Short summary
The Ground Visible Camera Contrail Sequences (GVCCS) dataset provides annotated video sequences of aircraft contrails recorded by a ground-based camera in the visible spectrum. Each contrail is segmented, tracked, and, where possible, attributed to individual flights. A baseline model based on panoptic segmentation is also provided to demonstrate instance-level detection. This dataset enables empirical analysis of contrail lifecycle and supports the validation and calibration of physical models.
