HPWREN Fire-Origin Points — development eval set
Human-placed fire-origin points (the base of the smoke column — the point that feeds azimuth / geolocation) on confirmed-wildfire frames from HPWREN fixed cameras. 31 frames spanning ~31 distinct fires.
⚠️ Provenance & license
The images are HPWREN wildfire-camera frames annotated with smoke bounding boxes by AI For Mankind, released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. This dataset redistributes a curated subset of those images under the same license — attribution, non-commercial, share-alike. Please credit AI For Mankind and HPWREN. The fire-origin annotations are the contribution added here (also CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
Columns
image, annotated (overlay: GT box + origin crosshair + uncertainty region),
x_origin/y_origin (normalized origin), x_min…y_max (2D uncertainty region),
base_occluded, confidence (clear/moderate/guess), outside_box (+outside_dist,
derived), box_*, plume_size, scene, camera, annotator.
Curation
744 AI For Mankind frames are FIgLib ignition sequences (many near-identical frames per fire). We deduplicated to unique fires (camera + date-region hashing), then hand-curated — best frame per fire, dropping non-fires — to ~31 confirmed fires.
Intended use
A small dev/eval set for fire-origin estimation methods (bbox-center baseline, classical CV, SAM). Not a benchmark — small N, single region (Southern California). Non-commercial research only.
