What's Included

Free sample synthetic depth datasets generated deterministically using ForgeOptics — Structured Light Depth Simulator. each sample scene folder contains the following files:

1. depth_z.exr — Raw 32-bit float metric depth map. Using camera intrinsics (calib), you can reconstruct the true 3D point cloud.

2. render.png — RGB render output.

3. seg_index.json — Object-ID segmentation mask mapping and class index metadata.

4. pointcloud_scene3.ply — Pre-reconstructed 3D point cloud (provided for Scene 3 as an example reference; other raw point clouds are excluded to keep file sizes manageable).

Generated by ForgeOptics

These datasets are produced by ForgeOptics, a high-performance optical simulation engine designed for synthetic data generation. Key Software Features

• Physically Accurate Structured Light Simulation: Simulates multi-frequency phase-shift fringe pattern projection for depth acquisition.
• Complex Optics Path Tracing: Accurately models optical refractions, surface caustics, metallic reflections, and PBR materials.
• AOV Extraction + OIDN Denoising: Extracts clean first-hit G-buffers (Albedo, Normals, Metric Depth) with Open Image Denoise.
• Automated Headless Integration: Runs as an HTTP microservice (--headless) for Python-driven batch generation pipelines.
• Multi-Format Ingestion: Direct CAD model loading (.obj, .glb, .stl).

What Problems Does It Solve?

In computer vision and industrial robotics, acquiring ground-truth depth data for physical sensors is difficult, expensive, and error-prone. ForgeOptics addresses key challenges:

1. No Sensor Noise / Calibration Overhead: Eliminates the manual labor of capturing and labeling real-world 3D scanner data.

2. Challenging Optical Surfaces: Solves ground-truth depth generation for hard-to-scan materials like PBR glass, reflective metal, and dark absorbing plastics. Easily swap materials on the same geometry to generate perfect side-by-side ground-truth comparison datasets.

3. Edge Case Dataset Expansion: Allows rapid generation of thousands of corner-case scenes under varying light conditions and camera poses before real hardware deployment.

4. Ideal for Vision-Language & Physical AI: Provides perfect, pixel-aligned depth and segmentation ground truth for fine-tuning object detection, instance segmentation, and 3D pose estimation models.
