We introduce the first publicly available test dataset for outdoor handheld
camera localization comprising over 45,000 real camera images of an urban
environment captured under natural camera motions and different illumination
settings. For all these images the dataset not only contains readings of the
sensors attached to the camera, but also ground truth information on the
geometry and texture of the environment and the full 6DoF ground truth camera
pose. This poster describes the extensive process of creating this
comprehensive dataset that we have made available to the public. We hope this
not only enables researchers to objectively evaluate their camera
localization and tracking algorithms and frameworks on realistic data but
also stimulates further research.
