PDSXray: A Benchmark Dataset for Pseudocoloring-Driven Domain Adaptation in Security X-ray Inspection

In the field of security X ray imaging, existing datasets mainly focus on endogenous domain shifts caused by hardware differences but do not address pseudocoloring driven domain shift (PDS), a type of domain shift resulting from different pseudocoloring schemes across devices. To fill this gap, we construct and release a benchmark dataset designed for studying domain shifts in security X ray inspection, focusing on both PDS and endogenous differences. The dataset has two complementary subsets: a synthetic subset, which applies controlled hue transformations on an endogenous domain shift dataset to isolate and evaluate PDS independently; and an aggregated subset, which integrates multiple public security datasets into a unified format for verifying cross domain and cross device model generalization. All annotations follow standardized structures with detailed descriptions to ensure reproducibility and comparability. This dataset provides a benchmark for evaluating object detection algorithms under domain shifts and supports studies on model robustness and generalization in diverse X ray security scenarios.
