ShapeNet: An Information-Rich 3D Model Repository

Chang, Angel X., Funkhouser, Thomas, Guibas, Leonidas et al.

Understand

We present ShapeNet: a richly-annotated, large-scale repository of shapes represented by 3D CAD models of objects.

  • ShapeNet contains 3D models from a multitude of semantic categories and organizes them under the WordNet taxonomy.
  • It is a collection of datasets providing many semantic annotations for each 3D model such as consistent rigid alignments, parts and bilateral symmetry planes, physical sizes, keywords, as well as other planned annotations.
  • Annotations are made available through a public web-based interface to enable data visualization of object attributes, promote data-driven geometric analysis, and provide a large-scale quantitative benchmark for research in computer graphics and vision.
