.json
```
For exact matching, use `--match_mode exact`. Order does not matter. For example, this command selects cases whose phenomenon set is exactly `{AccelConcaveSpin, AccelSurfaceSpin}`:
```bash
python scripts/filter_cases.py \
--split train \
--activity_type double \
--phenomena AccelConcaveSpin AccelSurfaceSpin \
--match_mode exact \
--output selected_cases.json
```
</div>
<h4 id="random-sampling" style="font-size: 1.12em; margin-top: 0.55em; margin-bottom: 0.14em; line-height: 1.18; margin-left: 48px;">3.4 Randomly sample a fixed number of cases</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 64px; text-align: justify;">
`--num` is the global number of cases sampled after filtering (This is because the number of cases meeting the filtering criteria may be much larger than the number you need.). The default random seed is `42`.
```bash
python scripts/filter_cases.py \
--split train \
--activity_type double \
--phenomena FrictionStop \
--num 3000 \
--seed 42 \
--output selected_cases.json
```
</div>
<h3 id="download-selected-cases" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 24px;">4. Download Selected Cases</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;">
Each selected case is downloaded as a zip file from the corresponding Hugging Face shard repository.
```bash
python scripts/download.py \
--selection selected_cases.json \
--output_dir ./PhysInOne
```
If the dataset repositories are gated or private, pass a Hugging Face token:
```bash
python scripts/download.py \
--selection selected_cases.json \
--output_dir ./PhysInOne \
--token YOUR_HF_TOKEN
```
By default, downloaded zip files are saved into a flat output folder. To preserve shard/split/activity structure:
```bash
python scripts/download.py \
--selection selected_cases.json \
--output_dir ./PhysInOne \
--keep_shard_structure
```
The preserved structure is:

<div style="margin-left: 24px; text-align: justify;">
PhysInOne provides synchronized visual and physical annotations for each dynamic 3D scene.
<h3 id="depth" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 0;"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 1.08em;"></span>Depth</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Depth maps are provided in `.npz` format and are expressed in meters.
</div>
<h3 id="segmentation" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 0;"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 1.08em;"></span>Segmentation</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Segmentation masks encode background, static foreground objects, and dynamic foreground objects.
Expected encoding:
| Pixel Value | Meaning |
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
| `0` | Background |
| `1-127` | Static foreground objects |
| `128-255` | Dynamic foreground objects |
</div>
<h3 id="captions" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 0;"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 1.08em;"></span>Captions</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Each scene includes a `caption.txt` file containing an English paragraph that describes the visual elements and the physical activity.
</div>
<h3 id="trajectories" style="font-size: 1.35em; margin-top: 0.75em; margin-bottom: 0.22em; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 0;"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 1.08em;"></span>Trajectories</h3>
<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Each sequence includes a JSON file with the same name as the sequence. This file records the per-frame poses of selected dynamic objects, including their rotations and translations in the world coordinate system.
<details>
<summary id="trajectory-json-file-structure"><strong>JSON file structure</strong></summary>
The JSON file contains two main parts:
- `sequence_info`: basic information about the sequence, such as the total number of frames and the frame rate (`fps`).
- `actors`: pose and metadata for dynamic objects, including object category, asset index path, actor type, and transformation data.
</details>
<details>
<summary id="trajectory-actor-level-pose-storage"><strong>Actor-level pose storage</strong></summary>
For each actor, the storage format depends on its `actor_type`:
- If `actor_type` is `solid`, the object is treated as a single rigid body. Its per-frame pose is stored in the actor-level `transform_data` field, while the `components` field is empty.
- If `actor_type` is `interactable`, the object is represented by multiple components. The actor-level `transform_data` field is empty, and the per-component poses are stored under `components[component_name].transform_data`.
</details>
<details>
<summary id="trajectory-pose-entry-format"><strong>Pose entry format in <code>transform_data</code></strong></summary>
Each entry in `transform_data` describes the pose of the object or component at a specific frame:
- `frame`: frame index in the sequence
- `time_seconds`: timestamp of the frame in seconds

<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Each scene includes multiple camera viewpoints to support 3D perception, reconstruction, and physics-based visual reasoning tasks.
- Taichi-based MPM simulations (elastic solids, plasticine, granular substances, some Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids): 15 static cameras + 1 dynamic camera
- Other scenes: 12 static cameras + 1 dynamic camera
Note: Camera IDs are not fixed across cases. The camera index mapping for each case is stored in `static_camera_list.txt` under that case directory.

<summary id="camera-json-structure"><strong>Camera JSON structure</strong></summary>
Per camera:
- `frames`: list of per-frame 4×4 camera-to-world (C2W) transformation matrices in **Blender coordinate system**
- `camera_angle_x`: horizontal field of view (FOV) in radians, can be used to compute intrinsic focal length
- `img_w`, `img_h`: image width and height in pixels
- `trajectory_name`: name of the camera trajectory
- `total_frames`, `fps`: number of frames and frames per second
</details>
<details>
<summary id="dynamic-camera-behavior"><strong>Dynamic camera behavior</strong></summary>
- The dynamic camera moves along a path randomly sampled on a hemisphere surrounding the center of the main objects, providing diverse viewpoints.
- JSON frame indices correspond directly to video frame indices.

<div style="margin-left: 16px;">
Each scene should include `points.ply`.
The initial point cloud was obtained by back-projecting the pixels from each camera view in the first frame based on depth, followed by randomly sampling 100,000 points from the resulting data.
