# SOCO

SOCO is a semanti object correspondence dataset with images, per-view keypoint annotations, pair annotations that for evaluation of visual features.
Evaluation code is available at the [OmniProbe repo](https://github.com/GenIntel/OmniProbe).

## Repository Layout

```text
GenIntelLab/SOCO
  Images.zip                # -> Images/<category>/*.JPEG
  KeypointAnnotations.zip   # -> KeypointAnnotations/<category>/*.json
  PairAnnotations.zip       # -> PairAnnotations/{intra,cross,trainsplits/{train,test}}/<category>/*.json
  Metadata/
    filename_mapping.json
    keypoint_taxonomy.json
  README.md
```

After unzipping, the dataset tree is:

```text
SOCOv1/
  Images/<category>/*.JPEG
  KeypointAnnotations/<category>/*.json
  PairAnnotations/
    intra/<category>/*.json
    cross/<category>/*.json
    trainsplits/
      train/<category>/*.json
      test/<category>/*.json
  Metadata/
    filename_mapping.json
    keypoint_taxonomy.json
```

## Contents

- `Images.zip`: rendered object images, organized by category.
- `KeypointAnnotations.zip`: per-view keypoint annotations, organized by category.
- `PairAnnotations.zip`: image-pair files for intra-category (`intra`), cross-category (`cross`), and the predefined train/test splits (`trainsplits`).
- `Metadata/`: keypoint taxonomy and filename mapping (shipped unzipped).

This release contains 100 categories, 4,000 images (40 per category), 4,000 keypoint annotation files, and 60,000 pair annotation files (20,000 intra-category, 20,000 cross-category, and a 10,000 / 10,000 intra-category train / test split).

## Download

Install the Hub client:

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub
```

Download the repository and unpack the archives:

```bash
huggingface-cli download GenIntelLab/SOCO --repo-type dataset --local-dir SOCOv1
cd SOCOv1 && for z in *.zip; do unzip -q "$z" && rm "$z"; done
```

Equivalently in Python:

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

snapshot_download(
    repo_id="GenIntelLab/SOCO",
    repo_type="dataset",
    local_dir="SOCOv1",
)
# then unzip Images.zip, KeypointAnnotations.zip, PairAnnotations.zip inside SOCOv1/
```

## Using the data

After extraction the folder layout maps directly onto a dataset-root path: point your
loader at the `SOCOv1/` directory and read images from `Images/<category>/` and pairs from
the relevant `PairAnnotations/` subfolder. For evaluation, use `PairAnnotations/intra`
(within-category pairs). For training and evaluating a probe, use the predefined
`PairAnnotations/trainsplits/train` and `PairAnnotations/trainsplits/test` splits. Each
pair file references two views and their corresponding keypoints. Per-view keypoints are
also available under `KeypointAnnotations/<category>/`.
