{"url":"/dataset/hbw","name":"HBW","full_name":"Human Bodies in the Wild","description_markdown":"Human Bodies in the Wild (HBW) is a validation and test set for body shape estimation. It consists of images taken in the wild and ground truth 3D body scans in SMPL-X topology. To create HBW, we collect body scans of 35 participants and register the SMPL-X model to the scans. Further each participant is photographed in various outfits and poses in front of a white background and uploads full-body photos of themselves taken in the wild. The validation and test set images are released. The ground truth shape is only released for the validation set.","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://shapy.is.tue.mpg.de/datasets.html","introduced_date":"2022-06-14","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/accurate-3d-body-shape-regression-using-1","title":"Accurate 3D Body Shape Regression using Metric and Semantic Attributes","first_author":"Vasileios Choutas","url":null},"license":null,"modalities":[{"name":"Images","url":"/datasets/modality/images"},{"name":"Texts","url":"/datasets/modality/texts"},{"name":"3D","url":"/datasets/modality/3d"}],"tasks":[{"name":"3D Human Reconstruction","url":"/task/3d-human-reconstruction","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/3d-human-reconstruction"},{"name":"3D Human Shape Estimation","url":"/task/3d-human-shape-estimation","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/3d-human-shape-estimation"},{"name":"Monocular 3D Human Pose Estimation","url":"/task/monocular-3d-human-pose-estimation","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/monocular-3d-human-pose-estimation"}],"languages":[],"variants":["HBW"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":7,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
