_DESCRIPTION = """
A simple rigid-body simulation based on the CLEVR dataset.
The scene consists of a randomly colored floor, four light sources, a camera, and between 
3 and 10 random objects.
The camera position is sampled randomly in a half-sphere shell around the scene
and always points at the origin.

The objects are randomly chosen from: 
 - one of eleven shapes ("cube", "cylinder", "sphere", "cone", "torus", "gear",
                         "torus_knot", "sponge", "spot", "teapot", "suzanne")
 - scaled uniformly between 0.7 and 1.4, 
 - have one of two materials [rubber, metal], 
 - a uniformly random hue

They are spawned without overlap in the region [(-5, -5, 1), (5, 5, 5)], and
initialized with a random velocity from the range [(-4, -4, 0), (4, 4, 0)] 
minus the position of the object to bias their trajectory towards the center of
the scene.

The scene is simulated for 2 seconds, with the physical properties of the 
objects depending on the material:
 - metal: friction=0.4, restitution=0.3, density=2.7
 - rubber: friction=0.8, restitution=0.7, density=1.1
 
The dataset contains approx 10k videos rendered at 256x256 pixels and 12fps.

Each sample contains the following video-format data: 
(s: sequence length, h: height, w: width)

- "video": (s, h, w, 3) [uint8]  
  The RGB frames.  
- "segmentations": (s, h, w, 1) [uint8]
  Instance segmentation as per-pixel object-id with background=0. 
  Note: because of this the instance IDs used here are one higher than their
  corresponding index in sample["instances"]. 
- "depth": (s, h, w, 1) [uint16]
  Distance of each pixel from the center of the camera.
  (Note this is different from the z-value sometimes used, which measures the 
  distance to the camera *plane*.)
  The values are stored as uint16 and span the range specified in 
  sample["metadata"]["depth_range"]. To convert them back to world-units 
  use:  
    minv, maxv = sample["metadata"]["depth_range"]
    depth = sample["depth"] / 65535 * (maxv - minv) + minv
- "forward_flow": (s, h, w, 2) [uint16]
  Forward optical flow in the form (delta_row, delta_column).
  The values are stored as uint16 and span the range specified in 
  sample["metadata"]["forward_flow_range"]. To convert them back to pixels use:  
    minv, maxv = sample["metadata"]["forward_flow_range"]
    depth = sample["forward_flow"] / 65535 * (maxv - minv) + minv
- "backward_flow": (s, h, w, 2) [uint16]
  Backward optical flow in the form (delta_row, delta_column).
  The values are stored as uint16 and span the range specified in 
  sample["metadata"]["backward_flow_range"]. To convert them back to pixels use:  
    minv, maxv = sample["metadata"]["backward_flow_range"]
    depth = sample["backward_flow"] / 65535 * (maxv - minv) + minv
- "normal": (s, h, w, 3) [uint16]
  Surface normals for each pixel in world coordinates. 
- "object_coordinates": (s, h, w, 3) [uint16]
  Object coordinates encode the position of each point relative to the objects
  bounding box (i.e. back-left-top (X=Y=Z=1) corner is white, 
  while front-right-bottom (X=Y=Z=0) corner is black.)  

Additionally there is rich instance-level information in sample["instances"]:
- "mass": [float32]
  Mass of the object used for simulation.
- "friction": [float32]
  Friction coefficient used for simulation.
- "restitution": [float32]
  Restitution coefficient (bounciness) used for simulation.
- "positions": (s, 3) [float32]
  Position of the object for each frame in world-coordinates.
- "quaternions": (s, 4) [float32]
  Rotation of the object for each frame as quaternions.
- "velocities": (s, 3) [float32]
  Velocity of the object for each frame.
- "angular_velocities": (s, 3) [float32]
  Angular velocity of the object for each frame. 
- "bboxes_3d": (s, 8, 3) [float32]
  World-space corners of the 3D bounding box around the object.
- "image_positions": (s, 2) [float32]
  Normalized (0, 1) image-space (2D) coordinates of the center of mass of the 
  object for each frame. 
- "bboxes": (None, 4) [float32]
   The normalized image-space (2D) coordinates of the bounding box 
   [ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax] for all the frames in which the object is visible
   (as specified in bbox_frames).
- "bbox_frames": (None,) [int]
   A list of all the frames the object is visible. 
- "visibility": (s,) [uint16]
  Visibility of the object in number of pixels for each frame (can be 0).
- "shape_label": ["cube", "cylinder", "sphere", "cone", "torus", "gear",
                  "torus_knot", "sponge", "spot", "teapot", "suzanne"]
- "scale": float between 0.7 and 1.4
- "color": (3,) [float32]
  Color of the object in RGB.
- "material_label": ["metal", "rubber"]

Information about the camera in sample["camera"] 
(given for each frame eventhough the camera is static, so as to stay 
consistent with other variants of the dataset):

- "focal_length": [float32]
- "sensor_width": [float32]
- "field_of_view": [float32]
- "positions": (s, 3) [float32]
- "quaternions": (s, 4) [float32]

A single entry about the background:
- "background_color": (3,) [float32]


And finally information about collision events in sample["events"]["collisions"]:

- "instances": (2,)[uint16]
  Indices of the two instance between which the collision happened. 
  Note that collisions with the floor/background objects are marked with 65535
- "frame": tf.int32,
  Frame in which the collision happenend.
- "force": tf.float32,
  The force (strength) of the collision.
- "position": tfds.features.Tensor(shape=(3,), dtype=tf.float32),
  Position of the collision event in 3D world coordinates.
- "image_position": tfds.features.Tensor(shape=(2,), dtype=tf.float32),
  Position of the collision event projected onto normalized 2D image coordinates.
- "contact_normal": tfds.features.Tensor(shape=(3,), dtype=tf.float32),
  The normal-vector of the contact (direction of the force).
