CurveML: a benchmark for evaluating and training learning-based methods of classification, recognition, and fitting of plane curves

Abstract:

We propose CurveML, a benchmark for evaluating and comparing methods for the classification and identification of plane curves represented as point sets.

The dataset is composed of 520k curves, of which 280k are generated from specific families characterised by distinctive shapes, and 240k are obtained from Bézier or composite Bézier curves.

The dataset was generated starting from the parametric equations of the selected curves making it easily extensible. It is split into training, validation, and test sets to make it usable by learning-based methods, and it contains curves perturbed with different kinds of point set artefacts.

To evaluate the detection of curves in point sets, our benchmark includes various metrics with particular care on what concerns the classification and approximation accuracy.

Finally, we provide a comprehensive set of accompanying demonstrations, showcasing curve classification, and parameter regression tasks using both ResNet-based and PointNet-based networks.

These demonstrations encompass 14 experiments, with each network type comprising 7 runs: 1 for classification and 6 for regression of the 6 defining parameters of plane curves.

The corresponding Jupyter notebooks with training procedures, evaluations, and pre-trained models are also included for a thorough understanding of the methodologies employed.
