RGBD Datasets: Past, Present and Future

Understand

Since the launch of the Microsoft Kinect, scores of RGBD datasets have been released.

• These have propelled advances in areas from reconstruction to gesture recognition.
• In this paper we explore the field, reviewing datasets across eight categories: semantics, object pose estimation, camera tracking, scene reconstruction, object tracking, human actions, faces and identification.
• By extracting relevant information in each category we help researchers to find appropriate data for their needs, and we consider which datasets have succeeded in driving computer vision forward and why.
