Public prices involving National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology
- Rough-sea follow-up dataset for finding people overboard: at least 1,800 annotated 4K drone images (150 or more per class) shot in Beaufort force 4 to 7 sea exercises, with the raw video (Taiwan National Academy of Marine Research)
Same buyer and winner as the 2025 overboard dataset, at the full budget. The price includes ships, a support vessel and safety crew for rough-sea exercises and the raw footage, so the per-image figure is all-in for collection plus annotation; the count is a minimum, so the per-image figure is a ceiling.
