Dataset Examples

System Description

We keep upgrading our system. Currently our system has the following hardware setup:

• 480 VGA cameras, 640 x 480 resolution, 25 fps, synchronized among themselves using a hardware clock
• 31 HD cameras, 1920 x 1080 resolution, 30 fps, synchronized among themselves using a hardware clock, timing aligned with VGA cameras
• 10 Kinect Ⅱ Sensors. 1920 x 1080 (RGB), 512 x 424 (depth), 30 fps, timing aligned among themselves and other sensors
• 5 DLP Projectors. synchronized with HD cameras

The following figure shows the dimension of our system.
