  • The FGSD dataset (1846 images).
  • The Airbus Ship Detection Challenge (21 images).
  • Chinese satellites, such as GaoFen-2 and JiLin-1 (17 images).
• Ships in ShipRSImageNet are hierarchically classified into four levels (0-3) and 50 categories (49 ship types and "Dock").
• Level 0 distinguishes whether the object is a ship, namely "Class". Level 1 further classifies the ship object category, named as "Category". Level 2 further subdivides the categories based on level 1 ("Subcategory"). Level 3 is the specific type of ship, named "Type".
• The ShipRSImageNet was divided in training, validation and test sets which contain 64% (2198), 16% (550) and 20% (687) of the original images respectively.
• Each ship instance has a corresponding set of annotations which are:
  • A horizontal bounding box ↦ (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).
  • An oriented bounding box ↦ (xc, yc, w, h, θ).
  • A polygon annotation ↦ (x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4).
• The above annotations are available in Pascal VOC and MS COCO dataset formats.

13. S2-SHIPS<a name="S2ships"></a>

• This dataset includes 16 L2A (BOA reflectance) images of coastline, ports, and the Suez canal.
• These images were derived from the original Sentinel-2 images and their dimensions are 1783 × 938 pixels.
• The above images contain 1053 distinct ship instances with varying sizes from 100-5000 m².
• Every image is a different scene for which they are available:
  • The 12 atmospherically corrected Sentinel-2 bands (.tiff).
  • The NDWI index in .tiff and .png file formats.
  • A true color image in .tiff and .jpg file formats.
  • A RGB image (.png).
  • The image's segmentation mask (.png).
  • A water mask (.tiff).
• The above georeferenced images (.tiffs) they are all reprojected to EPSG 3857 and their datatype is UInt16.
• The georeferenced images of the scenes have the same spatial resolution which is ≈10 m.
• The segmentation masks where provided also in the Numpy file format (.npy).
• An annotation .json file with segmentation masks and horizontal bounding boxes is also provided.
• The above annotations follow the conventions of the MS COCO dataset format.
• This dataset contains 3 classes with ids ∈ {1, 3, 4} which are named 'Ship', 'Doubt' and 'Moored Ship' respectively.
• Also 6 pretrained backbones are provided (.pth files).

14. GF1-LRSD<a name="GF1LRSD"></a>

• The images in this dataset were obtained from level 1A Gaofen-1 (WFV) scenes.
• GF1-LRSD consists of 4406 images of size 512x512 pixels with 8-bit color depth.
• The above images contain a total of 7172 ship instances.
• The spatial resolution of the images equals to 16m per pixel.
• For the annotation of the targets, horizontal rectangular boxes were used which follow the PASCAL VOC format.
• Every rectangular box is defined by the coordinates of its top-left and the bottom-right points (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).

15. VHRShips<a name="VHRShips"></a>

• VHRShips contains 6312 images from 52 locations collected from Google Earth.
• The above dataset includes 1000 images without a ship and 5312 images with single or multiple ships.
• All images were collected at 500m eye altitude level and in the high-definition spatial resolution format (Google Earth).
• These images artificially have the same spatial resolution of 43cm per pixel.
• The above images have 3 channels (rgb) and their dimensions equal to 720x1280 pixels.
• Every ship instance has a corresponding horizontal bounding box.
• The above annotations are defined by the coordinates of their top-left and the bottom-right points.
• VHRShips dataset includes 11.179 ship instances in 24 parent and 11 child ship categories.
• The parent classes contain one class regarding navy vessels and 23 other classes with civilian ship types.
• Only the "navy" parent class contains 11 child classes (Frigate, Submarine, etc.).

16. SDS (Dataset for Ship Detection and Segmentation)<a name="SDS"></a>

• The dataset contains 1984 images of harbors, shorelines, shallow waters, and vast oceans.
• These data collected under various conditions such as shooting time, ship location, and climate variations.
• The above images have dimensions of 3000 × 3000 pixels and were collected from the Google Earth platform.
• These images contain a total of 13.487 ship instances.
