Abstract:
This paper introduces into seven real-world road driving
stereo sequences (provided by Daimler AG, Germany; now freely available
for academic research); it also informs about their use for performance
evaluation in some experiments using common stereo and motion
analysis algorithms. Often, such algorithms are tested on a few frames
only, or on synthetic sequences, but not on long real-world sequences.
The provided sequences have 250 to 300 stereo pairs each; they have
been used at Daimler AG for testing 6D vision, which fuses disparity
and motion data (by using a Kalman filter). In this paper we introduce
into those seven sequences (and inform about the download web site);
we discuss a few approaches how to use those sequences for testing either
stereo or motion algorithms, or both combined together. Certainly,
those sequences do have many more potentials for future performance
evaluations for stereo and motion analysis algorithms.
