## Introduction

This dataset is an extension of the NeSpoF dataset, enriched with ground-truth material labels for evaluating material segmentation in synthetic multi-view settings. The annotations provide consistent material labeling across different viewpoints for comprehensive scene analysis.

It is used in conjunction with **UnMix-NeRF**, a framework presented in the paper [UnMix-NeRF: Spectral Unmixing Meets Neural Radiance Fields](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.21884). UnMix-NeRF integrates spectral unmixing into Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), enabling joint hyperspectral novel view synthesis and unsupervised material segmentation.

## Direct Use

This dataset is intended for training and evaluating models for material segmentation tasks, particularly useful for multi-view segmentation scenarios and NeRF-based material analysis.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset has the following directory structure:

```
scene/
 ├── color/
 │    ├── eval/
 │    └── train/
 │         └── r_x.png
 └── raw/
      ├── eval/
      └── train/
           └── r_x.png
```

Here, `x` corresponds to the matching frame ID from the original NeSpoF dataset.

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

#### Who are the source data producers?

The dataset extension was produced by the authors of the paper "UnMix-NeRF: Spectral Unmixing Meets Neural Radiance Fields," accepted at ICCV 2025.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

Annotations were automatically generated by rendering the ground-truth material indices, corresponding consistently across views and matching original scene frames.

#### Who are the annotators?

Automated rendering processed by mitsuba 3.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

No known biases or risks are identified in this synthetic dataset. However, its synthetic nature may limit direct applicability to real-world scenarios without additional adaptation or fine-tuning.

### Recommendations

Users should be aware that performance on this synthetic dataset may not fully generalize to real-world data without further adaptation.
