Raw images (photographs) of urban text scenes for camera-based Thai text recognition

Raw image collection of city scenes in Thailand with text content. Text is photographed from diffeent angles. Also morning and evening photographs were taken in order to capture different lighting conditions. The material, 309 images, was photographed in 2013 by Bowornrat Sriman and volunteers. Example EXIF: JPEG image data, Exif standard: [TIFF image data, little-endian, direntries=13, height=2448, manufacturer=SAMSUNG, model=GT-I9300, orientation=upper-right, xresolution=220, yresolution=228, resolutionunit=2, software=I9300XXEMA2, datetime=2013:03:14 18:17:49, GPS-Data, width=3264], baseline, precision 8, 3264x2448, frames 3 The images are not labeled. The orientation (landscape/portrait) is not corrected yet. This material was used in preparation of the publication: Sriman, B. & Schomaker, L. (2015).
