Scanned Objects by Google Research: A Dataset of 3D-Scanned Common Household Items

Posted by Laura Downs and Anthony Francis, Software Engineers, Robotics at Google

Many recent advances in computer vision and robotics rely on deep learning, but training deep learning models requires a wide variety of data to generalize to new scenarios. Historically, deep learning for computer vision has relied on datasets with millions of items that were gathered by web scraping, examples of which include ImageNet, Open Images, YouTube-8M, and COCO. However, the process of creating …
