The “Fused Image dataset for convolutional neural Network-based crack Detection” (FIND) is a large-scale image dataset with pixel-level ground truth crack data for deep learning-based crack segmentation analysis. It features four types of image data including raw intensity image, raw range (i.e., elevation) image, filtered range image, and fused raw image. The FIND dataset consists of 2500 image patches (dimension: 256x256 pixels) and their ground truth crack maps for each of the four data types.

The images contained in this dataset were collected from multiple bridge decks and roadways under real-world conditions. A laser scanning device was adopted for data acquisition such that the captured raw intensity and raw range images have pixel-to-pixel location correspondence (i.e., spatial co-registration feature). The filtered range data were generated by applying frequency domain filtering to eliminate image disturbances (e.g., surface variations, and grooved patterns) from the raw range data [1]. The fused image data were obtained by combining the raw range and raw intensity data to achieve cross-domain feature correlation [2,3]. Please refer to [4] for a comprehensive benchmark study performed using the FIND dataset to investigate the impact from different types of image data on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) performance.

If you share or use this dataset, please cite [4] and [5] in any relevant documentation.

In addition, an image dataset for crack classification has also been published at [6].

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of South Range by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for South Range. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of South Range by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in South Range. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for South Range.

Point Cloud MNIST 2D

This is a simple dataset for getting started with Machine Learning for point cloud data. It take the original MNIST and converts each of the non-zero pixels into points in a 2D space. The idea is to classify each collection of point (rather than images) to the same label as in the MNIST. The source for generating this dataset can be found in this repository: cgarciae/point-cloud-mnist-2D

Format

There are 2 files: train.csv and test.csv. Each file has the columns

label,x0,y0,v0,x1,y1,v1,...,x350,y350,v350

where

• label contains the target label in the range [0, 9]
• x{i} contain the x position of the pixel/point as viewed in a Cartesian plane in the range [-1, 27].
• y{i} contain the y position of the pixel/point as viewed in a Cartesian plane in the range [-1, 27].
• v{i} contain the value of the pixel in the range [-1, 255].

Padding

The maximum number of point found on a image was 351, images with less points where padded to this length using the following values:

• x{i} = -1
• y{i} = -1
• v{i} = -1

Subsamples

To make the challenge more interesting you can also try to solve the problem using a subset of points, e.g. the first N. Here are some visualizations of the dataset using different amounts of points:

This dataset delineates the spatial range of wild pheasant populations in Minnesota as of 2002 by dividing the MN state boundary into 2 units: pheasant range and non-range.

Species distribution data provide the foundation for a wide range of ecological research studies and conservation management decisions. Two major efforts to provide marine species distributions at a global scale are the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which provides expert-generated range maps that outline the complete extent of a species' distribution; and AquaMaps, which provides model-generated species distribution maps that predict areas occupied by the species. Together these databases represent 24,586 species (93.1% within AquaMaps, 16.4% within IUCN), with only 2,330 shared species. Differences in intent and methodology can result in very different predictions of species distributions, which bear important implications for scientists and decision makers who rely upon these datasets when conducting research or informing conservation policy and management actions. Comparing distributions for the small subset of species with maps in both datasets, we found that AquaMaps and IUCN range maps show strong agreement for many well-studied species, but our analysis highlights several key examples in which introduced errors drive differences in predicted species ranges. In particular, we find that IUCN maps greatly overpredict coral presence into unsuitably deep waters, and we show that some AquaMaps computer-generated default maps (only 5.7% of which have been reviewed by experts) can produce odd discontinuities at the extremes of a species’ predicted range. We illustrate the scientific and management implications of these tradeoffs by repeating a global analysis of gaps in coverage of marine protected areas, and find significantly different results depending on how the two datasets are used. By highlighting tradeoffs between the two datasets, we hope to encourage increased collaboration between taxa experts and large scale species distribution modeling efforts to further improve these foundational datasets, helping to better inform science and policy recommendations around understanding, managing, and protecting marine biodiversity.

This dataset contains ERA5 surface level analysis parameter data. ERA5 is the 5th generation reanalysis project from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECWMF) - see linked documentation for further details. This dataset contains a limited selection of all available variables and have been converted to netCDF from the original GRIB files held on the ECMWF system. They have also been translated onto a regular latitude-longitude grid during the extraction process from the ECMWF holdings. For a fuller set of variables please see the linked Copernicus Data Store (CDS) data tool, linked to from this record.

Model level analysis and surface forecast data to complement this dataset are also available. Data from a 10 member ensemble, run at lower spatial and temporal resolution, were also produced to provide an uncertainty estimate for the output from the single high resolution (hourly output at 31 km grid spacing) 'HRES' realisation producing data in this dataset.

The ERA5 global atmospheric reanalysis of the covers 1979 to 2 months behind the present month. This follows on from the ERA-15, ERA-40 rand ERA-interim re-analysis projects.

An initial release of ERA5 data (ERA5t) is made roughly 5 days behind the present date. These will be subsequently reviewed ahead of being released by ECMWF as quality assured data within 3 months. CEDA holds a 6 month rolling copy of the latest ERA5t data. See related datasets linked to from this record. However, for the period 2000-2006 the initial ERA5 release was found to suffer from stratospheric temperature biases and so new runs to address this issue were performed resulting in the ERA5.1 release (see linked datasets). Note, though, that Simmons et al. 2020 (technical memo 859) report that "ERA5.1 is very close to ERA5 in the lower and middle troposphere." but users of data from this period should read the technical memo 859 for further details.

This dataset contains ERA5 surface level analysis parameter data ensemble means (see linked dataset for spreads). ERA5 is the 5th generation reanalysis project from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECWMF) - see linked documentation for further details.

This study presents a catalog of 8107 molecular clouds that covers the entire Galactic plane and includes 98% of the ¹²CO emission observed within b +/- 5 deg. The catalog was produced using a hierarchical cluster identification method applied to the result of a Gaussian decomposition of the Dame+ (2001ApJ...547..792D) data. The total H₂ mass in the catalog is 1.2 x 10⁹ M_sun, in agreement with previous estimates. The authors find that 30% of the sight lines intersect only a single cloud, with another 25% intersecting only two clouds. The most probable cloud size is R~30pc. In contrast with the general idea, the authors find a rather large range of values of surface densities, Sigma = 2 to 300 M_sun/pc², and a systematic decrease with increasing Galactic radius, R_gal. The cloud velocity dispersion and the normalization sigma₀ = sigma_v / R^1/2 both decrease systematically with R_gal. When studied over the whole Galactic disk, there is a large dispersion in the line width-size relation and a significantly better correlation between sigma_v and SigmaR. The normalization of this correlation is constant to better than a factor of two for R_gal < 20kpc. This relation is used to disentangle the ambiguity between near and far kinematic distances. The authors report a strong variation of the turbulent energy injection rate. In the outer Galaxy it may be maintained by accretion through the disk and/or onto the clouds, but neither source can drive the 100 times higher cloud-averaged injection rate in the inner Galaxy. The data set used in this catalog come from that of Dame+ (2001ApJ...547..792D). Those authors combined observations obtained over a period of 20 yr with two telescopes, one in the north (first located in New York City and then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts) and one in the south (Cerro Tololo, Chile). These 1.2m telescopes have an angular resolution of ~8.5' at 115GHz, the frequency of the ¹²CO 1-0 line. For the current study the authors used the data set covering the whole Galactic plane with +/- 5 deg in Galactic latitude. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2019 based upon the CDS Catalog J/ApJ/834/57 file table1.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Summary

• A new dataset for neuron instance segmentation in 3d multicolor light microscopy data of fruit fly brains
  • 30 completely labeled (segmented) images
  • 71 partly labeled images
  • altogether comprising ∼600 expert-labeled neuron instances (labeling a single neuron takes between 30-60 min on average, yet a difficult one can take up to 4 hours)
• To the best of our knowledge, the first real-world benchmark dataset for instance segmentation of long thin filamentous objects
• A set of metrics and a novel ranking score for respective meaningful method benchmarking
• An evaluation of three baseline methods in terms of the above metrics and score

Abstract

Instance segmentation of neurons in volumetric light microscopy images of nervous systems enables groundbreaking research in neuroscience by facilitating joint functional and morphological analyses of neural circuits at cellular resolution. Yet said multi-neuron light microscopy data exhibits extremely challenging properties for the task of instance segmentation: Individual neurons have long-ranging, thin filamentous and widely branching morphologies, multiple neurons are tightly inter-weaved, and partial volume effects, uneven illumination and noise inherent to light microscopy severely impede local disentangling as well as long-range tracing of individual neurons. These properties reflect a current key challenge in machine learning research, namely to effectively capture long-range dependencies in the data. While respective methodological research is buzzing, to date methods are typically benchmarked on synthetic datasets. To address this gap, we release the FlyLight Instance Segmentation Benchmark (FISBe) dataset, the first publicly available multi-neuron light microscopy dataset with pixel-wise annotations. In addition, we define a set of instance segmentation metrics for benchmarking that we designed to be meaningful with regard to downstream analyses. Lastly, we provide three baselines to kick off a competition that we envision to both advance the field of machine learning regarding methodology for capturing long-range data dependencies, and facilitate scientific discovery in basic neuroscience.

How to work with the image files

Each sample consists of a single 3d MCFO image of neurons of the fruit fly.
For each image, we provide a pixel-wise instance segmentation for all separable neurons.
Each sample is stored as a separate zarr file (zarr is a file storage format for chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays based on an open-source specification.").
The image data ("raw") and the segmentation ("gt_instances") are stored as two arrays within a single zarr file.
The segmentation mask for each neuron is stored in a separate channel.
The order of dimensions is CZYX.

We recommend to work in a virtual environment, e.g., by using conda:

conda create -y -n flylight-env -c conda-forge python=3.9
conda activate flylight-env

How to open zarr files

1. Install the python zarr package:

   pip install zarr

2. Opened a zarr file with:
   

   import zarr
raw = zarr.open(
seg = zarr.open(

   # optional:
import numpy as np
raw_np = np.array(raw)

Zarr arrays are read lazily on-demand.
Many functions that expect numpy arrays also work with zarr arrays.
Optionally, the arrays can also explicitly be converted to numpy arrays.

How to view zarr image files

We recommend to use napari to view the image data.

1. Install napari:

   pip install "napari[all]"

2. Save the following Python script:
   

   import zarr, sys, napari

   raw = zarr.load(sys.argv[1], mode='r', path="volumes/raw")
gts = zarr.load(sys.argv[1], mode='r', path="volumes/gt_instances")

   viewer = napari.Viewer(ndisplay=3)
for idx, gt in enumerate(gts):
viewer.add_labels(
gt, rendering='translucent', blending='additive', name=f'gt_{idx}')
viewer.add_image(raw[0], colormap="red", name='raw_r', blending='additive')
viewer.add_image(raw[1], colormap="green", name='raw_g', blending='additive')
viewer.add_image(raw[2], colormap="blue", name='raw_b', blending='additive')
napari.run()

3. Execute:

   python view_data.py

Shows areas where the health and prevalence of caribou can be linked to the attributes of the land that supports them.

Ontario's Woodland Caribou Recovery Strategy (2008) provides advice and recommendations on the approaches needed for the recovery of Woodland Caribou.

The strategy recommends the identification of ranges and local populations to:

• maintain existing, self-sustaining, genetically-connected local populations of caribou
• ensure security for and (reproductive) connections among currently isolated mainland caribou
• re-establish caribou in strategic areas to create self-sustaining local populations and ensure connectivity
