Overhead Imagery Research Data Set
{{Use dmy dates|date=May 2023}}
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.[http://oirds.sourceforge.net Overhead Imagery Research Data Set (OIRDS) – an annotated data library & tools to aid in the development of computer vision algorithms] Most computer vision and machine learning algorithms function by training on a large set of example data.Caltech 101 Wikipedia article, Caltech 101 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.Google Permissions – http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html
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 [http://www.usgs.gov USGS] and [http://www.darpa.mil/ipto/Programs/vivid/vivid.asp VIVID] images. All
of these images are color RGB images. The annotations that describe the images are documented in detail in.F. Tanner, B. Colder, C. Pullen, D. Heagy, C. Oertel, & P. Sallee, Overhead Imagery Research Data Set (OIRDS) – an annotated data library and tools to aid in the development of computer vision algorithms, June 2009, <{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/oirds/index.php?title=Documentation |title=SourceForge.net: Vehicles Documentation – oirds |accessdate=2009-12-28 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121109142328/http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/oirds/index.php?title=Documentation |archivedate=9 November 2012 }}> (8 June 2009)
Current status
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.
