Tedla, Lee, Yang, Afifi & Brown
502 image quadruplets (2,008 raw images)
28 scenes, paired RGB and multispectral cameras

Paired RGB and multispectral (MS) mosaiced images captured with a dual-camera setup, with ground-truth demosaiced outputs, for training and evaluating RGB-guided multispectral demosaicing.

Hard Demosaicing Dataset (HDD)

Tedla, Punnappurath, Zhao & Brown
638 RAW images
17 scenes, ~204,000 annotated hard patches

RAW images of hand-crafted scenes full of high-frequency detail that is difficult to demosaic, with annotated patches for training, validation and testing joint demosaicing and denoising on Single-, Quad- and Nona-Bayer sensors.

Autoexposure Dataset & Evaluation Platform

ICCV 2023
Tedla, Yang & Brown
36,000 images
9 dynamic scenes, 100 time steps × 40 exposures each

A 4D dataset that records the complete range of possible exposures over time for challenging dynamic scenes, with a software platform for repeatable evaluation of autoexposure algorithms.

Mixed-Illuminant White-Balance Test Set

WACV 2022
Afifi, Brubaker & Brown
150 rendered mixed-illuminant test images with ground truth

Test images of scenes lit by multiple light sources, for evaluating white-balance correction in mixed-illuminant conditions.

Dual-Pixel View Synthesis Dataset

WACV 2022
Abuolaim, Afifi & Brown
7,059 dual-pixel images

High-quality dual-pixel captures for learning to synthesize the two dual-pixel sub-aperture views from a single image, used to improve single-image defocus deblurring through multi-task learning.

Two-Camera Illuminant Estimation Dataset

CVPR 2021
Abdelhamed, Punnappurath & Brown
156 raw image pairs
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

Raw image pairs captured at the same time with the main and wide-angle cameras, with colour-chart illuminant ground truth, for illuminant estimation that exploits multiple smartphone cameras.

Exposure Correction Dataset

CVPR 2021
Afifi, Derpanis, Ommer & Brown
24,330 sRGB images
5 exposure settings (−1.5 to +1.5 EV)

Images rendered from the MIT-Adobe FiveK raw images, pairing under- and overexposed versions with expert-retouched references.

Dual-Pixel Defocus Deblurring Dataset (DPDD)

ECCV 2020
Abuolaim, Punnappurath & Brown
2,000 images
500 scenes

Each scene has a defocused wide-aperture image, its two dual-pixel sub-aperture views, and the corresponding all-in-focus image. A widely used benchmark for dual-pixel and single-image defocus deblurring.

Deblurring

Rendered WB Dataset

CVPR 2019

Raw-to-Raw Multi-Camera Dataset

CVPR 2014
Nguyen, Prasad & Brown
250+ raw images
8 cameras

Aligned images of the same scenes from different cameras, with colour-chart calibration images, for studying how raw colour responses differ between sensors and how to map between them.

Software & Platforms

Simple Camera Pipeline

CVPR 2018
