Primitives Dataset

A small dataset consisting of short video clips, each containing one of six shapes (cone, cube, cylinder, monkey, sphere, torus) on a black background.

The dataset was used during my experiments with Hierarchical Temporal Memory involving video classification ​(Wielgosz and Pietroń 2017)​.

The clips were generated using Blender. Available clip lengths are 4 frames (10k clips), 32 frames (1k clips), and 150 frames (1k clips). Additionally, the 32-frames-long clips are available in five resolutions. Accompanying video clips is an image dataset (10k images).

The dataset is available under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
