We present HoliCity, a city-scale 3D dataset with rich structural information. Currently, this dataset has 6,300 real-world panoramas of resolution 13312 × 6656 that are accurately aligned with the CAD model of downtown London with an area of more than 20 km2, in which the median reprojection error of the alignment of an average image is less than half a degree. This dataset aims to be an all-in-one data platform for research of learning abstracted high-level holistic 3D structures that can be derived from city CAD models, e.g., corners, lines, wireframes, planes, and cuboids, with the ultimate goal of supporting real-world applications including city-scale reconstruction, localization, mapping, and augmented reality.
HoliCity covers an area of more than 20km2 of the London city from 6,300 viewpoints, which dwarfs previous datasets based on LIDAR technology. Here, we show the coverage map that is aligned with Google Maps and compares it against the Oxford RobotCar dataset under the same scale.
We carefully align the panoramas with the 3D models. We show the reprojection error of annotated points between the images and the CAD model. We find that for an average image, the median reprojection error is less than half a degree and the 95th percentile does not exceed 1.2 degrees.
HoliCity provides labels to support learning-based methods for outdoor environments. We demonstrate the results on tasks such as holistic surface segmentation and normal estimation. Please refer to our paper for more details.
