UAVVaste: COCO-like dataset and effective waste detection in aerial images

UAVVaste dataset

The UAVVaste dataset consists to date of 772 images and 3718 annotations. The main motivation for the creation of the dataset was the lack of domain-specific data. Therefore, this image set is recommended for object detection evaluation benchmarking but also for developing solutions related to UAVs, remote sensing, or even environmental cleaning. The dataset is made publicly available and will be expanded.

The dataset is a part of the research paper: ,,Autonomous, Onboard Vision-Based Trash and Litter Detection in Low Altitude Aerial Images Collected by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle'' Marek Kraft, Mateusz Piechocki, Bartosz Ptak and Krzysztof Walas - MDPI Remote Sensing.

Usage
