Fifteen Scene Categories This is a dataset of fifteen natural scene categories that expands on the  thirteen category dataset released by  Fei-Fei Li. The two new categories are industrial and  store. Classification results for the fifteen categories are presented in the following paper: Svetlana Lazebnik, Cordelia Schmid, and Jean Ponce.  Beyond Bags of Features: Spatial Pyramid Matching for Recognizing Natural Scene Categories. Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2006, accepted. Download (84 MB zip file) Thanks to  Fei-Fei Li and  Aude Oliva for providing parts of this database. 3D Object Recognition Stereo Dataset This dataset consists of 9 objects and 80 test images. The training images are  stereo views for each of the 9 objects that are roughly equally spaced around the equatorial ring for each of them. The number of stereo views ranges from 7 to 12 for the different objects. The test images are  monocular images of objects under varying amounts of clutter and occlusion and different lighting conditions. Results on this dataset are reported in the following paper: Akash Kushal and Jean Ponce.  Modeling 3D Objects from Stereo Views and Recognizing them in Photographs. Proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision, 2006, to appear. Browse and download 3D Photography Dataset This is a collection of ten multiview data sets captured in our lab. Each set consists of 24 images of a single rigid object, together with camera parameters and extracted apparent contours for each image.  Reconstruction results for this dataset appear in the following paper: Yasutaka Furukawa and Jean Ponce.  Carved Visual Hulls for Image-Based Modeling.
