DRUVA: Dataset of Real-world Underwater Videos of Artifacts

Dataset proposed in "Self-supervised Monocular Underwater Depth Recovery, Image Restoration, and a Real-sea Video Dataset", IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), Paris, France, pp. 12248-12258, October 2023.

Summary of DRUVA

1. DRUVA contains video sequences of 20 different artifacts (artifacts are mainly submerged rocks of dimension 0.5 meter to 1 meter) in shallow waters.
2. There are 20 videos in all, one for each artifact. The videos are approximately 1 minute long and contain an almost 360◦ azimuthal view of the artifacts at a depth of 0.5 meter to 4 meters from the camera.
3. DRUVA is captured using GoPro Hero 10 Black camera with 30 fps and 1920 × 1080 resolution. Camera intrinsics are provided.
4. DRUVA can be used by underwater (UW) researchers for 3D reconstruction, novel view-synthesis using neural radiance fields (NeRFs), video interpolation, and extrapolation, to name a few.
