Below you will find a list of the files available and a short description of the contents of each.

DATA FILES (BMP):
\Data\S5_bmp\S5_SHIP_#.bmp: 106 BMP image files, each representing a single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S5. (# = Ref, and 1-105)

\Data\S7_bmp\Ir_#.bmp: 76 BMP image files, each representing a single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S7. (# = Ref, and 3885-3959)

\Data\S8_bmp\Ir_#.bmp: 30 BMP image files, each representing a single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S8. (# = Ref, and 4629-4657)

\Data\S9_bmp\Ir_#.bmp: 10 BMP image files, each representing a single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S9. (# = Ref, and 4358-4366)


DATA FILES (CSV):
\Data\S5_bmp\S5_SHIP_#.csv: 105 comma-delimited ASCII text files (CSV) associated with the BMP single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S5. These CSV files contain metadata (in the first 5 rows) and temperature data for their associated BMP file. (# = 1-105)

\Data\S7_bmp\Ir_#.csv: 75 comma-delimited ASCII text files (CSV) associated with the BMP single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S7. These CSV files contain temperature data for their associated BMP file. (# = 3885-3959)

\Data\S8_bmp\Ir_#.csv: 29 comma-delimited ASCII text files (CSV) associated with the BMP single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S8. These CSV files contain temperature data for their associated BMP file. (# = 4629-4657)

\Data\S9_bmp\Ir_#.csv: 9 comma-delimited ASCII text files (CSV) associated with the BMP single image captured by the infrared camera on the super highly instrumented plots at S9. These CSV files contain temperature data for their associated BMP file. (# = 4358-4366)

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTENTS OF THESE *.CSV files:
A header is present in only the S5 *.csv files (S7, S8, and S8 all have time stamp files that provide the time the image was taken). Header information includes:
Row 1: File name = path where the data were originally stored.
Row 2: Units = Temperature (Celsius).
Row 3: Time = day of year:hours:minutes:seconds (ddd:hh:mm:ss.ssssss) when image was taken. (Time is GMT + 00:00 or Zulu time).
Row 4: Framenumber = sequential order of the images (e.g. frame = image).
Row 5: Preset = a default header output. It is meaningless in this dataset hence always zero. (It is used to define specific parameters available with other FLIR camera platforms.)

Data within all *.CSV files:
Row 1 (or Row 7): The temperature value array is 320 columns by 240 rows. The temperature value array directly corresponds to the resolution (pixel) of the image produced by the infrared camera. The array represents coordinates (x,y) and temperature values (z) for each pixel in the image. Default numeric values are input into the array as 299.998 Celcius (C) (for S5) or 300.0 C (for S7-S9). A value matching the default means that the camera did not detect a temperature greater than the default for that particular pixel. The temperature range calibrated in this data set is 300-1500 C. Values outside the range of 300-1500 C are not calibrated and should be ignored.


ADDITIONAL DATA FILES (CSV):
\Data\S7_bmp\S7_SHIP_TimeStamp.csv: Comma-delimited ASCII text file (CSV) that lists the S7 IR_# filenames and the timestamp associated with that image (hh:mm:ss, where hh=hour, mm=minutes, and ss=seconds).

\Data\S8_bmp\S8_SHIP_TimeStamp.csv: Comma-delimited ASCII text file (CSV) that lists the S8 IR_# filenames and the timestamp associated with that image (hh:mm:ss, where hh=hour, mm=minutes, and ss=seconds).

\Data\S9_bmp\S9_SHIP_TimeStamp.csv: Comma-delimited ASCII text file (CSV) that lists the S9 IR_# filenames and the timestamp associated with that image (hh:mm:ss, where hh=hour, mm=minutes, and ss=seconds).

* Note: we do not have a time stamp file for S5 because the information is contained within the header of these files.
