The "CloudPatch-7 Hyperspectral Dataset" comprises a manually curated collection of hyperspectral images, focused on pixel classification of atmospheric cloud classes. This labeled dataset features 380 patches, each a 50x50 pixel grid, derived from 28 larger, unlabeled parent images approximately 4402-by-1600 pixels in size. Captured using the Resonon PIKA XC2 camera, these images span 462 spectral bands from 400 to 1000 nm.
This dataset includes 30 hyperspectral cloud images captured during the Summer and Fall of 2022 at Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, USA (Latitude N, Longitude W) using aResonon Pika XC2 Hyperspectral Imaging Camera. Utilizing the Spectronon software, the images were recorded with integration times between 9.0-12.0 ms, a frame rate of approximately 45 Hz, and a scan rate of 0.93 degrees per second. The images are calibrated to give spectral radiance in microflicks at 462 spectral bands in the 400 – 1000 nm wavelength region with a spectral resolution of 1.9 nm.
