Multi-channel Near Infrared Tof Response Images of Five Materials

Conventionally, the texture of the object is used for material imaging. However, this method can mistake an image of an object, tothe object itself. This dataset furthers a new and more relevant method to classify the material of an object. This data is richer, compared to RGB images, because the time of flight responses correlate with the material property of an object. This makes the features, thus extracted, more suitable to infer the material information. It provides near-infrared Time of Flight response images of objects from 10 different distances ranging from 40cm to 60cm and at 7 different orientations ranging from -30 degrees to + 30 degrees. This dataset contains images of five different objects, where each image contains only one object, and each object is made of unique materials. The five materials are Melamine Panel, Polystyrene, Bubble Wrap, Paper and Wax. The images are acquired using a Photonic Mixer Device (PMD) Selene module. PMD Selene module is a low-power multifrequency time of flight camera. The images are acquired in a near-dark room to avoid the ambient light interference.
