The TNO Multiband Image Data Collection

Despite of the ongoing interest in the fusion of multi-band images for surveillance applications and a steady stream of publications in this area, there is only a very small number of static registered multi-band test images (and a total lack of dynamic image sequences) publicly available for the development and evaluation of image fusion algorithms. To fill this gap, the TNO Multiband Image Collection provides intensified visual (390â700 nm), near-infrared (700â1000 nm), and longwave infrared (8â12 µm) nighttime imagery of different military and surveillance scenarios, showing different objects and targets (e.g., people, vehicles) in a range of different (e.g., rural, urban) backgrounds. The dataset will be useful for the development of static and dynamic image fusion algorithms, color fusion algorithms, multispectral target detection and recognition algorithms, and dim target detection algorithms.
