A curated list of resources including papers, datasets, and relevant links pertaining to object placement, which aims to learn plausible **spatial transformation** (e.g., shifting, scaling, affine transformation, perspective transformation) for the inserted foreground object in a composite image considering geometric and semantic information. The simplest case is finding reasonable **location and scale** for the foreground object. For more complete resources on general image composition ([object insertion](https://github.com/bcmi/Awesome-Object-Insertion)), please refer to [Awesome-Image-Composition](https://github.com/bcmi/Awesome-Object-Insertion).

We can define three levels of tasks for object placement. (1) Level 1: given a composite image, verify whether the foreground placement is reasonable. (2) Level 2: given a pair of foreground and background, generate one composite image with reasonable foreground placement. (3) Level 3: given a pair of foreground and background, generate all composite images with reasonable foreground placement.

The training (resp., test) set contains 21,376 (resp.,3,588) positive samples and 40,698 (resp., 7,808) negative samples. Besides, the training (resp., test) set contains 2,701 (resp., 1,436) unrepeated foreground objects and1,236 (resp., 153) unrepeated background images.
