AMOS - The Archive of Many Outdoor Scenes

What is AMOS?

• A collection of long-term time lapse imagery from publicly accessible outdoor web cams around the world
• Explore how to use these images to learn about the world around us
• Understanding changes in natural environments and understanding how people use public spaces

How does AMOS work?

• This dataset is unique in that it contains images from significantly more scenes than in previous work
• Images from each camera are captured several times per hour using a custom web crawler
• We use the format yyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg (4 digits for year, and 2 digits each for month, day, hour minute, and second)
