In recent years we have witnessed an explosion in the amount of 3D data that we can generate and store. On one hand, better 3D modeling tools have enabled designers to build 3D models easily, resulting in an expansion in the size of 3D CAD model repositories. On the other hand, commodity depth sensors have allowed ordinary people to conveniently capture their own 3D scans. We need good techniques for leveraging such 3D content, in order to design algorithms that successfully understand our 3D world. However, due to fundamental challenges in dealing with 3D representations and processing, there are still many open research issues. Two key research problems are: (1) 3D shape reconstruction based on a single image, and (2) shape part level segmentation. Existing algorithms are usually evaluated on small datasets with a few hundreds of models, even though millions of 3D models are now available on the Internet. Thanks to the efforts of the ShapeNet team [1,2], we can now use a much larger and varied repository of 3D models to develop and evaluate new algorithms in computer vision and computer graphics. In this track, we aim to evaluate the performance of 3D reconstruction based on single image and shape part level segmentation on a subset of the ShapeNet dataset.
In the 3D reconstruction challenge, the task is defined as reconstructing a 3D shape, given a single image as input. We use the ShapeNetCore subset of ShapeNet which contains about 48,600 3D models over 55 common categories. We have created a 70%/10%/20% training/validation/test split from this dataset. We choose voxels as the output 3D representations. Each model is represented by 256^3 voxels. Each voxel contains 1 or 0 as its value. 1 indicates occupancy and 0 indicates free space. Besides, we also provide the synthesized images as input. A unique model ID is used to label the model's synthesized images and voxels. Voxel resolution is allowed to change by down-sampling or up-sampling our voxels in training stage. The final evalution in the testing stage should be on the full 256^3 voxels. Download links:

In part level segmentation challenge, the task is defined as predicting a per point part label, given 3D shape point clouds and their category labels. We use a subset of ShapeNetCore containing about 17,000 models from 16 shape categories [2]. Each category is annotated with 2 to 6 parts and there are 50 different parts annotated in total. 3D shapes are represented as point clouds uniformly sampled from 3D surfaces. Part annotations are represented as point labels, ranging from 1 to the number of parts. We have created a 70%/10%/20% training/validation/test split from this dataset. Shapes and labels are organized into different categories and each folder corresponds to one category. The mapping from folder name to category name can be found here.

Please submit result as zip archives for test model sets. Follow the submission format described HERE.
Each participating team will write a report describing their method and its implementation. The maximum is one page with at most two figures (included in page length). There is no need to include any test result details -- we will be computing the evaluation statistics for all participants. We require both a PDF file and source LaTeX files. Please use the ICCV 2017 LaTeX template . Include the names and affiliations of all members of the team when you submit your method description.
To make your submission, package your results as specified in the result format description, and create your method writeup as specified above. Then create a single zip archive with all your files and compute an MD5 checksum for it. Send the MD5 checksum and a download link for your file to shapenetchallenge.iccv17@gmail.com by Sep 30 UTC. We will confirm each submission after it is successfully received.
Please send email to shapenetchallenge.iccv17@gmail.com if you have any questions.
We provide two metrics to evaluate the reconstructed voxels.
