title: BurnedAreaUAV Dataset (v1)

description: <strong>General Description</strong> A manually annotated dataset, consisting of the video frames and segmentation masks, for segmentation of forest fire burned area based on a video captured by a UAV. <strong>Data Collection </strong> The <em>BurnedAreaUAV</em> dataset derives from a video captured at the coordinates' latitude 41° 23’ 37.56" and longitude -7° 37’ 0.32", at Torre do Pinhão, in northern Portugal in an area characterized by shrubby to herbaceous vegetation. The video was captured during the evolution of a prescribed fire using a DJI Phantom 4 PRO UAV equipped with an FC6310S RGB camera. <strong>Video Overview</strong> The video captures a prescribed fire where the burned area increases progressively. At the beginning of the sequence, a significant portion of the UAV’s sensor field of view is already burned, and the burned area expands as time goes by. The video was collected by an RGB sensor installed on a drone while keeping the drone in a nearly static stationary stance during the data collection duration. The video has about 15 minutes and a frame rate of 25 frames per second, amounting to 22500 images. It was collected by an RGB sensor installed on a drone while keeping the drone in a nearly static stationary stance during the data collection duration. Throughout this period, the progression of the burned area is observed. The original video has a resolution of 720×1280 and is stored in H.264 (or MPEG-4 Part 10) format. No audio signal was collected. <strong>Manual Annotation</strong> The annotation was done every 100 frames, which corresponds to a sampling period of 4 seconds. Two classes are considered: <em>burned_area </em>and <em>unburned_area</em>. This annotation has been done for the entire length of the video. The training set consists of 226 frame-image pairs and the test set of 23. The training and test annotations are offset by 50 frames. We plan to expand this dataset in the future. <br> <strong>File Organization (<em>BurnedAreaUAV_v1.rar</em>)</strong> The data is available in PNG, JSON (Labelme format), and WKT (segmentation masks only). The raw video data is also made available.
