[visionlist] McGill Calibrated Colour Image Database

[Adriana Olmos]

Subject: McGill Calibrated Colour Image Database

This is a new database that provides a large number of colour images of 
natural scenes, calibrated, if required, for use in biological and 
computer vision research. The images can be viewed and downloaded from 
a user-friendly website.

The images were taken with a digital camera, and Matlab routines are 
provided to correct for the gamma-nonlinearity of the camera, and to 
convert the images from RGB to LMS (Long-, Middle- and 
Short-wavelength-sensitive cone response) format, if required.

So far we have over 700 images and are increasing the number each 
month. The images in the database are 786 X 576 pixels, scaled from the 
1920 X 2560 pixel originals.  The original images can be obtained on 
request.

The database website is: http://tabby.vision.mcgill.ca/

The database was created as an initiative of Fred Kingdom’s laboratory 
at McGill Vision Research. The cameras were calibrated at Bristol 
University with the help of Alejandro Parraga and Tom Troscianko.
