Aerial Person Detection Test Set

Aerial Person Test Dataset This restricted-access Zenodo record contains the complete held-out Aerial Person Test Dataset used for external evaluation in the study. The archive includes the extracted test image frames, corresponding YOLO-format annotation files, dataset configuration files, source-provenance metadata, licensing and reuse notes, traceability information, and privacy/ethics documentation. The dataset was developed for evaluating person detection models in aerial, drone, webcam, and top-view imagery. It contains 500 test images and 50,722 annotated instances of the person class. The dataset was used exclusively for external evaluation and was not included in model training, validation, hyperparameter tuning, or model selection. The dataset contains a single class: 0 - person The annotations follow the YOLO object detection format: class_id x_center y_center width height All bounding-box coordinates are normalized to the interval [0, 1]. The visual material was collected from several web-based sources, including Pexels, Vecteezy, YouTube, Webcam Romania, SkylineWebcams, Bouwwebcam, and See Transylvania, where applicable. The images were initially pre-annotated using a YOLO-based person detection pipeline. All generated annotations were manually reviewed and corrected in Label Studio before export to YOLO format. This record is provided under restricted access. The files are not publicly downloadable. Access requests are evaluated individually by the record owners. No public redistribution license is granted. Any approved use must comply with the applicable copyright conditions, licenses, and terms of use of the original source platforms, creators, camera operators, and rights holders. Redistribution of the original image frames, videos, annotations, metadata, or derived dataset components is not permitted without prior approval from the record owners and without compliance with the terms of the original sources.
