INSPIRE Priority Data Set (Compliant) - Species range

This dataset has been generated using NYUSIM 3.0 mm-Wave channel simulator software, which takes into account atmospheric data such as rain rate, humidity, barometric pressure, and temperature. The input data was collected over the course of a year in South Asia. As a result, the dataset provides an accurate representation of the seasonal variations in mm-wave channel characteristics in these areas. The dataset includes a total of 2835 records, each of which contains T-R Separation Distance (m), Time Delay (ns), Received Power (dBm), Phase (rad), Azimuth AoD (degree), Elevation AoD (degree), Azimuth AoA (degree), Elevation, AoA (degree), RMS Delay Spread (ns), Season, Frequency and Path Loss (dB). Four main seasons have been considered in this dataset: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Each season is subdivided into three parts (i.e., low, medium, and high), to accurately include the atmospheric variations in a season. To simulate the path loss, realistic Tx and Rx height, NLoS environment, and mean human blockage attenuation effects have been taken into consideration. The data has been preprocessed and normalized to ensure consistency and ease of use. Researchers in the field of mm-wave communications and networking can use this dataset to study the impact of atmospheric conditions on mm-wave channel characteristics and develop more accurate models for predicting channel behavior. The dataset can also be used to evaluate the performance of different communication protocols and signal processing techniques under varying weather conditions. Note that while the data was collected specifically in South Asia region, the high correlation between the weather patterns in this region and other areas means that the dataset may also be applicable to other regions with similar atmospheric conditions.

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].

A key characteristic of free-range chicken farming is to enable chickens to spend time outdoors. However, each chicken may use the available areas for roaming in variable ways. To check if, and how, broilers use their outdoor range at an individual level, we need to reliably characterise range use behaviour. Traditional methods relying on visual scans require significant time investment and only provide discontinuous information. Passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems enable tracking individually tagged chickens’ when they go through pop-holes; hence they only provide partial information on the movements of individual chickens. Here, we describe a new method to measure chickens’ range use and test its reliability on three ranges each containing a different breed. We used an active RFID system to localise chickens in their barn, or in one of nine zones of their range, every 30 seconds and assessed range-use behaviour in 600 chickens belonging to three breeds of slow- or medium-growing broilers used for outdoor production (all < 40g daily weight gain). From those real-time locations, we determined five measures to describe daily range use: time spent in the barn, number of outdoor accesses, number of zones visited in a day, gregariousness (an index that increases when birds spend time in zones where other birds are), and numbers of zone changes. Principal Component Analyses (PCAs) were performed on those measures, in each production system, to create two synthetic indicators of chickens’ range use behaviour. Our dataset includes the files needed to calibrate the system (supplementary materials), the data files used in the publication and the associated codes.

Description:

This mmWave Datasets are used for fitness activity identification. This dataset (FA Dataset) contains 14 common fitness daily activities. The data are captured by the mmWave radar TI-AWR1642. The dataset can be used by fellow researchers to reproduce the original work or to further explore other machine-learning problems in the domain of mmWave signals.

• A TI DCA1000EVM data capture card is used to collect data from the mmWave device and send data to a laptop. The detailed information can be found at https://www.ti.com/tool/DCA1000EVM?keyMatch=DCA1000EVM.
• mmWave radar work at the frequency in the range of 77~81GHz. The sampling rate is fixed at 100 frames per second and each frame has 17 chirps.

Section 2: Data Format

We provide our mmWave data in heatmaps for this dataset. The data file is in the png format. The details are shown in the following:

• 14 activities are included in the FA Dataset.
• 2 participants are included in the FA Dataset.
• FA_d_p_i_u_j.png:
  • d represents the date to collect the fitness data.
  • p represents the environment to collect the fitness data.
  • i represents fitness activity type index
  • u represents user id
  • j represents sample index
• Example:
  • FA_20220101_lab_1_2_3 represents the 3rd data sample of user 2 of activity 1 collected in the lab

Section 3: Experimental Setup

• We place the mmWave device on a table with a height of 60cm.
• The participants are asked to perform fitness activity in front of a mmWave device with a distance of 2m.
• The data are collected at an lab with a size of (5.0m×3.0m).

Section 4: Data Description

• We develop a spatial-temporal heatmap to integrates multiple activity features, including the range of movement, velocity, and time duration of each activity repetition.

• We first derive the Doppler-range map of the users' activity by calculating Range-FFT and Doppler-FFT. Then, we generate the spatial-temporal heatmap by accumulating the velocity of every distance in every Doppler-range map together. Next, we normalize the derived velocity information and present the velocity-distance relationship in time dimension. In this way, we transfer the original instantaneous velocity-distance relationship to a more comprehensive spatial-temporal heatmap which describes the process of a whole activity.

• As shown in Figure attached, in each spatial-temporal heatmap, the horizontal axis represents the time duration of an activity repetition while the vertical axis represents the range of movement. The velocity is represented by color.

• We create 14 zip files to store the the dataset. There are 14 zip files starting with "FA", each contains repetitions from the same fitness activity.

• We also provide the mmWave raw data (.mat format) stored in the same zip file corresponding to the heatmap datasets. Each .mat file can store one set of activity repetitions (e.g., 4 repetations) from a same user.
  • For example: FA_d_p_i_u_j.mat:
    • d represents the data to collect the data.
    • p represents the environment to collect the data.
    • i represents the activity type index
    • u represents the user id
    • j represents the set index

These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: EPA cannot release personally identifiable information regarding living individuals, according to the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This dataset contains information about human research subjects. Because there is potential to identify individual participants and disclose personal information, either alone or in combination with other datasets, individual level data are not appropriate to post for public access. Restricted access may be granted to authorized persons by contacting the party listed. It can be accessed through the following means: File format: R workspace file; “Simulated_Dataset.RData”. Metadata (including data dictionary) • y: Vector of binary responses (1: adverse outcome, 0: control) • x: Matrix of covariates; one row for each simulated individual • z: Matrix of standardized pollution exposures • n: Number of simulated individuals • m: Number of exposure time periods (e.g., weeks of pregnancy) • p: Number of columns in the covariate design matrix • alpha_true: Vector of “true” critical window locations/magnitudes (i.e., the ground truth that we want to estimate) Code Abstract We provide R statistical software code (“CWVS_LMC.txt”) to fit the linear model of coregionalization (LMC) version of the Critical Window Variable Selection (CWVS) method developed in the manuscript. We also provide R code (“Results_Summary.txt”) to summarize/plot the estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. Description “CWVS_LMC.txt”: This code is delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace has been loaded into R, the text in the file can be used to identify/estimate critical windows of susceptibility and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. “Results_Summary.txt”: This code is also delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is applied to the simulated dataset and the program has completed, this code can be used to summarize and plot the identified/estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities (similar to the plots shown in the manuscript). Optional Information (complete as necessary) Required R packages: • For running “CWVS_LMC.txt”: • msm: Sampling from the truncated normal distribution • mnormt: Sampling from the multivariate normal distribution • BayesLogit: Sampling from the Polya-Gamma distribution • For running “Results_Summary.txt”: • plotrix: Plotting the posterior means and credible intervals Instructions for Use Reproducibility (Mandatory) What can be reproduced: The data and code can be used to identify/estimate critical windows from one of the actual simulated datasets generated under setting E4 from the presented simulation study. How to use the information: • Load the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace • Run the code contained in “CWVS_LMC.txt” • Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is complete, run “Results_Summary.txt”. Format: Below is the replication procedure for the attached data set for the portion of the analyses using a simulated data set: Data The data used in the application section of the manuscript consist of geocoded birth records from the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, 2005-2008. In the simulation study section of the manuscript, we simulate synthetic data that closely match some of the key features of the birth certificate data while maintaining confidentiality of any actual pregnant women. Availability Due to the highly sensitive and identifying information contained in the birth certificate data (including latitude/longitude and address of residence at delivery), we are unable to make the data from the application section publically available. However, we will make one of the simulated datasets available for any reader interested in applying the method to realistic simulated birth records data. This will also allow the user to become familiar with the required inputs of the model, how the data should be structured, and what type of output is obtained. While we cannot provide the application data here, access to the North Carolina birth records can be requested through the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, and requires an appropriate data use agreement. Description Permissions: These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given.

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 

Metrics

A low cost, short range quantum key distribution system/Figure 11-16

Biomass production is positively correlated with mean tidal range in salt marshes along the Atlantic coast of the United States of America. Recent studies support the idea that enhanced stability of the marshes can be attributed to increased vegetative growth due to increased tidal range. This dataset displays the spatial variation mean tidal range (i.e. Mean Range of Tides, MN) in the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (EBFNWR), which spans over Great Bay, Little Egg Harbor, and Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, USA. MN was based on the calculated difference in height between mean high water (MHW) and mean low water (MLW) using the VDatum (v3.5) software (http://vdatum.noaa.gov/). The input elevation was set to zero in VDatum to calculate the relative difference between the two datums. As part of the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has started a Wetland Synthesis Project to expand National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands. The intent is to provide federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate their vulnerability and ecosystem service potential. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services. EBFNWR was selected as a pilot study area.

Description:

This mmWave Datasets are used for activity verification. It contains two datasets. The first dataset (FA Dataset) contains 14 common daily activities. This second one (EA Dataset) contains 5 kinds of eating activities. The data are captured by the mmWave radar TI-AWR1642. The dataset can be used by fellow researchers to reproduce the original work or to further explore other machine-learning problems in the domain of mmWave signals.

Format: .png format

Section 1: Device Configuration

• A commodity mmWave radar TI AWR1642, which integrates a 2 × 4 antenna array. The detailed information of it can be found at https://www.ti.com/product/AWR1642#:~:text=The%20AWR1642%20is%20an%20ideal,of%2076%20to%2081%20GHz.
• A TI DCA1000EVM data capture card is used to collect data from the mmWave device and send data to a laptop. The detailed information can be found at https://www.ti.com/tool/DCA1000EVM?keyMatch=DCA1000EVM.
• mmWave radar work at the frequency in the range of 77~81GHz. The sampling rate is fixed at 100 frames per second and each frame has 17 chirps.

Section 2: Data Format

We provide our mmWave data in heatmaps for the two datasets. The data file is in the png format. The details are shown in the following:

FA Dataset

• 14 activities are included in the FA Dataset.
• FA_d_p_i_u_j.png:
  • d represents the data to collect the data.
  • p represents the environment to collect the data.
  • i represents activity type index
  • u represents user id
  • j represents sample index
• Example:
  • FA_20220101_lab_1_2_3 represents the 3rd data sample of user 2 of activity 1 collected in the lab

EA Dataset

• 2 participants are included in the EA Dataset.
• 5 activities are included in the EA Dataset.

  • d represents the data to collect the data.
  • p represents the environment to collect the data.
  • i represents the activity type index
  • u represents the user id
  • j represents the sample index

Section 3: Experimental Setup

FA Dataset

• We place the mmWave device on a table with a height of 60cm.
• The participants are asked to perform fitness activity in front of a mmWave device with a distance of 2m.
• The data are collected at an lab with a size of (5.0m×3.0m).

EA Dataset

• We place the mmWave device on a table with a height of 60cm.
• The participants are asked to eat with different utensils (i.e., fork, fork&knife, spoon, chopsticks, bare hand) in front of a mmWave device with a distance of 1m.
• The data are collected at an lab with a size of (5.0m×3.0m).

Section 4: Data Description

• We develop a spatial-temporal heatmap to integrates multiple activity features, including the range of movement, velocity, and time duration of each activity repetition.

• We first derive the Doppler-range map of the users’ activity by calculating Range-FFT and Doppler-FFT. Then, we generate the spatial-temporal heatmap by accumulating the velocity of every distance in every Doppler-range map together. Next, we normalize the derived velocity information and present the velocity-distance relationship in time dimension. In this way, we transfer the original instantaneous velocity-distance relationship to a more comprehensive spatial-temporal heatmap which describes the process of a whole activity.

• As shown in Figure attached, in each spatial-temporal heatmap, the horizontal axis represents the time duration of an activity repetition while the vertical axis represents the range of movement. The velocity is represented by color.

• We create 2 folders to store two dataset respectively. In FA folder, there are 14 subfolders, each contains repetitions from the same fitness activity. In EA folder, there are 5 subfolders, each contains repetitions with different utensils.

Section 5: Raw Data and Data Processing Algorithms

• We also provide the mmWave raw data (.mat format) stored in the same folder corresponding to the heatmap datasets. Each .mat file can store one set of activity repetitions (e.g., 4 repetations) from a same user.
  • For example: EA_d_p_i_u_j.mat:
    • d represents the data to collect the data.
    • p represents the environment to collect the data.
    • i represents the activity type index
    • u represents the user id
    • j represents the set index
• We plan to provide the data processing algorithms (heatmap_generation.py) to load the mmWave raw data and generate the corresponding heatmap data.

AbstractHome range estimation is routine practice in ecological research. While advances in animal tracking technology have increased our capacity to collect data to support home range analysis, these same advances have also resulted in increasingly autocorrelated data. Consequently, the question of which home range estimator to use on modern, highly autocorrelated tracking data remains open. This question is particularly relevant given that most estimators assume independently sampled data. Here, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of autocorrelation on home range estimation. We base our study on an extensive dataset of GPS locations from 369 individuals representing 27 species distributed across 5 continents. We first assemble a broad array of home range estimators, including Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) with four bandwidth optimizers (Gaussian reference function, autocorrelated-Gaussian reference function (AKDE), Silverman's rule of thumb, and least squares cross-validation), Minimum Convex Polygon, and Local Convex Hull methods. Notably, all of these estimators except AKDE assume independent and identically distributed (IID) data. We then employ half-sample cross-validation to objectively quantify estimator performance, and the recently introduced effective sample size for home range area estimation ($\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$) to quantify the information content of each dataset. We found that AKDE 95\% area estimates were larger than conventional IID-based estimates by a mean factor of 2. The median number of cross-validated locations included in the holdout sets by AKDE 95\% (or 50\%) estimates was 95.3\% (or 50.1\%), confirming the larger AKDE ranges were appropriately selective at the specified quantile. Conversely, conventional estimates exhibited negative bias that increased with decreasing $\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$. To contextualize our empirical results, we performed a detailed simulation study to tease apart how sampling frequency, sampling duration, and the focal animal's movement conspire to affect range estimates. Paralleling our empirical results, the simulation study demonstrated that AKDE was generally more accurate than conventional methods, particularly for small $\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$. While 72\% of the 369 empirical datasets had \textgreater1000 total observations, only 4\% had an $\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$ \textgreater1000, where 30\% had an $\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$ \textless30. In this frequently encountered scenario of small $\hat{N}_\mathrm{area}$, AKDE was the only estimator capable of producing an accurate home range estimate on autocorrelated data.
