9,038 high-quality annotated images for valve detection in underground gas infrastructure, with corresponding bounding box annotations in YOLO format.

Dataset Overview

Attribute	Value
Total Images	9,038
Total Bounding Boxes	45,134
Image Resolution	2592×1944 (original)
Annotation Format	YOLO (normalized xywh)
Splits	Train: 7,685 / Val: 1,353

Detection Classes

Class ID	Name	Chinese	Share
0	Gate Valve	闸阀	~45%
1	Globe Valve	截止阀	~17%
2	Ball Valve	球阀	~34%
3	Other Valve	其他	~4%

Geographic Coverage

Data collected from 700+ underground valve well sites across China:

—Guangdong / Shenzhen: ~60% of sites
—Shaanxi / Xi'an: ~33% of sites
—Xinjiang / Karamay: ~7% of sites

Annotation Method

Labels generated through iterative pseudo-labeling (10 rounds):

1.Started with 30 hand-verified annotations
2.Trained YOLOv8 to predict on unlabeled data
3.Filtered predictions at confidence ≥ 0.5
4.Re-trained on expanded + filtered dataset
5.Repeated for 10 rounds

Validation: Companion model achieves 90.1% mAP50 on this dataset's validation split, confirming high annotation quality.

Quick Start

python

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Train your own model on this dataset
model = YOLO("yolov8s.pt")
model.train(data="valve_dataset.yaml", epochs=50)

# Or use our pre-trained model
model = YOLO("lg227210/valve-detection-yolov8s")
results = model.predict(source="inspection_photo.jpg", conf=0.4)
