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)
