NASA SOHO/LASCO2 comet challenge on AWS

The SOHO/LASCO data set (prepared for the challenge hosted in Topcoder) provided here comes from the instrument’s C2 telescope and comprises approximately 36,000 images spread across 2,950 comet observations. The human eye is a very sensitive tool and it is the only tool currently used to reliably detect new comets in SOHO data - particularly comets that are very faint and embedded in the instrument background noise. Bright comets can be easily detected in the LASCO data by relatively simple automated algorithms, but the majority of comets observed by the instrument are extremely faint, noise-level observations. Comets in...

The SOHO/LASCO data set (prepared for the challenge hosted in Topcoder) provided here comes from the instrument’s C2 telescope and comprises approximately 36,000 images spread across 2,950 comet observations. The human eye is a very sensitive tool and it is the only tool currently used to reliably detect new comets in SOHO data - particularly comets that are very faint and embedded in the instrument background noise. Bright comets can be easily detected in the LASCO data by relatively simple automated algorithms, but the majority of comets observed by the instrument are extremely faint, noise-level observations. Comets in SOHO/LASCO data are dynamic and morphologically diverse objects, and thus computationally highly complex to detect and track.

3DCoMPaT: Composition of Materials on Parts of 3D Things

3D CoMPaT is a richly annotated large-scale dataset of rendered compositions of Materials on Parts of thousands of unique 3D Models. This dataset primarily focuses on stylizing 3D shapes at part-level with compatible materials. Each object with the applied part-material compositions is rendered from four equally spaced views as well as four randomized views. We introduce a new task, called Grounded CoMPaT Recognition (GCR), to collectively recognize and ground compositions of materials on parts of 3D objects. We present two variations of this task and adapt state-of-art 2D/3D deep learning methods to solve the problem as...

A2D2: Audi Autonomous Driving Dataset

An open multi-sensor dataset for autonomous driving research. This dataset comprises semantically segmented images, semantic point clouds, and 3D bounding boxes. In addition, it contains unlabelled 360 degree camera images, lidar, and bus data for three sequences. The dataset supports learning tasks such as semantic segmentation, 3D object detection, SLAM, and depth estimation. We hope this dataset will further facilitate active research and development in AI, computer vision, and robotics for autonomous driving.
