ACCP Image Dataset

The Active Control of Camera Parameter (ACCP) image dataset is created to evaluate the sensitivity to ambient environment and camera parameters of various object detection algorithms. It consists of 2240 images of 5 static objects, captured with different shutter speed and voltage gain, under various light conditions.

Joint Attention in Autonomous Driving (JAAD)

JAAD is a new dataset (by I. Kotseruba, A. Rasouli, J.K. Tsotsos) for studying joint attention in the context of autonomous driving. It contains an annotated collection of short video clips representing scenes typical for everyday urban driving in various weather conditions.

JAAD dataset contains 346 high-resolution video clips (most are 5-10 sec) extracted from approx. 240 hours of driving videos filmed in several locations in North America and Eastern Europe.

It is available at: http://data.nvision2.eecs.yorku.ca/JAAD_dataset/

  • Cardiac MR images acquired from 33 subjects. Each subject’s sequence consists of 20 frames and 8-15 slices along the long axis, for a total of 7980 images. The sequence corresponding to each subject x is in a distinct .mat (MATLAB) file named sol_yxzt_patx.mat. These are the raw, unprocessed images, that were originally stored as 16-bit DICOM images. DOWNLOAD

  • Segmentations of the above sequences. We have manually segmented each of the 7980 images where both the endocardium and epicardium of the left ventricle were visible, for a total of 5011 segmented MR images and 10022 contours. The segmentation corresponding to each subject x is in a distinct .mat (MATLAB) file named manual_seg_32points_patx.mat. Each contour is described by 32 points given in pixel coordinates. DOWNLOAD

  • Two small MATLAB functions for visualizing the segmentations on their corresponding images. Please see the included README file for examples of their use. DOWNLOAD

  • Metadata containing the pixel-spacing (mm per pixel), the spacing between slices along the long axis (mm per slice) of each subject’s sequence, each subject’s age and diagnosis. DOWNLOAD

Fixation Data and Code

Fixation data and code are available here: AIM.zip. The code written in MATLAB and includes a variety of learned ICA bases. Note that the code given  expects a relatively low resolution image as the receptive fields are  small, for a high resolution larger image, you may wish to try some larger receptive fields. Also, if you have any questions about the  code, feel free to ask. To use within matlab, you should be able to simply do something along the lines of: info = AIM(’21.jpg’,0.5); with  the parameter being a rescaling factor. It is also possible to vary a variety of parameters on both the command line and within the code  itself, so feel free to experiment. There are also some comments and  notes specific to psychophysics examples within one of the included  files.

Note that all of these bases should result in better performance than that based on the *very* small 7×7 filters used in the original NIPS paper. The eye tracking data may be found at eyetrackingdata.zip. This includes binary maps for each of the images which indicate which pixel locations were fixated in addition to the raw data.
