VME Dataset
Vehicles in the Middle East (VME) is a satellite imagery dataset built for vehicle detection in the Middle East.
VME images (satellite_images folder) are under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license and available for download on Zenodo repository, we also release VME ground-truth annotations and the scripts associated for constructing CDSI (annotations_HBB, annotations_OBB, CDSI_construction_scripts) under CC BY 4.0 license which are available on Zenodo repository and here.
This repository consists of:
- VME_annotations, which has:
- annotations_OBB: It holds TXT files in YOLO format with Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) annotations. Each annotation file is named after the corresponding image name.
- annotations_HBB: This component contains HBB annotation files in JSON file formatted in MS-COCO format defined by four values in pixels (x_min, y_min, width, height) of training, validation, and test splits.
- satellite_images: This folder consists of VME images of size 512x512 in PNG format. (The VME images are available in the Zenodo repository)
