HSSD: Habitat Synthetic Scenes Dataset
==================================

The [Habitat Synthetic Scenes Dataset (HSSD)](https://3dlg-hcvc.github.io/hssd/) is a human-authored 3D scene dataset that more closely mirrors real scenes than prior datasets.
Our dataset represents real interiors and contains a diverse set of 211 scenes and more than 18000 models of real-world objects.

This repository provides a Habitat consumption-ready compressed version of HSSD.
See [this repository](https://huggingface.co/datasets/hssd/hssd-models) for corresponding uncompressed assets.

- `hssd-hab.scene_dataset_config.json`: This SceneDataset config file aggregates the assets and metadata necessary to fully describe the set of stages, objects, and scenes constituting the dataset
- `objects`: 3D models representing distinct objects that are used to compose scenes
- `stages`: A stage in Habitat is the set of static mesh components which make up the backdrop of a scene (e.g. floor, walls, stairs, etc.)
- `scenes`: A scene is a single 3D world composed of a static stage and a variable number of objects


## Getting Started

To load HSSD scenes into the Habitat simulator, you can start by installing [habitat-sim](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim) using instructions specified [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim#installation).

Once installed, you can run the interactive Habitat viewer to load a scene:

```
habitat-viewer --dataset /path/to/hssd-hab/hssd-hab.scene_dataset_config.json -- 102344280
# or ./build/viewer if compiling from source
```

You can find more information about using the interactive viewer [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim#testing:~:text=path/to/data/-,Interactive%20testing,-%3A%20Use%20the%20interactive).

Habitat-Sim is typically used with [Habitat-Lab](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab), a modular high-level library for end-to-end experiments in embodied AI.
To define embodied AI tasks (e.g. navigation, instruction following, question answering), train agents, and benchmark their performance using standard metrics, you can download habitat-lab using the instructions provided [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab#installation).

## Changelog

- `v0.2.3`: First release.
- `v0.2.4`: 
  - Recompresses several object GLBs to preserve PBR material status. 
  - Adds CSV with object metadata and semantic lexicon files for Habitat.
  - Adds train/val scene splits file.
