TLDR

The benchmark sequences were acquired outside the lab in realistic conditions. The authors present a benchmark for image‑based 3D reconstruction. Ground‑truth data were captured with an industrial laser scanner, and the benchmark includes outdoor and indoor scenes with high‑resolution video sequences to support pipelines that exploit video input for higher reconstruction fidelity. Performance of many image‑based 3D reconstruction pipelines on the benchmark reveals challenges and opportunities for future work.

Abstract

We present a benchmark for image-based 3D reconstruction. The benchmark sequences were acquired outside the lab, in realistic conditions. Ground-truth data was captured using an industrial laser scanner. The benchmark includes both outdoor scenes and indoor environments. High-resolution video sequences are provided as input, supporting the development of novel pipelines that take advantage of video input to increase reconstruction fidelity. We report the performance of many image-based 3D reconstruction pipelines on the new benchmark. The results point to exciting challenges and opportunities for future work.
