NIGEL includes sequences from two local locations, the University of Alabama campus (CAMPUS) and private forested property (FOREST). Each location contains data captured at three different times of day - 2 PM (AFTERNOON), 6PM (EVENING), 12 AM (MIDNIGHT) to increase scene diversity including lighting condition and thermal scene range. Furthermore, calibration sequences are also provided if users want to perform their own calibrations.
