Tosca hi-resolution 3D database v 1.0 http://tosca.cs.technion.ac.il/book/resources_data.html (c) Alexander & Michael Bronstein, 2006-2009 DESCRIPTION: Hi-resolution three-dimensional nonrigid shapes in a variety of poses for non-rigid shape similarity and correspondence experiments. The database contains a total of 80 objects, including 11 cats, 9 dogs, 3 wolves, 8 horses, 4 gorillas, 12 female figures, and two different male figures, containing 7 and 20 poses. The database also contains 6 centaurs for partial similarity experiments. Objects within the same class have the same triangulation and an equal number of vertices numbered in a compatible way. This can be used as a per-vertex ground truth correspondence in correspondence experiments. Two representations are available: MATLAB file (.mat) and ASCII text files containing the 1-based list of triangular faces (.tri), and a list of vertex XYZ coordinates (.vert). A .png thumbnail is available for each object. LICENSE: This data set is distributed as part of the TOSCA (Tools for Surface Comparison and Analysis) project and may be used for academic purposes. Any publication using the database should reference to A. M. Bronstein, M. M. Bronstein, R. Kimmel, Numerical geometry of non-rigid shapes, Springer, 2008.
