Description

This data set aims at providing researchers with video sequences for developing and testing algorithms designed for fisheye data.
Both synthetic sequences generated in Blender as well as real-world sequences captured with an actual fisheye camera are provided.

The field of view is 185° for all sequences; the focal length is 1.8 mm.
Further details on both setup and settings as well as on the sequence characteristics may be found in the corresponding ICASSP 2016 publication (posted above).

Synthetic sequences

Currently, only equisolid fisheye sequences are provided in PNG format (8 bit, RGBA). In the future, the synthetic sequences might be extended by equidistant (ED) fisheye versions.
To save storage space, the synthetic sequences have been compressed in a lossless manner using OptiPNG.
