Aerial Fire and Smoke Essential

A new small aerial flame dataset, called the Aerial Fire and Smoke Essential (AFSE) dataset, is created which is comprised of screenshots from different YouTube wildfire videos as well as images from FLAME2. Two object categories are included in this dataset: smoke and fire. The collection of images is made to mostly contain pictures utilizing aerial viewpoints. It contains a total of 282 images with no augmentations and has a combination of images with only smoke, fire and smoke, and no fire nor smoke. A total of 66 images are taken from the FLAME2 dataset while the remaining images are taken from recent wildfires in Alberta, British Columbia, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Greece, and Turkey. There are 656 instances of fire and 333 instances of smoke in the dataset.
