3DPW

Introduced by Timo von Marcard et al. in Recovering Accurate 3D Human Pose in The Wild Using IMUs and a Moving Camera1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The 3D Poses in the Wild dataset is the first dataset in the wild with accurate 3D poses for evaluation. While other datasets outdoors exist, they are all restricted to a small recording volume. 3DPW is the first one that includes video footage taken from a moving phone camera.

The dataset includes:

  • 60 video sequences.
  • 2D pose annotations.
  • 3D poses obtained with the method introduced in the paper.
  • Camera poses for every frame in the sequences.
  • 3D body scans and 3D people models (re-poseable and re-shapeable). Each sequence contains its corresponding models.
  • 18 3D models in different clothing variations.

30 shown of 113 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 395. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
