MSR-UAV-Audio-16K2S

Dataset Summary

MSR-UAV-Audio-16K2S (Multi-Source Robust UAV Audio Dataset) is a standardized drone sound classification dataset composed of multi-source UAV audio recordings collected from public platforms (e.g., YouTube, Kaggle, Hugging Face) and private datasets.

All audio samples are:

  • Mono channel
  • 16 kHz sampling rate
  • 2-second fixed-length clips
  • Noise-augmented for robustness

The dataset is designed for robust UAV acoustic classification under diverse environmental conditions.


Dataset Characteristics

  • Multi-source aggregated data
  • Multiple UAV/drone categories
  • Background noise augmentation
  • Standardized preprocessing pipeline
  • Fixed-length clips (2s)
  • Mono 16kHz WAV format

Task

Audio Classification
Robust Drone Sound Recognition


Intended Use

This dataset is suitable for:

  • UAV acoustic detection
  • Drone classification research
  • Surveillance systems
  • Edge AI audio inference
  • Robust environmental sound modeling
  • Benchmarking noise-resistant classifiers

Data Processing

All raw audio was:

  1. Converted to mono
  2. Resampled to 16 kHz
  3. Segmented into 2-second clips
  4. Normalized
  5. Augmented with diverse environmental background noises

Noise sources include environmental and urban soundscapes to simulate real-world operating conditions.


Data Format

  • Format: WAV
  • Channels: Mono
  • Sampling rate: 16,000 Hz
  • Duration: 2 seconds per clip

Limitations

  • Data originates from heterogeneous sources.
  • Background noise is synthetically augmented.
  • May not fully represent all UAV acoustic signatures.

Future Work

  • Real-world field recordings
  • Expanded drone categories
