VSAM Data Sets

  

April 1997, NIST Dataset

A calibrated, ground-based dataset available from NIST, aimed towards static site model construction from video data. Views of static buildings, as the observer drives around them. There appear to be with no moving people/vehicles/animals etc. We would be interested in hearing people's opinions about the format of the data, namely camera pose information embedded on top of the image, to take into consideration when planning VSAM-related data collections.

March 1997, Bushy Run Data Collection 1

A one-hour tape of ground-based sensor views of human/vehicular activities at Bushy Run is available. These include a single car doing laps, multiple cars doing laps and "interfering" with each other, people walking, running, and following each other, someone loitering in front of a building, a suspicious character trying the doors and windows of a locked building, a couple of different briefcase handoffs, and more!

March 1997, Predator Data Collection 1

Procedure: A collection of 8mm tape masters from the Predator JPO were scanned for content by Steve Hennessy (Steve's review log). Interesting tapes were then exhaustively reviewed by Bob Collins at CMU (Bob's review log). The best bits were edited into a 1-hour video summary on VHS tape (table of contents). Several minutes of very interesting stuff was digitized from the masters by Alan Lipton and Bob Collins, and is available in uncompressed format on CDROM. Below are MPEG compressed versions of the digitized data, available for downloading.
