Natural Scenes Datasets for Exploration In 6DOF Navigation

Abstract

Depth Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) and 6 Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) navigation are actually very active fields for immersive video, where the availability of common test conditions is mandatory to compare results. For this purpose, we propose different datasets to evaluate a wide range of tools needed by free navigation: a high-density HD image set, composed of 80k camera positions covering the entire 3D space, necessary to simulate all the head rotations and translations of a common user, and a UHD video set, composed of two sequences acquired with 3 by 5 cameras array. All the processing pipeline to obtain quality results is also detailed.
