UAVDisaster36K Dataset

Overview

UAVDisaster36K is a large-scale aerial image dataset for disaster recognition collected from UAVs, drones, and other low-altitude aerial platforms. The dataset contains images of disaster and non-disaster scenarios across four categories:

  • Earthquake
  • Flood
  • Fire
  • Normal

The dataset was created to support research in aerial image classification, disaster monitoring, emergency response, and efficient deep learning models for UAV deployment.

Repository Contents

  • Zip file containint the 4th fold files which demonstrated the most correlration with the average.

Dataset Statistics

Class Images Videos
Earthquake 6,595 45
Flood 8,905 37
Fire 10,160 45
Normal 10,340 32
Total 36,000 159

Data Collection

Images were collected from:

  • UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
  • Drones
  • Low-altitude aircraft

Data acquisition was performed using disaster-related keywords targeting aerial imagery of:

  • Earthquakes
  • Floods
  • Wildfires
  • Normal non-disaster scenes

Data Cleaning and Validation

The dataset was manually reviewed and curated by two researchers.

The cleaning process involved:

  • Removal of irrelevant images
  • Removal of branded and copyrighted content
  • Removal of terrestrial (non-aerial) imagery
  • Removal of blurry and low-quality samples
  • Verification of class labels

Data Partitioning

To minimize data leakage, the dataset was partitioned using a video-based splitting strategy, ensuring that frames originating from the same video do not appear in multiple splits.

The official experiments use:

  • Training set
  • Validation set
  • Test set

Acquisition Characteristics

Altitude

Approximate acquisition altitude:

  • 10 m to 300 m

Viewing Angles

Images range from:

  • Near-nadir views
  • Oblique aerial views

Data Format

  • Images: .jpg

Normal

  • Width: Min 426, Max 1920, Mean 1103.36
  • Height: Min 240, Max 1080, Mean 597.08

Applications

  • Disaster Recognition
  • Aerial Image Classification
  • UAV-Based Emergency Response
  • Vision Transformers
  • Edge AI for UAVs
  • Computer Vision Research
