# 🚘 CarDD Dataset
CarDD is a novel, public, large-scale dataset specifically designed for vision-based car damage detection and segmentation.
The dataset contains **4,000 high-resolution car damage images** with over **9,000 well-annotated instances**, making it the largest public dataset of its kind.
The high resolution of the images (average 684,231 pixels) is a key advantage over existing datasets that have a much lower average resolution (50,334 pixels). Higher resolution allows for more detailed annotations and the potential to detect finer damages.
### CarDD Dataset Overview and Features
CarDD features **six common external car damage categories**, chosen based on frequency of occurrence and clear definitions from insurance claim statistics.
1. Dent
2. Scratch
3. Crack
4. Glass shatter
5. Tire flat
6. Lamp broken
### Annotation process
The **annotation process** involved experts from the car insurance industry and trained annotators following specific guidelines based on insurance claim standards.
These guidelines address challenges like
• mixed damages (priority rules)
• damages across components (boundary splitting)
• adjacent same-class damages (boundary merging).
For object detection and instance segmentation, the annotations include **masks and bounding boxes** associated with each of the six damage types.
Each instance has a unique ID, category information, mask contours, and bounding box coordinates, following the COCO dataset format.
For SOD, pixel-level binary ground truth maps are provided.
### Dataset splits
The dataset is split into **training (70.4%), validation (20.25%), and test (9.35%) sets**, maintaining a consistent ratio of instances for each category across the splits.
Near-duplicate images were explicitly removed to prevent data leakage.
### Uses
The dataset provides **comprehensive annotations for multiple computer vision tasks**, including:
* **Classification:** Identifying the type of damage.
* **Object Detection:** Locating the damaged regions with bounding boxes.
* **Instance Segmentation:** Precisely outlining the damaged areas with pixel-level masks.
* **Salient Object Detection (SOD):** Identifying the damaged regions as salient objects through binary maps.
CarDD presents several **challenges** for model development due to the nature of car damage:
* **Fine-grained distinctions** between damage types like dents and scratches.
* **Diversity in object scales and shapes** of the damages.
* A **significant proportion of small objects**, particularly for dent, scratch, and crack categories.
* The fact that damages like **dent, scratch, and crack can be intertwined and visually similar**.
#### Availability
The CarDD dataset is **publicly available** at https://cardd-ustc.github.io. However, access requires agreeing to the license terms of Flickr and Shutterstock, as the dataset does not own the copyright of the images. The dataset is intended for non-commercial research and educational purposes. Measures were taken to protect user privacy by mosaicking or deleting faces and license plates.
