Point Reyes Lighthouse Restoration Project: The Lighthouse Surrounded by a "Shroud" - December 1, 2018

description

Summary

By December 1, 2018, contractors had surrounded the lighthouse tower in a "shroud." The "shroud," made of nylon reinforced weatherproof fabric, provides several protective measures, which include capturing sand blasted materials to prevent them from being released into the environment, protecting the cast iron tower from rain and salt spray, and creating a work environment that is more protected from harsh weather conditions. However, a wind storm shredded one section of the shroud.

The collection/dataset uses media from the world's largest public domain source Picryl.com. It is made in two steps - first manually picked, and then, found semi-automatically, with aid of image recognition, it comprises of more than 5,000 images. Everything in the collection is in the public domain, so there is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
