🏗️ BridgePoint-Seg Dataset

BridgePoint-Seg is a synthetic 3D point cloud dataset developed for large-scale masonry bridge segmentation. It provides training and test sets of point clouds with detailed semantic labels across straight and curved masonry bridges.

📁 Dataset Structure

BridgePoint-Seg/
├── syn_data/
│   ├── train/
│   │   ├── straight_bridge/      # 2,177 training samples
│   │   └── curved_bridge/        # 1,500 training samples
│   └── test/
│       ├── straight_bridge/      # 87 test samples
│       └── curved_bridge/        # 500 test samples

Each point cloud sample includes:

• points.npz: A NumPy file containing a point cloud of shape (N, 3) with key 'xyz'.
• points_label.npz: A NumPy file containing per-point semantic labels with key 'sem_label'.

🧾 File Format

File	Content	Key	Shape
points.npz	3D coordinates of point cloud	xyz	(N, 3)
points_label.npz	Semantic labels per point	sem_label	(N,)

📊 Statistics

🧠 Applications

BridgePoint-Seg supports research on:

• Semantic segmentation of large-scale point clouds
• Generalization to bridge structures with different geometries
• Training lightweight deep learning architectures for infrastructure monitoring
