VHR images were produced in the tunnel tubes of EOAE by autonomous robotic systems (2022)

In the context of the EU-funded project PILOTING (No. 871542), several validation scenarios were scheduled in the three pre-determined pilot sites, i.e. refinery, viaduct, and tunnel, in order to evaluate the good operation of 9 different robotic systems and a versatile data platform. Under this frame, the current dataset was generated during the pilot demonstrations in Metsovo tunnels on 30/9/2022-08/10/2022. The aforementioned were collected by two of the robotic systems, e.g. the CART and the TT-DRONE, covering the execution of the two inspections; a) the general inspection, where the robot covers all the tubes, and b) the local inspection, which captured images in dedicated positions. This particular dataset is comprised of Very High Resolution (VHR) photos, gathered in the tunnel facilities of EGNATIA ODOS AE (EOAE). During the image capturing, no artificial flashlight was used. The total number of photos acquired from the general inspection is 133 and from the local inspection 8. The data format received by the two robotic systems is in JPEG with the CART vehicle producing images with the approximate dimensions of 9504x6336 pixels, and the TT-DRONE with 6000x4000 pixels.
