A few example datasets: BABEL, Mimic-the-Pose (MTP), AGORA, GRAB, ReSynth, SAMP, and PROX.
Datasets with ground truth have driven many of the recent advances in computer vision. They allow evaluation and comparison so the field knows what works and what does not. They also provide training data to machine learning methods that are hungry for data. Code is equally important as it supports reproducible research and enables the field to build on past results. With freely available data and code, the whole field moves faster.
We have played central roles in many influential datasets and evaluations in the field including Middlebury Flow, Sintel, KITTI, HumanEva, FAUST, JHMDB, and others. Over the last six years we have released several major datasets related to faces, hands, 3D bodies, clothing, animals, and optical flow.
