Pollen video library
...pollen_video_library.zip
- Each type of pollen is in a separate folder, there may be multiple videos per type.
- In each pollen folder, we included images cropped from the videos by YOLO object detection algorithm trained on a subset of pollen images as described in [1].
- Cropped file name structure
[Video file name]_[TrackingID]_[Image index of a grain]_[Frame index in video]
- Example, if a grain has 5 images, the file name would be:
Anthoxanthum-grass-20200530-122652_0000000_001_00001.jpg Anthoxanthum-grass-20200530-122652_0000000_002_00002.jpg ... Anthoxanthum-grass-20200530-122652_0000000_005_00005.jpg
- Example, if a grain has 5 images, the file name would be:
-
Field data over 3 days are gathered in Graz in spring 2020.
...pollen_field_data.zip
-
Sample code to load the data and visualize the images is in
...plot_pollen_sample.py
. Download and extract the file...images_16_types.zip
in the same folder as...plot_pollen_sample.py
to run the example.
