We introduce the Northumberland Dolphin Dataset 2020 (NDD20), a
challenging image dataset annotated for both coarse and fine-grained
instance segmentation and categorisation. This dataset, the first
release of the NDD, was created in response to the rapid expansion of
computer vision into conservation research and the production of
field-deployable systems suited to extreme environmental conditions - an
area with few open source datasets.
NDD20
contains a large collection of above and below water images of two
different dolphin species for traditional coarse and fine-grained
segmentation. All data contained in NDD20 was obtained via manual
collection in the North Sea around the Northumberland coastline, UK.
This dataset is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 and thus may not be
used for commercial purposes. If you wish to discuss utilising this
dataset for commercial purposes please contact the authors.
