The D2P dataset

The D2P dataset is a dataset based on the Depth2Pose monocular depth estimation benchmark, a pose-based evaluation of MDEs without ground-truth depth. The dataset contains challenging scenes outside the distribution of common training data, together with a simple and extensible evaluation framework, presented on the github page. The scenes are divided into two categories: statues and vegetation. Undistorted images and reconstructions in standard colmap format is provided for each scene, together with a list of image pairs used for the evaluation.

Dataset Fields

Each scene contains:

• images/: RGB images
• sparse/: COLMAP reconstruction files:
  • camera parameters
  • frames
  • image poses
  • 3D points
  • rigs
• scene1_image_list.txt: List of all images used for the benchmark, found in the images/ folder
• scene1_image_pairs.txt: List of all image pairs used for the benchmark, for which realtive pose is evaluated
