This is an incomplete list of datasets which were captured using a Kinect or similar devices. I initially began it to keep track of semantically labelled datasets, but I have now also included some camera tracking and object pose estimation datasets. I ultimately aim to keep track of all Kinect-style datasets available for researchers to use.
Where possible links have been added to project or personal pages. Where I have not been able to find these I have used a direct link to the data
Please send suggestions for additions and corrections to me at m.firman <at> cs.ucl.ac.uk.
