PosterLayout

PKU PosterLayout, which consists of 9,974 poster-layout pairs and 905 images, i.e., non-empty canvases. Each layout is represented by a set of elements labeled with class and bounding box. We collect data from multiple sources to guarantee diversity and variety in content, domain, and layout, supporting it as a challenging benchmark expected to encourage further research. Besides the dataset, we propose and clearly define new metrics to accompany the old ones, a total of eight graphic and content-aware metrics. They evaluate the layouts in terms of utilization, non-occlusion, and aesthetics. Both quantitative results and visualized results show that the proposed approach outperforms other approaches by generating proper layouts on diverse canvases.
