The CAnonically Posed 3D Objects Dataset

This is the home page of the canonically posed 3D objects dataset. The dataset contains a total of 180 generic objects uniformly distributed into 15 classes, wherein objects of the same class share a semantically defined fixed canonical pose. This is guaranteed via the construction protocol of the dataset, as is described in the corresponding article. Objects of the same class differ by body articulations, extrusions, parts deletion/addition, and generally, non-isotropic transformations that alter a specific object part. Transformations that have been applied to generate class instances are applied locally onto the reference object' s shape, therefore despite the fact that a purely geometrically defined canonical pose may is altered, the semantically defined, global canonical pose remains the same. You may refer for more details on the construction of the dataset and its intended use cases in the following article:
