OSU (MSU/WSU) Range Image Database
Work on this database began in 1989 in the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing
Laboratory at Michigan State University. It was hosted and expanded in the Imaging Research Laboratory at Washington State
University from 1991-1998. It is now hosted in the
Signal Analysis and Machine Perception Laboratory
at The Ohio State University, where it continues to expand.
The database contains images from several real range sensors, plus synthetic data.
The 3D models used to synthesize imagery, and code to create those images, is
available from the OSU 3D Database, of which this database is
a subset.
Images are available in one or both of the following formats:
- grayscale GIF, and
- a compressed neutral format (aka '.txt' format) with fixed-point measurements in X, Y,
and Z.
Here is a short description of the .txt format (Note: .txt
files are large).
The GIFs are much smaller than the .txt format, but the measurements in X, Y, and Z
(which you can get from the row, column, and value) are not as precise as in the .txt
formatted files (too imprecise for most uses).
