Detection Moving MNIST (Easy)
Description
Repository: https://github.com/maxploter/detection-moving-mnist
A synthetic video dataset for object detection and tracking, featuring moving MNIST digits with:
- 1-10 digits per sequence
- Linear trajectories with small random translations
- 128x128 resolution grayscale frames
- 20 frames per video sequence
- Digit size 28x28
- Per-frame annotations including:
- Digit labels (0-9)
- Center coordinates (x,y)
Supported Tasks
- Object detection in video
- Multi-object tracking
- Video understanding
- Spatiotemporal modeling
Structure
Data Instances
A typical example contains:
{
'video': [video frames], # Array of shape (20, 128, 128, 3)
'targets': [{
'labels': List[int], # Digit classes present
'center_points': List[Tuple], # (x,y) coordinates
} for each frame]
}
Data Format
- Arrow
- Total dataset size: approximately {PLACEHOLDER} GB
- Frame rate: 10 fps

Using the Dataset
Basic Loading
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Max-Ploter/detection-moving-mnist-easy")
Visualization Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
# Load a single example
example = dataset['train'][0]
frames = example['video']
annotations = example['targets']
# Visualize first frame with bounding boxes
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.imshow(frames[0], cmap='gray')
# Draw bounding boxes
for label, center in zip(annotations[0]['labels'], annotations[0]['center_points']):
x, y = center
# Assuming digit size of approximately 28x28 pixels
rect = patches.Rectangle((x-14, y-14), 28, 28, linewidth=1,
edgecolor='r', facecolor='none')
plt.gca().add_patch(rect)
plt.text(x, y-20, str(label), color='white', fontsize=12,
bbox=dict(facecolor='red', alpha=0.5))
plt.title('Frame 0 with Object Detection')
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
Limitations
- Synthetic dataset with simple black backgrounds
- Linear trajectories may not represent complex real-world motion
- No complex occlusion handling or object interactions
- No lighting variations or perspective transformations
