TerraSky3D: Multi-View Reconstructions of European Landmarks in 4K
This provides a challenging dataset for training and evaluating 3D reconstruction pipelines, addressing a data bottleneck in the field.
The authors tackled the scarcity of high-quality public 3D datasets by creating TerraSky3D, a large-scale dataset with 50,000 images across 150 scenes of European landmarks, including calibration data, camera poses, and depth maps.
Despite the growing need for data of more and more sophisticated 3D reconstruction pipelines, we can still observe a scarcity of suitable public datasets. Existing 3D datasets are either low resolution, limited to a small amount of scenes, based on images of varying quality because retrieved from the internet, or limited to specific capturing scenarios. Motivated by this lack of suitable 3D datasets, we captured TerraSky3D, a high-resolution large-scale 3D reconstruction dataset comprising 50,000 images divided into 150 ground, aerial, and mixed scenes. The dataset focuses on European landmarks and comes with curated calibration data, camera poses, and depth maps. TerraSky3D tries to answer the need for challenging dataset that can be used to train and evaluate 3D reconstruction-related pipelines.
