title: AIDERv2 (Aerial Image Dataset for Emergency Response Applications)

description: SUMMARY OF DATASET

 

• This dataset consist of 16,723 aerial images divided into 4 classes.

 

• The dataset contains three commonly occurring natural disasters

earthquake/collapsed buildings, flood, wildfire/fire, and a normal class; do not reflect any disaster

 

• The images can be loaded as numpy arrays using Python programming language and then used to train a Convolutional Neural Network to detect natural disasters from aerial images.

 

• The images are resized to 224x224x3 (heighty,width,channel number) when loaded as numpy arrays.

 

• The dataset is an extension of the AIDER dataset (Aerial Image Dataset for Emergency Response Applications). 

 

• Additional images were collected by open source databases and extracted images as frames of videos downloaded from YouTube. 

 

 

The table below shows the number of images in each set.
