Segmentation Labels for Emergency Response Imagery from Hurricane Barry, Delta, Dorian, Florence, Isaias, Laura, Michael, Sally, Zeta, and Tropical Storm Gordon

Abstract

The zip file here contains 1,179 pairs of human-generated segmentation labels and images from Emergency Response Imagery collected by US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) after Hurricane Barry, Delta, Dorian, Florence, Ida, Laura, Michael, Sally, Zeta, and Tropical Storm Gordon. A total of 1,054 unique images were labeled. 946 images were annotated by a single labeler. 95 images were annotated by two labelers. 11 images were annotated by three labelers. 2 images were annotated by five labelers. All authors contributed to labeling, and all labeling was done with an open-source labeling tool (Buscombe et al., 2022). All pixels in each image are labeled with one of four classes: 0 (water), 1 (bare sand), 2 (vegetation - both sparse and dense), 4 (the built environment - buildings, roads, parking lots, boats, etc.) The csv file provided here is a list of each image file name (which includes the anonymized labeler ID), the name of the image without the labeler ID, the name of the corresponding NOAA jpg, the NOAA flight name, the storm name, the latitude and longitude of the image, and a column stating if the image has been labeled multiple times. Images labeled here correspond to multiple NOAA flights &mdash; all listed in the csv file for each jpeg image. These jpeg images can be downloaded directly from NOAA (https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/) or using Moretz et al. (2020a, 2020b). The images included in this data release correspond to original NOAA images that have been resized and then split into quadrants (using ImageMagick). The naming convention corresponds to the image quarter &mdash; the *-0.jpg is upper left, *-1.jpg is upper right, *-2.jpg is lower left, and *-3.jpg is the lower right.</span
