Tencent Static Mesh Database (TSMD)

Static meshes with texture map are widely used in modern industrial and manufacturing sectors, attracting considerable attention in the mesh compression community due to its huge amount of data. To facilitate the study of static mesh compression algorithm and objective quality metric, we create the Tencent Static Mesh Dataset (TSMD) containing 42 reference meshes with rich visual characteristics. 210 distorted samples are generated by the lossy compression scheme developed for the Call for Proposals on polygonal static mesh coding, released on June 23 by the Alliance for Open Media Volumetric Visual Media group. Using processed video sequences (PVSs), a large-scale, crowdsourcing-based, subjective experiment was conducted to collect subjective scores from 74 viewers.
