+
+<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
+
+The SHREC 2021 Track on Quantifying Shape Complexity aimed to provide a benchmark for the quantification of 3D shape complexity.  Shape complexity is an ill-defined concept. Hence, the concept is explored complexity multiple tasks and data collections. Due to the relative nature of complexity, a linear order may not make sense. There may be multiple aspects of complexity that can be measured.
+
+In the first collection, we consider synthetically acquired noisy cubes and spheres.
+
+The second collection consists of abstract shapes and is made up of two subcollections each composed of 25 shapes.
+
+The third part consists of the categorized shapes of the Princeton Segmentation Benchmark (Chen et al., "A Benchmark for 3D Mesh Segmentation", TOG, 28.3, 2009).
+
+Each of these collections can be considered as seeking a different aspect of shape complexity.
