# SEADs: Maritime Multimodal Panoptic Segmentation Dataset 🌊🚢

## Dataset Summary
This dataset contains **multimodal maritime imagery** for **panoptic segmentation** and **object detection** tasks.  
It includes aligned **RGB and thermal images**, with **merged panoptic annotations** in COCO format.  

The dataset is particularly designed for tasks such as:
- Vessel and obstacle detection
- Water-sky-land segmentation
- Multimodal feature fusion (RGB + Thermal)
- Horizon detection

⚠️ **Status: Work in Progress**  
This dataset is still under construction.  
- We are continuously **adding more images**  
- Polishing the **annotation format** (COCO Panoptic standard)  
- Improving **mask quality** and consistency   

Please expect changes in structure and annotations over time, we wil let you know once the dataset is fully finished!
