NUpbr Ball Detection & Description Dataset

Split
The split is by ball instance, not by image: every image of a given ball instance lives entirely in one split. This means validation and test measure generalisation to ball appearances/descriptions the model never saw during training, not just held-out camera angles of a known ball.
Each ball instance contributes exactly 20 images across its assigned split.
Notes
- Filenames were renumbered sequentially (
