Datasets

This page provides publicly available benchmark datasets for testing and evaluating detection and tracking algorithms. The datasets are free for research and educational purposes only and can be used in scientific publications at the condition of respecting the requested citation acknowledgment.

 

i-Lids bag and vehicle detection challenge 

This is a dataset for event detection in CCTV footage and is
a sub-set of the i-Lids dataset. The events of interest appearing in the dataset are abandoned baggage (Task 1) and parked vehicle (Task 2). The description of the tasks can be found here. Please refer to the description of the i-Lids bag and vehicle detection challenge for the submission procedure.

Audiovisual people dataset 

This is a dataset for uni-modal and multi-modal (audio and visual) people detection tracking. The dataset consists of three sequences recorded in different scenarios with a video camera and a two microphones. Two sequences (motinas_Room160 and motinas_Room105) are recorded in rooms with reverberations. The third sequence (motinas_Chamber) is recorded in a room with reduced reverberations.

Sensor details
- The camera is placed in the centre of a bar that supports two microphones
- Distance between the microphones: 95 cm
- Microphones: Beyerdynamic MCE 530 condenser microphones
- Camera: KOBI KF-31CD analog CCD surveillance camera

- Format of images: 8-bit color AVI
- Image size: 360 x 288 pixels
- Video sampling rate: 25 Hz
- Audio sampling rate: 44.1 kHz

Ground truth
The ground truth data are provided together with the sequences in the corresponding .zip file, as list of XML files representing the positions of the objects in the field of view.

Single face dataset

This is a dataset for single person/face visual detection and tracking. The dataset is composed of five sequences with different illumination conditions and resolutions. Three sequences (motinas_toni, motinas_toni_change_ill and motinas_nikola_dark) are shot with a hand held camera (JVC GR-20EK). In motinas_toni the target moves under a constant bright illumination; in motinas_toni_change_ill the illumination changes from dark to bright; the sequence motinas_nikola_dark is constantly dark. Two sequences (motinas_emilio_webcam and motinas_emilio_webcam_turning) are shot with a webcam (Logitech Quickcam) under a fairly constant illumination.

Data details
-
Location of recording: Department of Electronic Engineering - Queen Mary, University of London  
- Number of sequences: 5
- Total number of images: 3018 
- Format of images: DivX 6 compression
- Image size and sampling rate:
640 x 480 pixels,  25 Hz (motinas_toni, motinas_toni_change_ill, motinas_nikola_dark
- Image size and sampling rate: 320 x 240 pixels, 10 Hz (motinas_emilio_webcam and motinas_emilio_webcam_turning) 

Target initialization
The target initialization parameters (the parameters of an ellipse around the face) are provided in the .zip files together with the sequences.

Ground truth
The ground truth data is available in the .zip files for the sequences motinas_toni and motinas_emilio_webcam. In the ground truth files each line of text describes the objects' position and size in a frame. The syntax of a line is the following:
f
rame  number_of_objects  obj_1_name  x  y  half_width  half_height  angle  obj_2_name  x  y  half_width  half_height  angle ...
Example: first line of a ground truth file in the single object case:
 
1  1  man  172  77  29  36  -5

Multiple faces dataset

This is a dataset for multiple people/faces visual detection and tracking. The dataset is composed of 3 sequences (same scenario); 4 targets repeatedly occlude each other while appearing and disappearing from the field of view of the camera. The sequence motinas_multi_face_frontal shows frontal faces only; in motinas_multi_face_turning the faces are frontal and rotated; in motinas_multi_face_fast the targets move faster that in the previous two sequences.
