Marine Obstacle Detection Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains marine videos, captured by unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The challenge, posed by this dataset, is to segment each image into three natural regions: the sky, the shore and the sea, and furthermore, detect obstacles in the sea area.

This page includes:

• Marine Obstacle Detection Dataset (MODD) v1.0
  • Twelve fully-annotated videos for quantitative analysis.
  • The set of images and annotations used for learning the hyper priors.
  • Additional four non-annotated videos are provided for qualitative analysis.
• Matlab routines and demo for automatic performance evaluation. See readme for usage.
• Videos for ground truth visualization.
• A reference Matlab implementation of the Semantic segmentation model.
• Marine Obstacle Detection Dataset (MODD) v2.0
• A new dataset with stereo images and more challenging scenarios. See the links at the bottom of the page

Supplementary material

Here is a link to the page containing supplementary material for the paper in which the dataset was published. The page also contains a video of the USV.

The semantic segmentation model

Semantic segmentation model This is a Matlab demo code for the semantic segmentation model for obstacle image map estimation for unmanned surface vehicles. The demo requires downloading the MOD dataset and has pretrained hiperparameters on the MOD dataset.

Modd v2.0 dataset [NEW!]

Multimodal marine obstacle detection dataset (MODD v2) - This dataset contains marine videos, captured by unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The challenge, posed by this dataset, is to segment each image into three natural regions: the sky, the shore and the sea, and furthermore, detect obstacles in the sea area.
