AIC Thermal/Visible Night-time Dataset


Examples of images from the dataset

Information
This dataset contains two video sequences: one in the visible spectrum and one in thermal infrared. Both are compressed into MPEG-1 format and contain 8702 frames each. The thermal sequence was captured using a Raytheon Control-IR 2000B camera, imaged at wavelengths between 7 and 14 microns. The visible spectrum camera was a Panasonic WV-CP470. The video scene contains bike-racks, pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. It was captured from a balcony in Dublin City University campus, Ireland. Thermally reflective glass was used as a beam-splitter. The thermal images were warped using a planar homography to align it with the visible spectrum images.

Feedback
It is always interesting for me to hear about other related work in data fusion, and any other uses that this data is put to. If you find this data useful, I would appreciate an email with a copy of your paper, or describing how it was useful to you. Mail me here: oconaire (at-symbol) gmail (dot) com.
