Blender synthetic -- Ficus

Ground-truth mesh

Not present locally. See the acquisition plan below.

Why this sample is in the benchmark

Hundreds of thin leaves: the hardest geometry in the classic object set and the one that most cleanly separates a method that recovers thin structure from one that produces fuzzy volumes.

Acquisition plan

kind script, automatic False, estimated size 80 MiB

  1. Auto-download through nerfbaselines (recommended)
    pip install nerfbaselines && python -c "import nerfbaselines; nerfbaselines.download_dataset('blender')"
  2. Original NeRF synthetic + LLFF data release
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cK3UDIJqKAAm7zyrxRYVFJ0BRMgrwhh4
  3. Export ground-truth mesh from the .blend file
    blender -b ficus.blend --python examples/export_blend_mesh.py

Blender / NeRF synthetic scenes (Mildenhall et al.): lego, chair, drums, ficus, hotdog, materials, mic, ship. 100-200 upward-facing views with exact poses (transforms.json) AND the .blend files, from which the ground-truth mesh can be exported exactly. This is the reference object-level geometry benchmark.
