HOWS-CL-25: Household Objects Within Simulation Dataset for Continual Learning

Abstract

HOWS-CL-25 (Household Objects Within Simulation dataset for Continual Learning) is a synthetic dataset especially designed for object classification on mobile robots operating in a changing environment (like a household), where it is important to learn new, never seen objects on the fly. This dataset can also be used for other learning use-cases, like instance segmentation or depth estimation. Or where household objects or continual learning are of interest. Our dataset contains 150,795 unique synthetic images using 25 different household categories with 925 3D models in total. For each of those categories, we generated about 6000 RGB images. In addition, we also provide a corresponding depth, segmentation, and normal image.
