  • Shi's Re-processed Version of the Gehler Color Constancy Dataset of 568 Images

    This dataset is based on work done by Dr. Lilong Shi at Simon Fraser University with Dr. Brian Funt. It involves processing the original RAW format images provided by Gehler et al. to generate a new set of high quality linear images. New ground truth illumination measurements are also provided for these images.

    The original dataset is described in Peter Gehler and Carsten Rother and Andrew Blake and Tom Minka and Toby Sharp, "Bayesian Color Constancy Revisited", Proceedings of the IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2008. The original Gehler dataset is available from here.

    We thank Dr. Peter Gehler for making his images publically available and for permission to post our new versions of them. The new SFU Shi version is available for download here.

    A total of 1,913 images are included in the 3 data sets. We manually labeled each of these images with its the 3D stages and its indoor/outdoor classification. Following Nedovic et al., the 15 typical 3D stages sky+bkg+grd, bkg+grd, sky+grd, grd, nodepth, grd+Tbkg(LR), grd+Tbkg(RL), Tbkg(LR), Tbkg(RL), tbl+Prs+bkg, 1sd+wall(LR), 1sd+wall(RL), corner, corridor, and prs+bkg are used. There are separate files in both Matlab (.mat) and plain text (.txt) formats containing the file name from the original data set, a 0/1 flag indicating indoor/outdoor, and a numerical stage value.

    The image labeling provided here has been used in a paper entitled, “Evaluating Combinational Illumination-Estimation Methods on Real-World Images,” by Bing Li, Weihua Xiong, Weiming Hu, Brian Funt. This paper is still under review (as of May 2012) and is not yet publically available. If you use the label sets we provide here, please contact one of the authors for information on how to cite the database.
