Car images

We collected around 250 images of cars (figure 4.1 on page ) but we could only re-use around 100 of them since not all images were suitable for car make recognition (e.g. bad resolution, unique cars we cannot match against its peer, etc). These were shot using small digital compact camera by hand in the north of the Czech Rebublic on road E65. Images were taken in various confitions: at dusk, dawn, during bright clear days and overcast conditions. Metal surfaces of cars are smooth and highly reflective. The lens zoom was not fixed so a perspective distortion is present in all photos (focal length between 20mm-105mm) . In-plane rotation is between $0-10^{\circ}$. The original image size was 1600 pixels in width and 1200 pixels in height. We classifed into the following makes: Octavie, Opel, Opel2, Skoda 120, Felicie, Skoda 105, Favorit2, Fiat Uno, Favorit, Fabie.
