Sensor overview

Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Reference notes
Object-to-camera 6D pose is initialized manually, refined with models/shared depth and tracked across a static object arrangement. This is not external navigation truth; BOP converts model origins/units and evaluation membership.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

Author toolbox documents intrinsic_matrix and factor_depth in original meta.mat files. BOP redistribution supplies camera parameters with its own units/conventions; complete raw sessions are not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Ninety-two original real RGB-D videos contain twenty-one object identities. Eighty training videos and twelve held-out videos differ from selected evaluation keyframes and synthetic augmentation; this entry describes the physical-video core.

The old author project URL returns 404. The linked maintained BOP distribution provides reformatted real train/test archives, while its test subset, model origins/units and annotation conventions differ from original YCB-Video.

BOP warns against the original 80k synthetic training images because object poses overlap test poses; later PBR images are a separate augmentation product. Neither adds recorded videos or changes physical camera count.

Object references reuse depth/model assumptions and can have rolling-shutter, alignment, symmetry and occlusion errors. Raw calibration sessions, native depth cadence, device count and independent pose error remain unknown.
