Roundabout Aerial Images for Vehicle Detection
<p><strong>If you use this dataset, please cite this paper: <em>Puertas, E.; De-Las-Heras, G.; Fernández-Andrés, J.; Sánchez-Soriano, J. Dataset: Roundabout Aerial Images for Vehicle Detection. Data 2022, 7, 47. https://doi.org/10.3390/data7040047 </em></strong></p> <p>This publication presents a dataset of Spanish roundabouts aerial images taken from an UAV, along with annotations in PASCAL VOC XML files that indicate the position of vehicles within them. Additionally, a CSV file is attached containing information related to the location and characteristics of the captured roundabouts. This work details the process followed to obtain them: image capture, processing and labeling. The dataset consists of 985,260 total instances: 947,400 cars, 19,596 cycles, 2,262 trucks, 7,008 buses and 2,208 empty roundabouts, in 61,896 1920x1080px JPG images. These are divided into 15,474 extracted images from 8 roundabouts with different traffic flows and 46,422 images created using data augmentation techniques. The purpose of this dataset is to help research on computer vision on the road, as such labeled images are not abundant. It can be used to train supervised learning models, such as convolutional neural networks, which are very popular in object detection.</p> <p> </p> <table align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Roundabout (scenes)</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Frames</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Car</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Truck</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Cycle</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Bus</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Empty</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>1 (00001)</p> </td> <td> <p>1,996</p> </td> <td> <p>34,558</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>4229</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>2 (00002)</p> </td> <td> <p>514</p> </td> <td> <p>743</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>157</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>3 (00003-00017)</p> </td> <td> <p>1,795</p> </td> <td> <p>4822</p> </td> <td> <p>58</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>4 (00018-00033)</p> </td> <td> <p>1,027</p> </td> <td> <p>6615</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>5 (00034-00049)</p> </td> <td> <p>1,261</p> </td> <td> <p>2248</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>550</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>81</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>6 (00050-00052)</p> </td> <td> <p>5,501</p> </td> <td> <p>180,342</p> </td> <td> <p>1420</p> </td> <td> <p>120</p> </td> <td> <p>1376</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>7 (00053)</p> </td> <td> <p>2,036</p> </td> <td> <p>5,789</p> </td> <td> <p>562</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>226</p> </td> <td> <p>92</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>8 (00054)</p> </td> <td> <p>1,344</p> </td> <td> <p>1,733</p> </td> <td> <p>222</p> </td> <td> <p>0</p> </td> <td> <p>150</p> </td> <td> <p>222</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Total</strong></p> </td> <td> <p>15,474</p> </td> <td> <p>236,850</p> </td> <td> <p>2,262</p> </td> <td> <p>4,899</p> </td> <td> <p>1,752</p> </td> <td> <p>552</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Data augmentation</strong></p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> <td> <p>x4</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Total</strong></p> </td> <td> <p>61,896</p> </td> <td> <p>947,400</p> </td> <td> <p>9048</p> </td> <td> <p>19,596</p> </td> <td> <p>7,008</p> </td> <td> <p>2,208</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Dataset of polygons with the contour of 900 juniper shrubs used to track shrub growth from 1977 to 2020 in Sierra Nevada (Spain) using very high resolution aerial and satellite RGB images.
<p><strong>This database provides as polygons the contours of 900 juniper shrubs (<em>Juniperus communis L.</em> and <em>Juniperus sabina L.</em>) along 5 decades (years 1977, 1984, 2001, 2010 and 2020). The contour of each of 900 shrubs manually mapped using the Google Satellite composite for the year 2020) was tracked back in time using orthophotos provided by REDIAM. Contours were obtained by manual annotation as polygon shapefiles in QGIS 3.10.3. Additionally, for the year 2020, the polygons were characterized with five attributes that gather ecological information: Morphotype (Hemispherical, Striped, Senescent, With rock), Presence of surrounding vegetation (Bare Soil, Surrounding Vegetation), Presence of nearby human land-uses (Surrounded by human facilities within 250 meters, Non-anthropized environment) Health status (as percentage of canopy cover with brown foliage: values between 0-5, where 0 corresponds to 100% photosynthetically active cover, decreasing the photosynthetically active cover until category 5 which corresponds to 100% damaged cover), and the subjective annotation certainty of the GIS technician (values between 0-5, where the value 0 corresponds to a very uncertain annotation up to the value 5 which corresponds to a fairly certain annotation). </strong></p>
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Image Dataset of the Built Environment for 3D reconstruction (UAVID3D)
<p>Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) provide increased access to unique types of urban imagery traditionally not available. Advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques when applied to UAV RGB image data can be used for automated extraction of building asset information and if applied to UAV thermal imagery data can detect potential thermal anomalies. However, these UAV datasets are not easily available to researchers, thereby creating a barrier to accelerating research in this area. </p> <p>To assist researchers with added data to develop machine learning algorithms, we present UAVID3D (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Image Dataset of the Built Environment for 3D reconstruction). The raw images for our dataset were recorded with a Zenmuse XT2 visual (RGB) and a FLIR Tau 2 (thermal, https://flir.netx.net/file/asset/15598/original/) camera on a DJI Mavic 2 pro drone (https://www.dji.com/matrice-200-series). The thermal camera is factory calibrated. All data is organized and structured to comply with FAIR principles, i.e. being findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. It is publicly available and can be downloaded from the Zenodo data repository. </p> <p>RGB images were recorded during UAV fly-overs of two different commercial buildings in Northern California. In addition, thermographic images were recorded during 2 subsequent UAV fly-overs of the same two buildings. UAV flights were recorded at flight heights between 60–80 m above ground with a flight speed of 1 m s and contain GPS information. All images were recorded during drone flights on May 10, 2021 between 8:45 am and 10:30 am and on May 19, 2021 between 2:15 pm and 4:30 pm. Outdoor air temperatures on these two days during the flights were between 78 and 83 degree fahrenheit and between 58 and 65 degree fahrenheit respectively. </p> <p>For the RGB flights, UAV path was planned and captured using an orbital flight plan in PIX4D capture at normal flight speed and overlap angle of 10 degree. Thermal images were captured by manual flights approximately 5 m away from each building facade. Due to the high overlap of images, similarities from feature points identified in each image can be extracted to conduct photogrammetry. Photogrammetry allows estimation of the three-dimensional coordinates of points on an object in a generated 3D space involving measurements made on images taken with a high overlap rate. Photogrammetry can be used to create a 3D point cloud model of the recorded region. UAVID3D dataset is a series of compressed archive files totaling 21GB. Useful pipelines to process these images can be found at these two repositories <a href="https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/a3dbr">https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/a3dbr</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/AutoBFE">https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/AutoBFE</a></p> <p>This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Program, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
Georectified Mosaic of Aerial Images of Baltimore City in 1953
Landscape analyses are typically done using spatially explicit color aerial imagery. However, working with non-spatial black and white historical aerial photographs presents several challenges that require a combination of techniques and approaches. We analyzed 113 aerial images covering approx. 700 km2 (270 mi2) including all of Baltimore City, and a portion of Baltimore County surrounding the City. The images were taken between August 23rd 1952 and February 14th 1953. High-resolution scans were georeferenced and georectified against modern satellite imagery of the area and then combined to create a single raster mosaic. This process converted the images from a disparate set of photographs into a spatially explicit GIS data set that can be used to observe changes in land patches over time—and ultimately integrated with other long-term social, economic, and ecological data.
AIDER (Aerial Image Dataset for Emergency Response Applications)
<p><strong>AIDER </strong>(<strong>A</strong>erial <strong>I</strong>mage <strong>D</strong>ataset for <strong>E</strong>mergency <strong>R</strong>esponse applications): The dataset construction involved manually collecting all images for four disaster events, namely Fire/Smoke, Flood, Collapsed Building/Rubble, and Traffic Accidents, as well as one class for the Normal case.</p> <p>The aerial images for the disaster events were collected through various online sources (e.g. google images, bing images, youtube, news agencies web sites, etc.) using the keywords ”Aerial View” or ”UAV” or”Drone” and an event such as Fire”,”Earthquake”,”Highway accident”, etc. Images are initially of different sizes but are standardized prior to training. All images where manually inspected to first contain the event that was of interested and then to have the event centered at the image so that any geometric transformations during augmentation would not remove it from the image view. During the data collection process the various disaster events were captured with different resolutions and under various condition with regards to illumination and viewpoint. Finally, to replicate real world scenarios the dataset is imbalanced in the sense that it contains more images from the Normal class.</p> <p>This subset includes around 500 images for each disaster class and over 4000 images for the normal class. This makes it an imbalanced classification problem.</p> <p>It is advised to further enhance the dataset that random augmentations are probabilistically applied to each image prior to adding it to the batch for training. Specifically there are a number of possible transformations such as geometric (rotations, translations, horizontal axis mirroring, cropping and zooming), as well as image manipulations (illumination changes, color shifting, blurring, sharpening, and shadowing).</p>
Aerial and Terrestrial Thermal Images of German Multi-Family Buildings
<p>This dataset consists of 968 thermal images including 693 captured by hand-held camera on the ground and 275 via UAV. Of the aerial images, 139 were recorded manually and 136 in automatic flight mode. The images depict four multi-family buildings of 18 m height in the German city of Karlsruhe belonging to the local municipal housing association Volkswohnung Karlsruhe GmbH. Table 1 gives an overview of the buildings in question, all of which were fully rented out on the days of image acquisition.</p> <p><strong>Table 1:</strong> Building information</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><sup> Building</sup><br> <sub>Details</sub></p> </td> <td> <p>Sophienstr. 201-203</p> </td> <td> <p>Volzstr. 2</p> </td> <td> <p>Wichernstr. 4</p> </td> <td> <p>Wichernstr. 10-18</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>construction year</p> </td> <td> <p>1957</p> </td> <td> <p>1954</p> </td> <td> <p>1953</p> </td> <td> <p>1953</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>apartments</p> </td> <td> <p>30</p> </td> <td> <p>12</p> </td> <td> <p>25</p> </td> <td> <p>30</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>The aerial images were acquired using DJI’s “Matrice 600” UAV (DJI, 2022) equipped with the “Zenmuse XT2”, a combination of FLIR’s “Duo Pro R” thermal and RGB camera technology and DJI’s gimbal (FLIR, 2021a). All thermal images were recorded in FLIR’s proprietary image format RJPEG. The terrestrial thermographic images were captured with FLIR’s “T200” hand-held camera (FLIR, 2021b) in the standard JPEG format. The emissivity was set to 0.95 throughout the acquisition of both aerial and terrestrial images. Thermographic image processing and analysis was realized using the "FLIR Thermal Studio" software (FLIR Systems Inc., 2022). The temperature scale was set to -8 °C to +13 °C and color distribution function "signal linear" selected.</p> <p>The thermal images of this dataset were recorded on February 28<sup>th</sup> and March 1<sup>st</sup>, 2022, between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. On February 28<sup>th</sup> the outside air temperature registered at between 1 °C and 3 °C. Wind speeds reached a maximum of 17 km/h. The sky was cloudless both during the flights and in the preceding 24 hours. A maximum temperature of 11 °C was recorded by local weather stations in that time period. Very similar weather conditions were present on March 1<sup>st</sup>. The outside air temperature was recorded at between -1 °C and 5 °C during acquisition, with wind speeds of max. 11 km/h. Again, the sky was entirely clear both during the flights and in the preceding 24 hours, with a maximum temperature of 9 °C present in that time period.

Train and Evaluation Code, Road Classification Models and Test set of the paper "Insights into the Effects of Image Overlap and Image Size on Semantic Segmentation Models Trained for Road Surface Area Extraction from Aerial Orthophotography"
<p>This repository contains the Python scripts built for training and evaluation of the implementation, together with the test data and the resulting road segmentation models corresponding to the paper "Insights into the Effects of Image Overlap and Image Size on Semantic Segmentation Models Trained for Road Surface Area Extraction from Aerial Orthophotography". The scripts make use of the Tensorflow with Keras framework and their additional required dependencies.</p> <p>The training and validation set is based on the binary SROADEX dataset (<a href="../records/6482346">https://zenodo.org/records/6482346</a>) that was re-split into tiles that feature the image resolutions (256 x 256, 512 x 512, and 1024 x 1024 pixels) and image overlaps (0% and 12.5%) considered in this study. The data have been generated using scripts developed in Python using Open Source libraries (GDAL/OGR and MapScript) for rasterization of vector cartography that represents the axes of the different types of roads (urban, interurban and rural). This binary road data contains information from 16 full orthoimages (28.5 km * 18.5 km) with spatial resolution of 0.5 m/pixel from the insular and peninsular Spanish territory. Due to the size on disk of approximately 492 gigabytes, this training and validation data is only available upon request from the corresponding author. The test set has been generated from a novel area from Palencia (Spain) and features 18 million pixels labelled with the positive "Road" class. The test sets are provided in the repository for each resolution (with no overlap), so that additional DL models can be evaluated on the same data and compared with the results achieved in this study.</p> <p>The structure of the information shared in this repository is as follows:<br>The scripts have been grouped by tile resolution (256, 512 and 1024). First, the test set and the evaluation script can be found. For each tile resolution, there are two subfolders (corresponding to the "no overlap" and "12.5% overlap"). In each case, the Python scripts for training the models in the three repetitions are shared, and the trained models (H5 format) are shared in compressed form. Finally, for each resolution we also share the testing dataset which consists of two folders.</p> <p>The material is distributed under a CC-BY 4.0 license.</p>

A crowdsourced dataset of aerial images with annotated solar photovoltaic arrays and installation metadata
<p><strong>Summary</strong></p> <p>Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation plays a crucial role in the energy transition. Small-scale, residential PV installations are deployed at an unprecedented pace, and their safe integration into the grid necessitates up-to-date, high-quality information. Overhead imagery is increasingly used to improve the knowledge of residential PV installations with machine learning models capable of automatically mapping these installations. However, these models cannot be reliably transferred from one region or imagery source to another without incurring a decrease in accuracy. To address this issue, known as distribution shift, and foster the development of PV array mapping pipelines, we propose a dataset containing aerial images, segmentation masks, and installation metadata. We provide installation metadata for more than 28000 installations. We provide ground truth segmentation masks for 13000 installations, including 7000 with annotations for two different image providers. Finally, we provide installation metadata that matches the annotation for more than 8000 installations. Dataset applications include end-to-end PV registry construction, robust PV installations mapping, and analysis of crowdsourced datasets.</p> <p>This dataset contains the complete records associated with the article "A crowdsourced dataset of aerial images of solar panels, their segmentation masks, and characteristics", published in Scientific data.

Counting animals in aerial images with a density map estimation model
<p>Animal abundance estimation is increasingly based on drone or aerial survey photography. Manual post-processing has been used extensively, however, volumes of such data are increasing, necessitating some level of automation, either for complete counting or as a labour-saving tool. Any automated processing can be challenging when using such tools on species that nest in close formation such as <em>Pygoscelis</em> penguins. We present here a customized CNN-based density map estimation method for counting of penguins from low-resolution aerial photography. Our model, an indirect regression algorithm, performed significantly better in terms of counting accuracy than standard detection algorithm (Faster RCNN) when counting small objects from low-resolution images and gave an error rate of only 0.8 percent. Density map estimation methods as demonstrated here can vastly improve our ability to count animals in tight aggregations, and demonstrably improve monitoring efforts from aerial imagery. </p>

Georectified Mosaic of Aerial Images of Baltimore City in 1927
Landscape analyses are typically done using spatially explicit color aerial imagery. However, working with non-spatial black and white historical aerial photographs presents several challenges that require a combination of techniques and approaches. We analyzed 93 aerial images covering 544 km2 (210 mi2) including all of Baltimore City, and an area immediately adjacent to the city known at the time as the Metropolitan District of Baltimore County. The images were taken from a biplane between October 1926 and February 1927. High-resolution scans were georeferenced and georectified against modern satellite imagery of the area and then combined to create a single raster mosaic. This process converted the images from a disparate set of photographs into a spatially explicit GIS data set that can be used to observe changes in land patches over time—and ultimately integrated with other long-term social, economic, and ecological data.
