The FAUST dataset wins the "Dataset Award" at the Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2016. The award encourages and recognises the importance of the distribution of high-quality datasets on which geometry processing algorithms are tested.
The dataset orginally appeared here
Bogo, Federica and Romero, Javier and Loper, Matthew and Black, Michael J., FAUST: Dataset and evaluation for 3D mesh registration, Proceedings IEEE Conf. on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 3794-3801, June 2014.
FAUST contains 300 real, high-resolution human scans of 10 different subjects in 30 different poses, with automatically computed ground-truth correspondences. Each scan is a high-resolution, triangulated, non-watertight mesh acquired with a 3D multi-stereo system. FAUST is subdivided into a training and a test set and provides an on-line evaluation benchmark.

The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is the premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are studied and applied to offer new insights and design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections.
