M-Hood Dataset: Out-of-Distribution Evaluation Collection

This dataset collection contains out-of-distribution (OOD) image datasets specifically curated for evaluating the robustness of object detection models, particularly those trained to mitigate hallucination on out-of-distribution data.

🎯 Purpose

These datasets are designed to test how well object detection models perform when encountering images that differ from their training distribution. They are particularly useful for:

• Evaluating model robustness on out-of-distribution data
• Testing hallucination mitigation techniques
• Benchmarking domain adaptation capabilities
• Research on robust object detection

Evaluation Example

from ultralytics import YOLO
import os
from PIL import Image

# Load your trained model
model = YOLO('path/to/your/model.pt')

# Evaluate on far-ood dataset
far_ood_dir = "path/to/far-ood"
results = []

for img_file in os.listdir(far_ood_dir):
    if img_file.endswith('.jpg'):
        img_path = os.path.join(far_ood_dir, img_file)
        result = model(img_path)
        results.append(result)

# Analyze results for hallucination/false positives
