{"url":"/dataset/sunspotsyolodataset","name":"SunspotsYoloDataset: annotated solar images captured with smart telescopes (January 2023 - May 2024)","full_name":null,"description_markdown":"SunspotsYoloDataset is a set of 1690+380+128 high-resolution RGB astronomical images captured with smart telescopes with specific solar filters and annotated with the positions of sunspots that are effectively in the images. Two instruments were used for several months from Luxembourg and France between January 2023 and May 2024: a Stellina smart telescope (https://vaonis.com/stellina) and a Vespera smart telescope (https://vaonis.com/vespera).\r\n\r\nSunspotsYoloDataset  can be used to train YOLO detection models on solar images, enabling the prediction of unexpected events such as Borealis Aurora with astronomical equipment accessible to the public.\r\n\r\nSunspotsYoloDataset is formatted with the YOLO standard, i.e., with separated files for images and annotations, usable by state-of-the-art training tools and graphical software like MakeSense (https://www.makesense.ai). More precisely, there is a ZIP file containing RGB images in JPEG format (minimal compression), and text files containing the positions of sunspots. Each RGB image has a resolution of 640 × 640 pixels.\r\n\r\nFor more details about the dataset, please contact the author: olivier.parisot@list.lu .\r\n\r\nFor more information about Luxembourg of Science and Technology (LIST), please consult: https://www.list.lu .","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.11208094","introduced_date":"2024-05-21","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":null,"license":{"name":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":null},"modalities":[],"tasks":[{"name":"Object Detection","url":"/task/object-detection","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/object-detection"}],"languages":[],"variants":["SunspotsYoloDataset: annotated solar images captured with smart telescopes (January 2023 - May 2024)"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":1,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-25T09:33:49+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
