Datasets

The Robotics & Autonomous Systems research unit has a vocation to make its results maximally available and provides to this extent on this page a series of datasets that are a result of ongoing and previous research projects. We hope that these datasets can help and inpire other scientists to extend the state of the art.

Maritime object classification dataset

Description

This dataset consists of a series of annotated images taken on board ships sailing through inland waterways It is meant to be used for the development and validation of AI algorithms for the automatic classification of objects (ships / buoys / markers / … ) that are of interest for (autonomous) ship navigation.

This dataset was originally developed within the VLAIO-SSAVE project.

Drones versus birds dataset

Description

This dataset consists of a series of annotated videos where drones and birds are present. It is meant to be used as a dataset for the development and validation of AI algorithms for the automatic classification between drones and birds.

This dataset was originally developed within the H2020-SafeShore project and has later been extended with data from other research projects and research institutes.
