DensePose Model Weights and Configuration Files

Pretrained DensePose models and configuration files from Detectron2:

• —`densepose_rcnn_R_50_FPN_soft_animals_I0_finetune_i2m_16k.yaml`
• —`Base-DensePose-RCNN-FPN.yaml`
• —`model_final_8c9d99.pkl`

Laplace-Beltrami Operators

For details on Laplace-Beltrami operators used in this project, refer to Section 3.1 of Continuous Surface Embeddings (CSE) paper.

SMAL Model

The SMAL model files are taken from the project BITE: Beyond Priors for Improved 3D Dog Pose Estimation:

• —`my_smpl_39dogsnorm_newv3_dog.pkl`
• —`symmetry_inds.json`

Sparse Keypoints

Sparse keypoints are generated using the keypoint prediction module provided by BITE.

COP3D Dataset

This project is built using the COP3D dataset. We provide a subset of 50 videos used in our experiments. To access the full dataset, follow the official download instructions.

Each video directory contains:

• —images: Original video frames from COP3D
• —masks: Corresponding foreground masks
• —part_masks: Part segmentation masks (head, tail, body, legs) generated using PartGLEE
• —tracking_points.pt: Tracking data generated using BootsTAP

License

This is not a new dataset. All data used in this project are derived from existing public sources, such as COP3D, BITE, and others.

We fully adhere to the terms of use and licenses of all referenced datasets. If you believe that any part of the data presented here violates applicable rights or policies, please contact us. We are committed to addressing any such concerns promptly and appropriately.
