Alberta River Ice Segmentation Dataset

This dataset provides digital images and videos of surface ice conditions were collected from two Alberta rivers - North Saskatchewan River and Peace River - in the 2016-2017 winter seasons.

Images from North Saskatchewan River were collected using both Reconyx PC800 Hyperfire Professional game cameras mounted on two bridges in Edmonton as well as a Blade Chroma UAV equipped with a CGO3 4K camera at the Genesee boat launch.

Data for the Peace River was collected using only the UAV at the Dunvegan Bridge boat launch and Shaftesbury Ferry crossing.

The game camera captured 3.1 megapixels resolution still images at one-minute frequency while the UAV camera captured 4K videos (8.3 megapixels) of up to 10 minutes duration.

It includes 50 manually labeled images with pixel-wise labels for 3 claases- anchor ice, frazil ice and water.

Large 3840x2160 UAV images were cropped into several 1280x1080 images to make labeling more convenient while the smaller 2048x1536 game camera images were only cropped to remove text information added by the camera software.
