Creation of dataset:

A public dataset is created to measure and verify the performance of our methodology. In this dataset, we measure the light position and angle relative to the Kinect scenes. The dataset contains multiple different scenes recorded by the Kinect, where we have known positions of the light sources, the scene surface points and registered colour data. This dataset will be made publicly available after the publication.

The actual dataset contains 6 different scenarios with a total number of 17 different light positions. It makes a total of 23 experiments where we have tested our method. Each experiment is composed by the pointcloud of the scene in PLY format and the RGB image captured using the Kinect sensor. The pointcloud file in PLY format contains the position of the points in the scene, the estimated normals and the color information for every point. This files can be easily readed using the PointCloud library (PCL)
