Cross-Camera View-Overlap Recognition

Data accompanying the paper titled <em>Cross-Camera View-Overlap Recognition</em>, published in the proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision Workshop and presented used for the evaluation of the framework presented in the publication. The dataset consists of image sequence pairs from four scenarios: two scenarios that were collected with both hand-held and chest-mounted cameras – <em>gate</em> and <em>backyard</em> of four sequences each – and two publicly available datasets – TUM-RGB-D SLAM and <em>courtyard</em> from CoSLAM – for a total of ∼28,000 frames (∼25 minutes). The data consisting of images, annotations, and scripts to process existing public sequences. Image sequences are provided for the collected scenarios <em>gate</em> and <em>backyard</em>. We sub-sampled <em>backyard</em> from 30 to 10 fps for annotation purposes. Image sequences for the scenario <em>office</em> can be found at TUM RGB-D SLAM (fr1_desk, fr1_desk2, fr1_room). Scripts to process these sequences as used in the work are provided. The <em>courtyard</em> scenario consists of four sequences. We sub-sampled courtyard from 50 to 25 fps for annotation purposes. Original sequences are available at CoSLAM project website. For all scenarios, we provide i) the annotation of angular distances, Euclidean distances, and overlap ratio of each view pair across camera sequences; ii) the annotation of the calibration (intrinsic) parameters; and iii) the annotation of the camera poses over time for each camera sequence, as automatically reconstructed with the structure-from-motion pipeline, COLMAP, or exploiting the depth data for the <em>office</em> scenario. Camera poses are saved as .txt file for each sequence using the KITTI format. The pose of each frame is represented as a 3x4 matrix (12 parameters) that is converted into a vector by horizontally concatenating the rows of the matrix:<br> [r11 r12 r13 tx<br> r21 r22 r23 ty =&gt; [r11 r12 r13 tx r21 r22 r23 ty r31 r32 r33 tz]<br> r31 r32 r33 tz] Values of the parameters are saved in 6 digit floating point numbers as exponential notation. Along with the dataset, we also provide the global features computed by using DeepBit [code] and NetVLAD [code] for each image of all camera sequences. If you use the data, please cite:<br> <br> A.
