Stool

Example image

Example image with labeled edges

 

Number Of Images:   Total of 8201 images taken in 3 rooms: A401 (4423), A408 (2202), SH201 (1574)

Image Size:   360 x 240

Comments:    These images are frames from a set of videos taken of a bar stool in a set of office rooms on a handheld Sony camcorder.  The location of the stool in each frame is demarcated by a set of polygons.  To label the location of the stool over an entire video, we initialized a set of polygons to cover the stool as it appeared in the first frame of the video—one polygon per leg, cross-brace, and seat of the stool.  We then applied a 2-frame multiresolution Lucas-Kanade optical flow estimator (cvCalcOpticalFlowPyrLK in the OpenCV library) to estimate pixel flows between frames, and estimated polygon motion based on the flows.  Polygon positions were manually adjusted at points of tracking failure.  We followed this procedure for a total of 29 videos shot in 3 rooms: A401 (20 videos), A408 (3 videos), and SH201 (2 videos).  In each video, the cameraman keeps the stool in view and translates and rotates around the stool.  This large image set allows the investigation of challenging problems: some of the images are blurry, the stool changes scale significantly, and the change in background between rooms is significant.  Besides providing a large data set for wiry object recognition, this image set provides benchmark data for a problem area that (to my knowledge) has yet to be addressed: tracking complex-shaped wiry non-human objects.
