VarroaDataset 🐝

This is the repository for the VarroaDataset.

Purpose of this dataset is to provide high resolution images (160x280px) of honeybees, recorded in a controlled and constant environment.

We further provide:

• ~4000 manual annotations of honeybees infected with the parasite Varroa Destructor.
• Predefined dataset splits into: train, test and validation subsets

Creation Process

I. The dataset was recorded using the device presented in:

Schurischuster, S., Zambanini, S., Kampel, M. and Lamp, B., 2016, December. Sensor study for monitoring varroa mites on honey bees (apis mellifera). In Visual Observation and Analysis of Vertebrate and Insect Behavior Workshop.

II. Individual honeybees are detected and extracted from the recorded videos

III. Manual labeling of infected honeybees.

Usage

The overall dataset is organized as presented in the sample directory with sub-folders: train, test and val. Each of the sub-folders provides a gt.csv holding the manual annotations in the csv format for each line

[path_to_image_file] [label] [bounding_box_coordinate_top_left_0] [bounding_box_coordinate bottom_right_0] bounding_box_coordinate_top_left_1] [bounding_box_coordinate bottom_right_1] ... [bounding_box_coordinate_top_left_n] [bounding_box_coordinate bottom_right_n]
