Dataset for surface waves height prediction through the video and image processing

Image-based study of surface waves is a long lasting topic in ocean science and remote sensing. We believe that modern computers and new programming techniques can make a break-through in this area. This dataset provides some video files of surface wind waves of two kinds. First is a video snapshot of a quite large area. Second one is a zoom-in video of a spar-buoy (a stick) located in this field. According to the zoom-in video we may see the actual height of the wave in this particular point. This should be treated as a reliable data and so it can be used to calibrate the brightness field. I.e. the users of this dataset are welcome to train their model to obtain the height of the wave out of its brightness on the zoom-out large-area videos. All video files are readable by a conventional software. Records were taken at mild wind conditions in a gulf (fjord or skerry) of the Ladoga Lake. See "readme.pdf" for the details
