Dataset for Wildlife Species Detection at Baluran National Park, Indonesia

This dataset is associated with the study: "First use of visible-thermal fusion network approach for robust species monitoring in the tropics".A total of 1,236 pairs of fused, visible, thermal drone images were collected at Baluran National Park, East Java, Indonesia. The park is a tropical savanna ecosystem and a key conservation area for several protected and near-threatened species in Java.All images provided in this dataset are fusion outputs — composite images combining visible (RGB) and thermal infrared information — and were used directly as input for deep learning-based species detection models Dataset summary:Total images: 1,236 pairs image: fused, visible, thermal imagesImage type: Fusion, Raw, ThermalAnnotations: Not included Capture platform: UAV dual-sensor systemStudy site: Baluran National Park, Situbondo, East Java, IndonesiaHabitat: Tropical savanna
