Wind Turbine Detection (by Noah Vriese)

Introduction #

Released 2022-12-16 ·Noah Vriese

The author of the Wind Turbine Detection via YOLOv7 dataset developed a wind turbine object detection model using raw LANDSAT and NAIP satellite imagery. The model was based on a transfer learning approach from the state-of-the-art YOLOv7 architecture. The primary goal of this model was to automate on-shore U.S. wind turbine count estimations.

Currently, the U.S. Wind Turbine Database and other state-of-the-art databases that monitor wind turbine development in the United States offer exceptional accuracy but suffer from poor temporal resolution, typically updating quarterly. In contrast, the developed model, when combined with recent satellite imagery data, can provide more frequent and up-to-date estimates of on-shore wind resources in the U.S. This can be of great value for both foreign and domestic investors, as well as government officials, especially in regions undergoing ongoing wind turbine development.

Summary #

Wind Turbine Detection via YOLOv7 is a dataset for an object detection task. Possible applications of the dataset could be in the energy industry.

The dataset consists of 5215 images with 10063 labeled objects belonging to 1 single class (turbine).

Images in the Wind Turbine Detection (by Noah Vriese) dataset have bounding box annotations. There are 1555 (30% of the total) unlabeled images (i.e. without annotations). There are 3 splits in the dataset: train (4629 images), valid (415 images), and test (171 images). The dataset was released in 2022.
