AIDERv2 (Aerial Image Dataset for Emergency Response Applications)

SUMMARY OF DATASET

• This dataset consist of 167723 aerial images divided into 4 classes.

• The dataset contains three commonly occurring natural disasters

earthquake/collapsed buildings, flood, wildfire/fire, and a normal class; do not reflect any disaster

• The images can be loaded as numpy arrays using Python programming language and then used to train a Convolutional Neural Network to detect natural disasters from aerial images.

• The images are resized to 224x224x3 (heighty,width,channel number) when loaded as numpy arrays.

• The dataset is an extension of the AIDER dataset (Aerial Image Dataset for Emergency Response Applications). 

• Additional images were collected by open source databases and extracted images as frames of videos downloaded from YouTube. 

The table below shows the number of images in each set.
