M3OT:A Multi-Drone Multi-Modality dataset for Multi-Object Tracking

We provide a dataset for target detection and tracking in aerial imagery-M3OT, a multimodal vehicle detection and tracking dataset acquired by two Unmanned Aerial Vehicles（UAVs) in a high altitude region. The dataset consists of both RGB and infrared thermal (IR) modalities, with two drones` altitudes ranging from 100m to 120m. The dataset consists of 21,580 frames extracted from 8 hours of video, 10790 paired RGB- Infrared thermal (IR) images from two UAVs, and 220,000 bounding boxes across various environments, including suburban, urban, daytime, dusk, and night. This dataset can serve as a benchmark for object detection, multiple object tracking, and other computer vision tasks.
