VDD is a dataset featuring varied scenes, camera angles and weather/light conditions of UAV images. We provide 400 pixel-level annotated images with high resolution. Images are categorized into 7 classes: Wall, Roof, Road, Water, Vehicle, Vegetation and Others. We fouc on variance in this dataset.
Scene variance Many typical scenes are included in VDD dataset:
- Municipal residential zones, villas, school and college buildings, and hospitals
- Highways and roads,
- Facilities like gyms cantenn and libraries
- Natural scenes: rivers, lakes and mountains
- Rural areas: villages and farm fields
Time & Light condition variance
The example images are taken in spring and summer, where light conditions and vegetation changes. There is also a set of photos of the same object but taken at morning and evening respectively.
Camera angle variance
Photos are taken with fixed camera angles: 30, 60 and 90(bird view) degrees.
