INSA soil image dataset

Camera description 1 RGB Camera Images of each mixture are captured at a distance of ∼ 40cm from a Luxonis OAK-D Pro RGB camera under artificial (ambient) lighting. The camera hasthe following specifications:• Resolution: 12MP (4056x3040)• Frame rate: 60 FPS• Lens Size: 1/2.3 inch• 3 color channels Red+Green+Blue (RGB) 2 InfraRed Camera To generate the image data under artificial (ambiant) lighting, an Aerial Map-ping Camera (MAPIR) is used which is a low-cost, high-resolution Near-InfraRed (NIR) camera capable of capturing multiple non-distorted images. Some specifications of the camera include:• Resolution: 4000x3000, JPG (24bit)• Shutter Speed: automatic• Lens: 19mm 87° HFOV, F2.8 Fixed Aperture (Survey3W)• Color channels NIR+Green+Blue (NGB)Distance of cameras from soil: ∼40cm Soil description The dataset contains:• 3 coarse soils: gravel, Hostun sand and Synthetic coarse sand. Different mixtures are realised with gravel/Hostun sand and gravel/Synthetic sand. Images are taken with the RGB camera.• 2 fine soils: Kaolin (white clay) and silt of Dieppe. The soils were mixed with water at different water content values, and images are taken with the RGB and the InfraRed camera.
