AudioEar: Single-View Ear Reconstruction for Personalized Spatial Audio

Abstract

We introduce AudioEar3D, a high-quality 3D ear dataset consisting of 112 point cloud ear scans with RGB images, to benchmark the ear reconstruction task. We further collect a 2D ear dataset composed of 2,000 images, each one with manual annotation of occlusion and 55 landmarks, named AudioEar2D. To our knowledge, both datasets have the largest scale and best quality of their kinds for public use.

The code is publicly available at https://github.com/seanywang0408/AudioEar.
