Thermal Imaging Datasets
Thermal Imaging Datasets
You can find some public thermal imaging datasets available from our group. These include:
C3I THERMAL AUTOMOTIVE DATASET
An annotated dataset available via IEEE Dataports.
The C3I Thermal Automotive Dataset provides > 35,000 distinct frames along with annotated thermal frames for the development of smart thermal perception system/ object detection system that will enable the automotive industry and researchers to develop safer and more efficient ADAS and self-driving car systems. The overall dataset is acquired, processed, and open-sourced in challenging weather and environmental scenarios. The dataset is recorded from a lost-cost yet effective 640x480 uncooled LWIR thermal camera. The dataset is gathered by mounting the camera stand-alone and on an electric vehicle to minimize mechanical vibrations.
