Datasets are one of the most valuable research outputs — they outlive papers and enable others to build on your work. If you use one of mine, please cite the DOI for the version you used.

SEAR Dataset

Vsevolod Skorokhodov, Chenghao Xu, Shuo Sun, Olga Fink, Malcolm Mielle (2026)

9 scenes (~2,000 images) of paired RGB/thermal trajectories captured under varying illumination and viewpoints, with distinct capture conditions per modality — a benchmark for multimodal 3D scene reconstruction. Introduced in SEAR.

ThermoScenes (ThermoNeRF)

Mariam Hassan, Florent Forest, Olga Fink, Malcolm Mielle (2024)

A dataset of paired RGB+thermal images: 8 scenes of building facades and 8 scenes of everyday objects, enabling evaluation of multimodal novel view synthesis in diverse scenarios. Introduced in thermonerf.

BuildNet3D Dataset

Chenghao Xu, Malcolm Mielle, Antoine Laborde, Ali Waseem, Florent Forest, Olga Fink (2025)

Synthetic and real-world building data for evaluating 3D reconstruction and geometric characteristic estimation (window-to-wall ratio, footprint area) — the benchmark used in buildnet3d.
