Shape Geometry Dataset

Synthetic graph-based centerline representations of 3D geometric motifs (pipe-like structures).

JSON Schema

dataset.json is an array of shape records. Each record:

{
  "category": "arc_90",
  "nodes": [[x, y, z], ...],
  "edges": [[i, j], ...],
  "features": {
    "curvature": [0.0, 0.1, ...],
    "segment_angle": [0.0, 160.5, ...]
  }
}
Field Type Description
category string Shape class label (e.g. straight, arc_90, corner)
nodes float[][] (N×3) 3D points with ~1-unit spacing between neighbors
edges int[][] (E×2) Index pairs connecting nodes
features.curvature float[] (N) Menger curvature per node (0 at endpoints/hubs)
features.segment_angle float[] (N) Angle in degrees between edges at each node

Categories

Category What it is Samples
straight Random-length line segment (5–20 units)
arc_10 10° gentle arc, R=10
arc_20 20° arc
arc_30 30° arc
arc_40 40° arc
arc_50 50° arc
arc_60 60° arc
arc_70 70° arc
arc_80 80° arc
arc_90 90° quarter-circle bend
arc_100 100° arc
arc_110 110° arc
arc_120 120° wide arc
arc_130 130° arc
arc_140 140° arc
arc_150 150° near-semicircle
arc_160 160° arc
arc_170 170° near-full semicircle
corner Two straight arms at a sharp 90° angle
junction_T Through-pipe with perpendicular branch (T-shape)
junction_Y Trunk splitting into two splayed arms (Y-shape)

Why this structure?

  • Nodes + edges = graph — directly loadable into GNN frameworks (PyTorch Geometric, DGL).
  • Unit spacing — standardises graph density across shapes; a 15-unit straight and a 90° arc at R=10 both have proportional node counts.
  • Random rigid pose — every sample gets a random 3D rotation + translation so the model can't memorise orientation.
  • Per-node features — curvature and segment angle give the network local geometric cues beyond raw xyz, helping distinguish arcs from straights even when node counts overlap.
  • Junctions share a hub node — T and Y shapes have one node connected to 3 edges, matching real pipe topology and giving the GNN a clear topological signal.
