New VR180 Dataset Released with Professional Camera Footage

Researchers have released a new dataset for stereo VR180 video, captured using professional Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive cameras. This dataset includes over 1,200 samples of video clips and stills, provided in native Blackmagic RAW format, along with separate-eye fisheye and half-equirectangular HEVC versions. The release also features lens calibration data, conversion tools, and AI-generated annotations, offering a more authentic resource for VR180 research compared to existing platform-sourced data. AI

IMPACT Provides a new, high-quality dataset for research in immersive video technologies, potentially improving AI models for video processing and rendering.
