Image Sensor Data Base for the DARPA ALV (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Autonomous Land Vehicle) Program

Abstract

This report describes the acquisition of imaging sensor data for the DARPA Autonomous Land Vehicle (ALV) Program. Data were acquired during four seasonal measurement periods from September 1984 through June 1986 at the Martin Marietta ALV Test Site near Denver Colorado. Passive Multispectral, 3-D Imaging, and color TV sensors were installed on an instrumented van and operated over road networks and various fixed locations at the Martin site. The report presents the specifications for the sensors and describes each measurement period including site locations on map overlays. Data format for the sensors is described and field logs are included as appendices.
