Abstract

In this report we describe the MPI Informatics building model that provides the data of the Max-Planck-Institut f\"{u}r Informatik (MPII) building. We present our motivation for this work and its relationship to reproducibility of a scientific research. We describe the dataset acquisition and creation including geometry, luminaires, surface reflectances, reference photographs etc. needed to use this model in testing of algorithms. The created dataset can be used in computer graphics and beyond, in particular in global illumination algorithms with focus on realistic and predictive image synthesis. Outside of computer graphics, it can be used as general source of real world geometry with an existing counterpart and hence also suitable for computer vision.
