TriModal Face Detection Dataset – TMFD Dataset

TMFD Dataset addresses the lack of available depth and thermal face detection benchmarks. The corresponding depth and thermal data frames accompany each RGB image in the dataset. The dataset encompasses a wide range of variations. The samples include different numbers of people in the scene, different individuals, various types of backgrounds, varying distances of measurement, … Continue reading TriModal Face Detection Dataset – TMFD Dataset

HISTORIAN: a large-scale HISTORIcal film dataset with cinematographic ANnotation

Description Developing automated tools for sustainable film preservation of extensive historical film collections assumes an understanding of fundamental cinematographic settings. In order to be able to investigate new approaches to detect and classify cinematographic settings, this paper proposes a novel large-scale historical film dataset with cinematographic annotations (HISTORIAN), i.e., shot boundaries, shot types, camera movements. … Continue reading HISTORIAN: a large-scale HISTORIcal film dataset with cinematographic ANnotation

Event-based and frame-based binocular visual odometry system

The project focuses on Event Camera based Visual Odometry, mainly for robot localization. Unlike conventional frame cameras that output images based on a fixed frame rate, each pixel of an event camera independently detects relative changes in luminosity and outputs event data asynchronously. It has the advantage of high temporal accuracy, high pixel bandwidth, and … Continue reading Event-based and frame-based binocular visual odometry system

MIPT Dataset

Description Human behavioral analysis applications in the fields of ambient assisted living (AAL) and human security monitoring require continuous video analysis of individuals. Although intelligent systems deployed in these areas are intended to have a positive impact on the persons involved, subsequent continuous monitoring naturally raises ethical concerns and questions about privacy implications. To address these … Continue reading MIPT Dataset
