This repository holds the **object taxonomy**, **object lists / placement rules**, and
**per-scene 3D annotations** used to render and annotate the simulated split of PercepTax.
It is a collection of JSON/CSV/PNG files (not a `load_dataset`-style tabular dataset).

```

### `scene_annotations_split.json` fields
`scene_name`, `view_id`, `image_path`, `camera` (intrinsics/extrinsics),
`background`, `foreground` (objects with labels and 3D bounding boxes).

## Usage

Browse or download with the Hub API:

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
path = snapshot_download("TaxonomyProject/SimulationMetadata", repo_type="dataset")
```

The rendered scene **images** for the simulated VQA split are bundled in
[`RyanWW/PercepTaxBench`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/RyanWW/PercepTaxBench) (config `sim`).
