Benchmark tasks
Five perception tasks that mirror KITTI's, specialised for fine-grained natural geometry. Every one of them is supported by exact ground truth on the same frames — see them side by side on the example capture.
1. Stereo matching
Compute disparity from the rectified left/right pair. Foliage is the hard case here: thin branches and repeated leaf texture defeat the window-matching assumptions that work on road scenes. Evaluation is performed in non-occluded regions.
- Input
- left/ + right/ RGB
- Ground truth
- left_disparity/*_px.npy (float px), *_px16.png (16-bit)
- Metrics
- D1-all, EPE, bad-1.0 / bad-3.0
2. Monocular & stereo depth estimation
Predict per-pixel metric depth. Because the scene is fully synthetic, the ground truth is exact everywhere — including inside the canopy, where a real depth sensor would return nothing at all.
- Input
- left/ RGB alone, or the stereo pair
- Ground truth
- left_depth/*.exr, *_m.npy (metres), *_mm.png (16-bit mm)
- Metrics
- AbsRel, RMSE, δ<1.25
3. Surface-normal prediction
Estimate world-space surface normals taken directly from the scene geometry rather than differentiated from depth, so they stay sharp across bark ridges and leaf edges.
- Input
- left/ RGB
- Ground truth
- left_normal/*.exr, *_world.npy (world space)
- Metrics
- Mean / median angular error, share within 11.25°
4. Instance segmentation
Separate individual tree instances and pick the foreground tree out of the surrounding canopy — instances that interpenetrate and share both colour and texture.
- Input
- left/ RGB
- Ground truth
- left_seg/*_id.png plus the *_instances.json legend
- Metrics
- Mask AP, IoU on the target instance
5. 3D reconstruction
Reconstruct the geometry of the target tree from the orbit. Per-frame clouds share a coordinate frame, so a merged reference is available for direct comparison.
- Input
- The full orbit of stereo frames
- Ground truth
- pointcloud/*.ply per frame, plus merged scene aggregates
- Metrics
- Chamfer distance, F-score at 1 cm / 5 cm
Submitting results
A submission endpoint with a public leaderboard is currently in private alpha. To request access, please contact the maintainer.
In the meantime the dataset is complete enough to evaluate locally: every metric above can be computed from the files shipped with each capture, with no held-out split withheld from you.
