A High-angular-resolution Turntable Data-set for Experiments on Light Field Visualization Quality

In this paper, we present a high-angular-resolution data-set created using a turntable arrangement. Seven distinct objects, positioned on an automated turntable, were captured from three camera positions for every half degree of rotation, generating 720 images for each camera position. For each object, the camera positions were registered to the coordinate system of the middle camera. Intrinsic parameters of the camera were also estimated. A data-set of this kind is instrumental for research in a variety of areas, such as light field visualization, manifold learning, visual quality assessment, evaluation of preferred object orientation etc. Due to the availability of three-view stereo, this data-set could be useful for studying view interpolation techniques.
