Tabuhan Island Reef Dataset 🌊🐠

This dataset contains underwater reef imagery and 3D point cloud data collected at Tabuhan Island, Indonesia, using a GoPro Hero 13. It is intended for use in marine research, computer vision, and reef monitoring applications (e.g., photogrammetry, habitat mapping, AI-based coral detection).

📂 Dataset Structure

1. raw.zip

• —Size: ~6590 images
• —Description: The original raw images captured at the reef site.
• —Organization:
• —left/ → Images taken from the left side of transects
• —right/ → Images taken from the right side of transects

2. images.zip

• —Size: ~6590 images
• —Description: The same raw images but color-corrected to account for underwater lighting, refraction, and blue–green wavelength absorption.
• —Purpose: Ready-to-use for training ML/DL models on coral recognition, habitat mapping, and classification tasks.

3. pointcloud.ply

• —Format: .ply
• —Description: A 3D point cloud reconstruction of the reef site, derived from the image set.
• —Applications: Useful for 3D reef structure analysis, habitat complexity studies, and digital twin creation.

🛠 Potential Applications

• —Marine Ecology: Coral cover estimation, reef structure quantification
• —Computer Vision: Semantic segmentation, object detection of coral and fish species
• —3D Modeling: Reconstruction of reef habitats for virtual surveys and monitoring
• —AI Training Data: Pretraining or finetuning models for underwater imagery

⚠️ Notes

• —The dataset is large (~20GB). Downloading may take time depending on your connection.
• —Ensure sufficient storage and extract .zip files before use.
• —This dataset is open source — free to use, share, and build upon.
• —Attribution is appreciated but not required.
