Archive of Many Outdoor Scenes (AMOS)

A dataset containing hundreds of millions of images gathered from publicly available outdoor webcams.

Dataset Access

If you want access to the AMOS dataset, please submit a request. This is a large (~55 TB), messy dataset. If you want something smaller and cleaner, you may be interested in the SkyFinder Dataset. It contains AMOS images from a subset of stable cameras.
