The Aerial Elephant Dataset: A new public benchmark for aerial object detection.

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } <pre>The dataset consists of 2101 images containing a total of 15 511 elephants. It is split into training and test subsets with 1649 images containing 12455 elephants in the training set and 452 images containing 3056 elephants in the test set. The resolution of the images varies between 2.4 cm/pixel and 13 cm/pixel, but the nominal resolution for each image is specified in the accompanying metadata, so it is a simple matter to resample images to a consistent GSD. Because acquired images often overlap, the same individuals may sometimes be seen in 2 or 3 consecutive images. Care has been taken with the train/test split to ensure that such clusters of related images are not split, thus maintaining independence of the training and test sets. </pre> <pre><br></pre> <pre>These images were acquired over the course of 8 separate campaigns in different environments.</pre><pre><br></pre>
