title: LAS&T: Large Shape And Texture Dataset

description: The Large Shape And Texture Dataset (LAS&T)

LAS&T is the largest and most diverse dataset for shape, texture and material recognition and retrieval in 2D and 3D with 650,000 images, based on real world shapes and textures.

Overview

The LAS&T Dataset aims to test the most basic aspect of vision in the most general way. Mainly the ability to identify any shape, texture, and material in any setting and environment, without being limited to specific types or classes of objects, materials, and environments. For shapes, this means identifying and retrieving any shape in 2D or 3D with every element of the shape changed between images, including the material and texture, orientation, size, and environment. For textures and materials, the goal is to recognize the same texture or material when appearing on different objects, environments, and light conditions. The dataset relies on shapes, textures, and materials extracted from real-world images, leading to an almost unlimited quantity and diversity of real-world natural patterns. Each section of the dataset (shapes, and textures), contains 3D parts that rely on physics-based scenes with realistic light materials and object simulation and abstract 2D parts. In addition, a real-world images benchmark for 3D shapes recognition is also supplied.

Main Dataset webpage

The dataset contain four parts parts:

3D shape recognition and retrieval.

2D shape recognition and retrieval.

3D Materials recognition and retrieval.

2D Texture recognition and retrieval.

Each can be used independently for training and testing.

Additional assets are a set of 350,000 natural 2D shapes extracted from real-world images (SHAPES_COLLECTION_350k.zip)

The scripts used to generate and test the dataset are supplied as in SCRIPT** files.

Shapes Recognition and Retrieval:

For shape recognition the goal is to identify the same shape in different images, where the material/texture/color of the shape is changed, the shape is rotated, and the background is replaced. Hence, only the shape remains the same in both images. All files with 3D shapes contain samples of the 3D shape dataset. This is tested for 3D shapes/objects with realistic light simulation. All files with 2D shapes contain samples of the 2D shape dataset. Examples files contain images with examples for each set.

Main files:

Real_Images_3D_shape_matching_Benchmarks.zip contains real-world image benchmarks for 3D shapes.

3D_Shape_Recognition_Synthethic_GENERAL_LARGE_SET_76k.zip A Large number of synthetic examples 3D shapes with max variability can be used for training/testing 3D shape/objects recognition/retrieval.

 

2D_Shapes_Recognition_Textured_Synthetic_Resize2_GENERAL_LARGE_SET_61k.zip A Large number of synthetic examples for 2D shapes with max variability can be used for training/testing 2D shape recognition/retrieval.

 

SHAPES_2D_365k.zip 365,000 2D shapes extracted from real-world images saved as black and white .png image files.

File structure:

All jpg images that are in the exact same subfolder contain the exact same shape (but with different texture/color/background/orientation).

Textures and Materials Recognition and Retrieval

For texture and materials, the goal is to identify and match images containing the same material or textures, however the shape/object on which the material texture is applied is different, and so is the background and light.

This is done for physics-based material in 3D and abstract 2D textures.

 

3D_Materials_PBR_Synthetic_GENERAL_LARGE_SET_80K.zip A Large number of examples of 3D materials in physics grounded can be used for training or testing of material recognition/retrieval.

 

2D_Textures_Recogition__GENERAL_LARGE_SET_Synthetic_53K.zip

Large number of images of 2D texture in maximum variability of setting can be used for training/testing 2D textured recognition/retrieval.

 

File structure:

All jpg images that are in the exact same subfolder contain the exact same texture/material (but overlay on different objects with different background/and illumination/orientation).

Data Generation:

The images in the synthetic part of the dataset were created by automatically extracting shapes and textures from natural images and combining them in synthetic images. This created synthetic images that completely rely on real-world patterns, making extremely diverse and complex shapes and textures. As far as we know this is the largest and most diverse shape and texture recognition/retrieval dataset. 3D data was generated using physics-based material and rendering (blender) making the images physically grounded and enabling using the data to train for real-world examples. The scripts for generating the data are supplied in files with the world SCRIPTS* in them.

Real-world image data:

For 3D shape recognition and retrieval, we also supply a real-world natural image benchmark. With a variety of natural images containing the exact same 3D shape but made/coated with different materials and in different environments and orientations. The goal is again to identify the same shape in different images. The benchmark is available at: Real_Images_3D_shape_matching_Benchmarks.zip 

File structure:

Files containing the word 'GENERAL_LARGE_SET' contains synthetic images that can be used for training or testing, the type of data (2D shapes, 3D shapes, 2D textures, 3D materials) that appears in the file name, as well as the number of images. Files containing  MultiTests contain a number of different tests in which only a single aspect of the aspect of the instance is changed (for example only the background.) File containing "SCRIPTS" contain data generation testing scripts. Images containing "examples" are example of  each test.

Shapes Collections

The file SHAPES_COLLECTION_350k.zip contains 350,000 2D shapes extracted from natural images and used for the dataset generation.

 

Evaluating and Testing

For evaluating and testing see: SCRIPTS_Testing_LVLM_ON_LAST_VQA.zip This can be use to test leading LVLMs using api, create human tests, and in general turn the dataset into multichoice question images similar to the one in the paper.
