Multi-view drone tracking datasets
This repository contains datasets where a flying drone (hexacopter) is captured with multiple consumer-grade cameras (smartphones, compact cameras, gopro,...) with highly accurate 3D drone trajectory ground truth recorderd by a precise real-time RTK system from Fixposition. In some datasets, the ground truth temporal synchronization and ground truth camera locations are also provided. The table below gives a brief summary of what kind of data is available for each dataset.
| Dataset | 3D trajectory | Synchronization | Camera locations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | No | No |
| 2 | Yes | No | No |
| 3 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 4 | Yes | Yes | No |
We provide calibration parameters as well as calibration images for each camera. Each dataset contains also 2D detections of the drone provided by a simple algorithm based on background subtraction.
Installation
The videos have been split into multiple archives using zip. To extract, use 7z or other zip archive manager or run the provided script ./unpack.sh from the repository root directory which will extract all videos for you, provided that you have 7z installed.
Dataset 1
Easy dataset with short and slow flight.
| # of cameras | Flight duration |
|---|---|
| 4 | ~ 2min |
Dataset 2
Easy dataset with longer and faster flight.
| # of cameras | Flight duration |
|---|---|
| 4 | ~ 2.5min |
Dataset 3
Medium difficulty dataset with more cameras, long flight, various velocities and motion types.
| # of cameras | Flight duration |
|---|---|
| 6 | ~ 9min |
Dataset 4
High difficulty dataset with many cameras, fast motion and moving clouds making the detection harder.
| # of cameras | Flight duration |
|---|---|
| 7 | ~ 7min |
