• [ArXiv]
• [CVPR]

The preview of our dataset is as follows.

• Sensor: A synchronized system containing one binocular optical camera and one binocular infrared sensor. More details are available in the paper.

• Main scene:

  • Campus of Dalian University of Technology.
  • State Tourism Holiday Resort at the Golden Stone Beach in Dalian, China.
  • Main roads in Jinzhou District, Dalian, China.

• Total number of images:

  • 8400 (for fusion, detection and fused-based detection)
  • 600 (independent scene for fusion)

• Total number of image pairs:

  • 4200 (for fusion, detection and fused-based detection)
  • 300 (independent scene for fusion)

• Image size: 1024 x 768 pixels (mostly)

• Registration: All image pairs are registered. The visible images are calibrated by using the internal parameters of our synchronized system, and the infrared images are artificially distorted by homography matrix.

• Labeling: 34407 labels have been manually labeled, containing 6 kinds of targets: {People, Car, Bus, Motorcycle, Lamp, Truck}. (Limited by manpower, some targets may be mismarked or missed. We would appreciate if you would point out wrong or missing labels to help us improve the dataset)

You can try our method online (free) in Colab.

We recommend you to use the conda management environment.

conda create -n tardal python=3.8
conda activate tardal
pip install -r requirements.txt

We offer three pre-trained models.

python fuse.py --src data/sample/s1 --dst runs/sample/tardal --weights weights/tardal.pt --color
python fuse.py --src data/sample/s1 --dst runs/sample/tardal+ --weights weights/tardal+.pt --color --eval
python fuse.py --src data/sample/s1 --dst runs/sample/tardal++ --weights weights/tardal++.pt --color --eval

--color will colorize the fused images with corresponding visible color space.

If you have any question about the code, please email to Zhanbo Huang.
