The ACID team has conducted comprehensive algorithm analysis on object detection, instance segmentation, and image captioning tasks on the ACID dataset. The task introduction, annotation examples, and algorithm results are compiled in below pages. We strongly suggest users browse these pages before downloading ACID.

Object Detection

Instance Segementation

Image Captioning

Currently, the entire ACID dataset is available for the research community. Please click on the Dataset Download button below and fill the google form. In the google form, you can select which type of annotations (e.g., object detection, instance segmentation, and image captioning) do you need. We will send you the download link in one week once you submitted the google form. If you can't open the google form, please send an email to Dr. Bo Xiao (dr.boxiao@gmail.com) directly to make a request. To be noticed, ACID is currently only sharing for research purposes and no commercial usage is allowed.

Contribute to ACID

ACID needs support to develop a more comprehensive dataset for an innovative construction future. We would like to invite more contributors/researchers to this community and expand the ACID dataset.

ACID team is interested to provide a dataset management platform for the community. If you want to share your dataset via ACID website, we will be able to setup a specific webpage for you to demo your dataset and related findings to increase your exposure to the community.

Please contact Dr. Bo Xiao (dr.boxiao@gmail.com) if you want to contribute to ACID, sharing your datasets via ACID, or discuss in-depth collaboration.
