GT23D-Bench: A Comprehensive General Text-to-3D Generation Benchmark
This addresses a critical gap for researchers in 3D generation by providing a standardized evaluation framework, though it is incremental as it builds on existing datasets and metrics.
The authors tackled the lack of a systematic benchmark for General Text-to-3D (GT23D) generation by creating GT23D-Bench, which includes a curated 400k high-fidelity 3D dataset and comprehensive 3D-aware evaluation metrics, with experiments showing alignment with human preferences.
Recent advances in General Text-to-3D (GT23D) have been significant. However, the lack of a benchmark has hindered systematic evaluation and progress due to issues in datasets and metrics: 1) The largest 3D dataset Objaverse suffers from omitted annotations, disorganization, and low-quality. 2) Existing metrics only evaluate textual-image alignment without considering the 3D-level quality. To this end, we are the first to present a comprehensive benchmark for GT23D called GT23D-Bench consisting of: 1) a 400k high-fidelity and well-organized 3D dataset that curated issues in Objaverse through a systematical annotation-organize-filter pipeline; and 2) comprehensive 3D-aware evaluation metrics which encompass 10 clearly defined metrics thoroughly accounting for multi-dimension of GT23D. Notably, GT23D-Bench features three properties: 1) Multimodal Annotations. Our dataset annotates each 3D object with 64-view depth maps, normal maps, rendered images, and coarse-to-fine captions. 2) Holistic Evaluation Dimensions. Our metrics are dissected into a) Textual-3D Alignment measures textual alignment with multi-granularity visual 3D representations; and b) 3D Visual Quality which considers texture fidelity, multi-view consistency, and geometry correctness. 3) Valuable Insights. We delve into the performance of current GT23D baselines across different evaluation dimensions and provide insightful analysis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our annotations and metrics are aligned with human preferences.
