# Dataset Details |
|
|
|
Touch-Slide is a dataset inspired by [YCB-Slide](https://github.com/rpl-cmu/YCB-Slide). Its purpose is to increase the amount of data from multiple DIGIT sensors for self-supervised learning (SSL) pre-training of the Sparsh model. Touch-Slide consists of human-sliding interactions on toy kitchen objects using the DIGIT sensor. We used 9 objects, as shown below, and collected 5 trajectories for each, resulting in a total of 180k frames. |

This is a visual example of how the dataset was collected, showcasing sliding interactions that capture trajectories rich in shear forces: |

## Uses |
|
|
|
This dataset does not include labels and is intended for self-supervised training only. It is specifically designed for training the Sparsh models listed in the Hugging Face [Sparsh collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/facebook/sparsh-67167ce57566196a4526c328). |
|
|
|
Please refer to the [Sparsh repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/sparsh) for further information about usage. |

## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
The dataset consists of 5 trajectories for each object. Each trajectory is stored as a pickle file, containing binarized tactile images. The structure is as follows: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
Touch-Slide |
|
├── object_0 # eg: bread |
|
│ ├── dataset_0.pkl |
|
│ ├── ... |
|
│ ├── dataset_4.pkl |
|
├── object_1 # eg: corn |
|
├── ... |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This is a sample code for loading the dataset in pickle format and extracting the images: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def load_pickle_dataset(file_dataset): |
|
with open(file_dataset, "rb") as f: |
|
all_frames = pickle.load(f) |
|
return all_frames |
|
|
|
def load_bin_image(io_buf): |
|
img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(io_buf)) |
|
img = np.array(img) |
|
return img |
|
|
|
frames = load_pickle_dataset('bread/dataset_0.pkl') |
|
img = load_bin_image(frames[0]) |
|
``` |
