Task, mask & split

What this is. Magnetic-Tile-Defect (Huang et al., "Surface defect saliency of magnetic tile", The Visual Computer 2020) — 1,344 grayscale magnetic-tile images across 6 subsets: 5 defect types (Blowhole, Break, Crack, Fray, Uneven) + MT_Free (defect-free / good). Each image ships a paired pixel-level ground-truth mask.

The paper's own task is saliency SEGMENTATION (segmenting the defect region); the pixel masks are that ground truth. This release instead frames the image-level task as defect classification (the dataset is organized by defect class): query (our template) asks whether the tile is good or anomalous and, if anomalous, to name the defect type from the 5 classes; annot is {label, defect_type} ({good, null} / {anomalous, <defect>}). The query does not ask for a mask.

Segmentation (the paper's task — kept as deferred GT). The pixel saliency mask is kept in the mask column as localization ground truth (anomalous images only; good images have mask=null). Per-image segmentation info is in metadata: mask_path (source mask) and defect_area_fraction (fraction of pixels labelled defect; 0 for good). A text-output model cannot emit a pixel mask, so segmentation is deferred.

Split. No upstream train/val/test split -> single train. Class counts: Free (good) 952, Blowhole 115, Uneven 103, Break 85, Crack 57, Fray 32 (total 1,344).

Provenance

Underlying dataset: Magnetic-Tile-Defect. Upstream license: other (research use; cite Huang et al. 2020) (this card is license: other; respect the upstream terms). Converted read-only from the raw source into the unified schema; conversion script: 186/convert_d86.py, published with publish/push_to_hf.py, both in AI4Manufacturing/forge_model.

Overlap / de-duplication (§8)

None notable. Each record carries metadata.image_sha256 so overlapping images can be kept entirely on one side of a train/eval split.

Geometry (`metadata.geometry`)

Every record carries a geometry block inside the existing metadata JSON string, so that its gold can be re-derived at any render size. No schema column changed; existing loaders are unaffected.

Coordinates are native pixels of the image in that record. scale is 1.0 throughout — this repo publishes at source resolution, nothing was downscaled at publish time.

"geometry": {
  "image_wh":  [W, H],        // dims of the image in THIS record
  "source_wh": [W, H],        // dims of the original source image
  "scale": 1.0,               // image_wh / source_wh; < 1.0 would disclose a publish-time downscale
  "n_instances": 2,
  "instances": [
    { "instance_id": 1, "bbox_xywh": [x, y, w, h], "min_side_px": 65, "class": null }
  ],
  "n_dropped_subminimum": 0,  // components removed by the filters below
  "union_box_fallback": false,// true => boxes are per-class unions, NOT real instances
  "conventions": { ... }      // see table
}

instances is present even when empty. [] means the record genuinely has no defects; an absent block would mean geometry could not be recovered. Those are different states and are never conflated.

⚠ The floor is measured at NATIVE; the model renders smaller

min_side_px is in native pixels, and the legibility floor is stated against native. A patch-based VLM does not render at native size, and not only because of the megapixel cap: Qwen2-VL's processor also snaps each dimension to a multiple of 28. Measured on this repo:


native → rendered (qwen2_vl @ 2.36MP)	103×289 → 112×280, 105×283 → 112×280, 109×291 → 112×280
shipped boxes	440
clear 16px at native but FAIL it at the render	4 (0.9%)

Those boxes carry a legibility guarantee that does not hold for the image the model actually sees. Nothing in the data is wrong — the geometry is native and complete — but a consumer computing legibility as min_side_px >= 16 will disagree with the render on exactly those. Use forge_model/<family>/adapt.py, which applies the floor at the target size.

Using it

Coordinates only stay correct if they are rescaled with the image. A patch-based VLM does not render at native size: Qwen2-VL's processor snaps both dimensions to a multiple of 28, so a 1600×256 strip is rendered 1596×252 and native-pixel boxes are then wrong by a few pixels. forge_model/193/adapt.py regenerates coordinates for a target render size, re-derives counts, and drops records whose gold no longer holds there. {MARK_B}

Geometry (`metadata.geometry`)

Coordinates are native pixels of the image in that record. scale is 1.0 throughout — this repo publishes at source resolution, nothing was downscaled at publish time.

⚠ The 16px floor applies at the RENDER, not at native

min_side_px is in native pixels. The model does not see native: Qwen2-VL caps by megapixels AND snaps each dimension to a multiple of 28. So min_side_px >= 16 is the floor tested in the wrong frame. Measured on this repo:


native → rendered (qwen2_vl @ 2.36MP)	103×289 → 112×280, 105×283 → 112×280, 109×291 → 112×280
shipped boxes	440
legible at that render (>=16px there)	256 (58.2%)

⚠ An earlier version of this section reported the inverse — boxes clearing 16px at native and failing at the render — and that number was misleading. It is frame-relative: publishing at a larger native size lets more boxes clear 16 in the published frame, so more can "fail", which penalises exactly the choice that helps. Measured on 179: publishing native (3024) means a box needs >=32px native to be legible at the render and 86.7% qualify; the previous 1024 publish needed >=47px native and only 69.5% qualified. The native republish improved rendered legibility by 17 points while the old metric scored it as 12.5% "broken". The figure above is the comparable one.

Nothing in the data is frame-dependent — geometry is native and complete. Use forge_model/<family>/adapt.py, which applies the floor at whatever size the consumer renders.
