FLIR releases thermal ima
machine vision testing
FLIR Systems has announced the availability of its first European
thermal imaging regional dataset and the third in a series of
thermal imaging datasets for machine vision testing. Designed
to help researchers, developers and auto manufacturers enhance
and accelerate work on safety, advanced driver assistance-systems
(ADAS), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and autonomous
vehicle (AV) systems, the dataset features thousands of annotated
thermal images of daytime, nighttime and various weather scenarios
from six cities across Europe.
The new European regional dataset includes image annotations
captured in London (England), Paris (France), Madrid, Toledo,
Granada and Malaga (Spain). Collected with FLIR thermal and RGB
cameras to identify various attributes of city landscapes, the dataset
contains a total of 3,895 annotated thermal images to increase
testing and evolving convolutional neural networks (CNN).
The images were taken in a variety of driving environments in each
city, including various lighting and weather conditions. Similar to
the previously released thermal imaging datasets for San Francisco,
California and Santa Barbara, California, the European dataset
includes image annotations for cars, other vehicles types, people,
bicycles and signs.
