視覚・熱カメラデータセットの公開とキャリブレーション不要のマルチモーダル位置合わせ

原文アブストラクト

This report accompanies a dataset release on visual and thermal camera data and details a procedure followed to align such multi-modal camera frames in order to provide pixel-level correspondence between the two without using intrinsic or extrinsic calibration information. To achieve this goal we benefit from progress in the domain of multi-modal image alignment and specifically employ the Mattes Mutual Information Metric to guide the registration process. In the released dataset we release both the raw visual and thermal camera data, as well as the aligned frames, alongside calibration parameters with the goal to better facilitate the investigation on common local/global features across such multi-modal image streams.
