✨ News

• DF3DV-Extra is now available, adding more than 1,000 new scenes and doubling the size of the DF3DV dataset! Please temporarily assign the credit for the DF3DV-Extra dataset to the DF3DV-1K team by mentioning that your work uses DF3DV-Extra, collected by the DF3DV-1K group, if you find the dataset useful.

DF3DV-1K

We release one thousand scenes with clean and cluttered images for distractor-free 3D vision research. The first few chunks were captured using interval shooting, resulting in a more casual and lower-quality capture setting (e.g., 0000 vs. 0024).
