Visual paths
We define a “visual path” as the video sequence captured by a moving person in executing a journey along a particular physical path.
RSM dataset details
- 60 videos
- 6 corridors
- 3.05 km
- 10 total passes/corridor
- 5 passes/corridor with Nexus 4 @1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, 24-30 fps
- 5 passes/corridor with Google Glass @ 1280 x 720, 30 fps
- 90, 302 frames with positional ground-truth
Table 1 summarizes the acquisition. As can be seen, the length of the sequences varies within some corridors, due to a combination of different walking speeds and/or different frame rates. Lighting also varied, due to a combination of daylight/night-time acquisitions, and occasional prominent windows that represent strong lighting sources in certain parts of some corridors. Differences were also observable in some videos from one pass to another, due to the presence of activities (such as cleaning, shifting of furniture) and the occasional appearance of people.
