In this talk I present the project of the virtual reconstruction of Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics (MPII) building in Saarbruecken. The resulting geometric, reflectance, and illuminaire data can be used for various research activities including computer graphics, computational and algorithmic geometry, computer vision, databases, etc. A significant advantage of this data set is the availability and accessibility of the real building as a reference for other data acquisitions and validations. The resulting data set will be provided for public non-commercial research purposes to facilitate the research advancement of algorithms working with the real data sets. The level of detail of the building model goes up to the furniture installed in the building. The total model complexity is tens of millions of triangles. We describe our effort to create this data set, the problems we had met during the project, and show the example images rendered by several algorithms. We also briefly mention the possible algorithmic challenges for this data set.
