# SITR Dataset
This repository hosts the dataset for the Sensor-Invariant Tactile Representation (SITR) paper. The dataset supports training and evaluating models for sensor-invariant tactile representations across simulated and real-world settings.
The codebase implementing SITR is available on GitHub: [SITR Codebase](https://github.com/hgupt3/gsrl)
For more details on the underlying methods and experiments, please visit our [project website](https://hgupt3.github.io/sitr/) and read the [arXiv paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.19638).

## Dataset Overview
The SITR dataset consists of three main parts:
1. **Simulated Tactile Dataset**
A large-scale synthetic dataset generated using physics-based rendering (PBR) in Blender. This dataset spans 100 unique simulated sensor configurations with tactile signals, calibration images, and corresponding surface normal maps. It includes 10K unique contact configurations generated using 50 high-resolution 3D meshes of common household objects, resulting in a pre-training dataset of 1M samples.
2. **Real-World Tactile Dataset – Classification**
Data collected from 7 real sensors (including variations of GelSight Mini, GelSight Hex, GelSight Wedge, and DIGIT). For the classification task, 20 objects are pressed against each sensor at various poses and depths, accumulating 1K tactile images per object (140K images in total, with 20K per sensor). We decided to only use 16 of the objects for our classification experiments and some of the items were deemed unsuitable (this was decided before experimentation). The dataset is provided as separate train (80%) and test sets (20%).
3. **Real-World Tactile Dataset – Pose Estimation**
For pose estimation, tactile signals are recorded using a modified Ender-3 Pro 3D printer equipped with 3D-printed indenters. This setup provides accurate ground truth (x, y, z coordinates) for contact points. Data were collected for 6 indenters across 4 sensors, resulting in 1K samples per indentor (24K images in total, 6K per sensor). This dataset is also organized into train and test sets.

## Download and Setup
### Simulated Tactile Dataset
The simulated dataset is split into two parts due to its size:
- `renders_part_aa.zip`
- `renders_part_ab.zip`
**To merge and unzip:**
1. **Merge the parts into a single zip file:**
```bash
cat renders_part_aa.zip renders_part_ab.zip > renders.zip
```
2. **Unzip the merged file:**
```bash
unzip renders.zip -d your_desired_directory
```
### Real-World Datasets (Classification & Pose Estimation)
The real-world tactile datasets for classification and pose estimation are provided as separate zip files. Each of these zip files contains two directories:
- `train_set/`
- `test_set/`
Simply unzip them in your desired directory:
```bash
unzip classification_dataset.zip -d your_desired_directory
unzip pose_dataset.zip -d your_desired_directory
```

### 2. Real-World Classification Dataset
Each of the `train_set/` and `test_set/` directories follows this structure:
```
train_set/ (or test_set/)

```
### 3. Real-World Pose Estimation Dataset
Similarly, each of the `train_set/` and `test_set/` directories is structured as follows:
```
train_set/ (or test_set/)
