V-Human dataset

---

Clothed human shape estimation has been a topic of interest in the computer vision community for many years and recently has become even more relevant due to the leap in performance given by recent deep learning approaches. In order to alleviate the cost and quality issues with existing commercial and freely available datasets respectively, we have created a dataset from synthetic models suitable for training deep learning algorithms for 3D human reconstruction from images. To prepare the dataset we used the fully rigged avatars from the Microsoft Rocketbox library [Gonzalez-Franco et al., 2020], re-targeted Mixamo animations to them, and finally refined them to make them suitable to be used as direct input for learning techniques.

Dataset details

This dataset contains 2160 models, divided into two subsets: training (1944) and test (216).

It contains 90 different subjects (81 for training and 9 for testing) with 24 poses per subject.

For each model, a mesh with its correspondent texture is given in obj format.
