This directory tree contains image collections for computer vision
    and image processing research.

    Our image archive collections are stored in our own image file
    format (.gil format).  This format is lossless-compressed by
    LZW applied to the pixel differences.  Our server is capable
    of converting our format to other desired formats: to obtain
    an image in your desired format, simply change the file extension
    according to the following table and the server will transform the
    data as it send it to you.  e.g.  To fetch mandrill.r.gil in
    raw format, use:
                ftp> cd MISC/mandrill
                ftp> get mandrill.r.raw

    The extensions that we can create for you are:

        .raw    Raw image data, 8-bit unsigned, stored in
                row-major order top-left pixel first.
        .hdr    An ASCII text file containing the header
                information of the image: bounds, aspect ratio,
                original source, etc.
        .ps     PostScript EPSF-2.0 file ready for inclusion
                in a document or for printing.


    Sub-directories:

    MISC: Collections of images available from other anonymous FTP sites,
          made available here in a consistent format.  Some collections
          have been topically merged.
