Overhead Imagery Research Data Set

The Overhead Imagery Research Data Set (OIRDS) is a collection of an open-source, annotated, overhead images that computer vision researchers can use to aid in the development of algorithms.[1] Most computer vision and machine learning algorithms function by training on a large set of example data.[2] 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 (if any) 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.[3]

Vehicle Data Set

The initial ~1,000 images in the OIRDS is focused on an Automatic Target Detection (ATD) task for passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles in the OIRDS consist of cars, trucks, vans, & pick-ups. The vehicle data set is composed of USGS and VIVID images. All of these images are color RGB images. The annotations that describe the images are documented in detail in.[4]

Current status

OIRDS v1.0 was released in September, 2009. This version contains ~900 annotated images with ~1800 targets identified.[1]

Limitations

The current OIRDS data set only has vehicle annotations. It does not include other target types. Additionally, recent trends in computer vision include image context for many detection and classification problems. While researchers are encouraged to provide those annotations, they are not currently provided.[4]
