Hôtel de la Marine dataset for 3D reconstruction

A photographic cultural heritage dataset captured inside the Hôtel de la Marine, an 18th-century Palace located on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. The monument was meticulously restored to recreate the historical atmosphere of the Intendant Apartments. The Hôtel de la Marine dataset comprises two indoor scenes: the Salon (a formal dining room) and the Bureau (a working office). Both scenes feature complex geometry and challenging material properties for 3D reconstruction, including transparent crystal glassware, highly reflective silverware and gilt bronze, polished wood furniture, textiles, fine porcelain objects, and intricate decorative details. The images were captured during evening hours after the museum closed to visitors, ensuring static scene conditions, consistent artificial illumination from period-appropriate fixtures, and no moving objects or people. Specification Salon Bureau Wide-angle capture (Canon professional camera, 24 mm lens) 916 images (8192 × 5464 px) 761 images (8216 × 5482 px) Close-up capture (iPhone 15 Pro Max) 221 images (3024 × 4032 px) — Total images 1137 images 761 images The multi-scale capture strategy (wide-angle + close-up) is designed to support region-of-interest (ROI) based 3D reconstruction, thereby enabling high-fidelity quality of specific objects within their broader scene context. The main objective of this dataset is to evaluate different 3D reconstruction methods. The dataset was used in our following publications: Quoc-Anh Bui, Gilles Rougeron, Géraldine Morin, and Simone Gasparini.
