Overhead Imagery Research Data Set
The Overhead Imagery Research Data Set is a collection of an open-source, annotated, overhead images that computer vision researchers can use to aid in the development of algorithms. Most computer vision and machine learning algorithms function by training on a large set of example data. Further, for many academic and industry researchers, the availability of truth-labeled test data helps drive algorithm research.
While a great deal of terrestrial imagery is available on the Internet from various sources, there are few repositories of overhead imagery. The limited overhead imagery that is found via sources such as Google Earth or Google Maps is copyrighted or may have limited use.
Vehicle Data Set
The initial ~1,000 images in the OIRDS is focused on an Automatic Target Detection task for passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles in the OIRDS consist of cars, trucks, vans, & pick-ups. The vehicle data set is composed of and images. Allof these images are color RGB images. The annotations that describe the images are documented in detail in.
