Datasets and Challenges

The following datasets are not very well known and were featured on Nuit Blanche at some point in time:

• The Nuit Blanche Viewership Dataset
• Ben's Chicken challenge
• The Curiosity Super-Resolution Challenge
• Leonardo's Challenge: can you reconstruct a 3D view of this 65 million years old dinosaur ?
• A Breast CT Phantom Benchmark features an example of phantom useful for imaging microcalsification of importance in breast cancer.
• CS: Is HIFT an instance of Imaging With Nature ? The data is available.: Data featuring sound pulses traveling half the globe.
• FROG Spectrogram data.
• Ghost Imaging data
• Subsurface Data
• The Gotcha SAR Dataset: A SAR dataset.
• HASP GEOCAM data: 4 GB of pictures taken from a high altitude balloon at 120,000 feet for more than 8 hours.
• CASSI Experimental Data (CS)
• Single pixel Camera data (CS)

There are also a suite of competition and challenges that might be of interest to somebody involved in using compressive sensing:

• The Spectrum Recovery Competition 2011 ends July 14th, 2011.
• The Great10 challenge (a simulation challenge that aims to improve image analysis algorithms for cosmic gravitational lensing. You are invited to participate in the Galaxy Challenge and the Star Challenge)
