UEC-Underwater Image Dataset

The UEC-Underwater Image Dataset is a collection of underwater images that was created by the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo, Japan. The dataset contains over 5,000 images and was designed for use in the development of image processing and computer vision algorithms for underwater environments.

The images were captured using a digital camera and range in resolution from 640x480 to 1280x720 pixels. They were taken in a variety of underwater environments, including coral reefs, rocky reefs, and sandy bottoms, and feature a range of marine life such as fish, turtles, and sea stars.

The dataset is annotated with object bounding boxes and object categories, making it useful for object detection and classification tasks. The annotations were created by experts in marine biology and underwater photography.

The UEC-Underwater Image Dataset is freely available for download and has been used in a number of research projects, including the development of underwater image enhancement algorithms, fish species recognition systems, and underwater robot vision systems.
