NYU Depth V2

 It features:

• 1449 densely labeled pairs of aligned RGB and depth images
• 464 new scenes taken from 3 cities
• 407,024 new unknown frames
• Each object is labeled with a class and an instance number (cup1, cup2, cup3, etc)

The dataset has several components:

• Labeled: A subset of the video data advised by dense multi-class labels.
• Raw: The raw RGB, depth, and motion sensor data as provided by the Kinect.

Toolbox: Useful functions for shape the data and labels.
