What is the purpose of the Shape Repository?
The repository is primarily meant to facilitate the research process. For developing new algorithms, it is important to have a number of small and easily manageable shapes that cover all necessary test scenarios. This enables an efficient prototyping as well as a first proof of concepts. On the other hand, for practical evaluation, real-world or large-scale benchmarks have to be considered. The Shape Repository provides digital shapes of varying complexity for any of these purposes.
