A synthesized dataset for Object Shadow Generation with python
Object-Shadow-Generation-Dataset-DESOBA
Object Shadow Generation is to deal with the shadow inconsistency between the foreground object and the background in a composite image, that is, generating shadow for the foreground object according to background information, to make the composite image more realistic.
Our dataset DESOBA is a synthesized dataset for Object Shadow Generation. We build our dataset on the basis of Shadow-OBject Association dataset SOBA, which collects real-world images in complex scenes and provides annotated masks for object-shadow pairs. Based on SOBA dataset, we remove all the shadows to construct our DEshadowed Shadow-OBject Association(DESOBA) dataset, which can be used for shadow generation task and other shadow-related tasks as well. We illustrate the process of our DESOBA dataset construction based on SOBA dataset in the figure below.
