[visionlist] McGill calibrated color image database (and hosting offer)

[Paul Ivanov]

Vision Scientists,

I wanted to bring to your attention the availability of a mirror
of the McGill calibrated color image database at the following
url:

http://pirsquared.org/research/mcgilldb/

The original server (http://tabby.vision.mcgill.ca/) is currently
down, and Fred Kingdom welcomed the establishment of a mirror.

Fred informed me that the citation for this database should be:
Olmos, A., Kingdom, F. A. A. (2004), A biologically inspired
algorithm for the recovery of shading and reflectance images,
Perception, 33, 1463 - 1473. 

Additionally, in the spirit of digital artifact preservation, I
want to offer free hosting (primary or as a mirror) for any other
vision-related datasets. I've hosted a copy of Hans van Hateren's
still image database since that server went down last February,
and in doing so have happily served ~900 GB of data.

best,
--
