Multipoint Measuring System for Video and Sound - 100-camera and microphone system

We developed a novel multipoint measurement system capable of acquiring video and sound at more than 100 points in a "synchronized" manner. In this paper, we first describe the specification of the system and how the system works in detail. Then we report some experimental results that confirm the performance of the system. We also describe test data set we provided for MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group) Multi-viewpoint Video Coding activities. Using this system, we are planning to conduct projects to measure humans and their activities, collect a large volume of real-world data of video and sound, and release them to the public.
