Papers with UnrealCV

A curated list of papers using UnrealCV.

This is a list of papers that use UnrealCV, an open source project to help researchers build virtual worlds using Unreal Engine 4. The papers are categorized by their applications, such as semantic understanding, 3D vision, embodied vision, etc.

The following labels are used to indicate the usage of UnrealCV in each paper:

  • πŸ“ŠDataset: generate synthetic dataset for training.
  • πŸ”Diagnosis: control the factor for model diagnosis.
  • πŸƒInteraction: train/test agent(s) by interacting with the virtual worlds (e.g., RL).
