MCG GPR dataset

MCG GPR dataset

The MCG GPR (Mixed Cropped Ground Penetrating Radar) dataset consists of randomly cropped and curated GPR images sourced from publicly available data. This dataset was initially developed for machine learning applications, with images processed using multiple segmentation techniques including Gabor filters, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), Eigenvector analysis, Clustering (K-means), and Gradient of Texture approaches, to create initial labels for each image. These methods were employed to extract relevant attributes for GPR image segmentation. After that, the most representative labels were selected, and fixed manually.

Dataset Specifications:- Image dimensions: 340 × 720 pixels (height × width)- Classification: Binary (background and foreground features)- Image format: PNG- Mask format: PNG
