3D Insect Benchmark
We are a research team from NCNU in Taiwan.Our 3D Insect Benchmark provides a repository of 3D models and image.   The motivation is topromote the use of standardized data sets and evaluation methods for research in matching, classification, clustering, and recognition of 3D models.  Researchers are encouraged to use these resources to produce comparisons of competing algorithms in future publications.

3D models

We provide 3D models of insect specimens, a total of five types. At present, it is difficult to obtain models of biological specimens on the Internet. Therefore, we provide our research data to researchers who need them.

Classifications

We provide five kind of models, ten of them, each containing 120 scenes and a model file. We divided each specimen into three angles and each angle contained forty photos.
