Lightweight UAV Explosion Detection Dataset

AeroBlast-Vision: Lightweight UAV Explosion Detection Dataset Overview This dataset contains image frames and corresponding bounding box annotations for training lightweight deep learning object detection models (including YOLOv8n and YOLOv11n). It was developed to provide early warning detection of localized anomalies, specifically focusing on combustion and explosions. The dataset is optimized for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and real-time inference on edge computing devices. Dataset Details Image Count: 8179Annotation Format: YOLO (.txt files)Classes: 0: Explosion Data Split: 70 % Train, 20% Valid, 10% Test Edge Deployment & Hardware This dataset is specifically structured for edge computing workflows. Models trained on this data have been successfully deployed and evaluated on edge hardware, specifically the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, demonstrating real-time inference capabilities for Command and Control (C2) UAV dashboards. Origin and Methodology Data was sourced by extracting frames from publicly accessible video footage of various combustion and explosive events. The frames were manually cleaned, filtered for quality, and annotated with bounding boxes to train lightweight computer vision models for rapid hazard detection.
