Abstract:
These RGB mosaics and thermal indices of Atlantic grey seal colonies at Hay and Saddle Island, Nova Scotia, were collected by small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The mosaics and thermal indices were assessed by human analysts, who counted the seals in the mosaic and classified individuals as 'young of the year' or 'adult'. Concurrently, an automated detection and classification model was applied to the datasets and compared to human counts.

摘要：本数据集涵盖加拿大新斯科舍省海伊岛与萨德尔岛海域大西洋灰海豹种群的RGB拼接影像与热感指数，由小型无人航空器系统（UAS）采集获取。人工分析师对上述拼接影像与热感指数开展标注评估工作：在拼接影像中完成海豹个体计数，并将个体划分为"当年幼崽"与"成年个体"两类。与此同时，研究团队将自动化检测与分类模型应用于该数据集，并将模型输出结果与人工计数结果进行了对比验证。
