Tobacco Aerial Dataset

To capture aerial dataset of tobacco and weed, a Mavic Mini drone was employed.
Between the ages of 15 and 40 days, eight tobacco fields in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, were photographed. The dataset is captured at an average altitude of 4 metres and a ground sampling distance of 0.1 cm per pixel.
Pictures were captured for both datasets at a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, however for faster processing, we cropped non-overlapping images to a size of 480 x 352 pixels. Using the MATLAB Image Labeler app, we labelled the photos by hand. A label image in 8-bit unsigned grayscale is produced by the software. The depicted image has the pixel values 0, 1, and 2 assigned to the background, crop, and weed, respectively. Since there are no aerial dataset available publicly to the best of our knowledge, these datasets could be utilized to support further research for Tobacco crop.
Tobacco dataset is captured in eight different drone fly campaigns on eight different fields as shown in table below.
