HumanDataset is a service by Renderpeople to meet the needs of the computer vision industry. Since 2013 Renderpeople is one of the world leaders in the production, development and distribution of scanned 3D People models as stock footage.

Renderpeople datasets have already been used for many years in the field of 3D visualization and graphics. Now, they also offer an extreme added value in the field of computer vision research. Numerous internationally renowned companies, research institutes and universities have already worked with Renderpeople datasets to feed machine learning models or simulations with detailed scanned human 3D data to work on difficult CV applications like 3D human perception and reconstruction or pose estimation.

Authentic high-resolution 3D scans help to generate ground truth synthetic training data for machine learning. A modern state-of-the-art 3D dataset fulfills the most important requirements for a successful ML-driven research approach: versatility, volume and quality. In addition, a 3D dataset offers various annotation possibilities for supervised learning that are not feasible with a conventional dataset of 2D imagery.
