AerialYield-B2D: A Greenhouse Blueberry Dataset with Five-Stage Ripeness Masks and Fruit Counts

arXiv:2608.16973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Blueberry ripeness is judged by berry colour, cluster composition, and the distribution of maturity stages within a plant, however, public green house image resources with dense ripeness-stage masks remain limited. We present AerialYield-B2D, where B2D denotes BlueBerry Dataset, acurated real-image resource containing 514 RGB images and 30,195 annotated blueberry instances across five ripeness stages: green immature, pale pink, pink-turns-purple, fully ripe and over-ripe. The release provides class-specific binary masks, overall berry masks, semantic label maps, image-level count tables, SHA-256 hashes, source metadata, recommended train/validation/test splits and technical validations. AerialYield is the broader project name; this release does not provide harvest weight, fruit mass or per-area yield measurements, and the count labels should therefore be interpreted as image-level berry counts rather than yield estimates. The images include 424 smartphone greenhouse images, 67 video-derived frames, and 23 DJI Fly video-frame samples, providing a reproducible dataset for ripeness segmentation, berry counting, and class-imbalance analysis in controlled-environment blueberry production.
