Custom dataset of YOUR object ($249)

Need data of YOUR object? Custom synthetic dataset, $249 USD -> order on Polar

• What you get: 2,000 labelled photoreal synthetic images (640x640 JPEG) of your own object or scenario (product, part, tool, drone, package, defect...), up to 3 classes, YOLO bounding boxes + data.yaml, train/val/test split, quality report
• Licence: commercial use allowed
• Price: $249 USD one-time; one round of adjustments included
• Delivery: typically 3-5 business days after we receive your reference photos + rough dimensions
• Optional sim-to-real test: send ~200 of your own labelled real images and we report how much the synthetic data improves a detector on them
• Refund: full refund if we cannot deliver your request (14-day refund policy)
• Limits: only objects you own or are allowed to use; no weapons or anything meant to harm people; no copied third-party 3D assets

Summary

Synthetic sky images of quadcopter drones with YOLO bounding boxes, for training drone detectors; the paid full edition can be used commercially.

• Best for: a cheap, clean starting set for drone-detection pre-training
• Not for: deploying a detector trained on synthetic images only

Quick start

# pip install huggingface_hub ultralytics
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
path = snapshot_download("quailrobot/drone-synth-v1-sample", repo_type="dataset")
from ultralytics import YOLO
YOLO("yolov8n.pt").train(data=f"{path}/data.yaml", epochs=50, imgsz=640)

Facts

• Task: object detection (YOLO format), single class
• Labels: 1 class: 0 drone; empty label file = true negative
• Full edition size: 5,000 images 640x640 (train 3,957 / val 513 / test 530) with YOLO labels (zip 83.3 MB)
• Free sample size: 300 images (train 241 / val 24 / test 35)
• Format: 640x640 JPEG images + YOLO txt labels + data.yaml (Ultralytics-ready)
• What's included (full edition): images/{train,val,test}, labels/{train,val,test}, data.yaml, README.md, LICENSE.txt
• Price: $19 USD; checkout may display the equivalent in your local currency
• Buy URL (primary): https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_VX2Z8vtVNWHLM1ILSpgcc399AFRq32SPEaxHy2LuonY
• Licence (full edition): LicenseRef-QuailModel-Commercial (commercial use allowed, no resale of the data)
• Licence (free sample): CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0
• Validation: Labels are computed from exact projected 3D mesh vertices with ray-cast occlusion checks (no hand labelling). No benchmark on real photos has been published for this dataset yet. (The published sim-to-real test used Drone v2 + Airspace v3, not v1.)
• Data source: 100% synthetic, generated by QuailModel with AI assistance (generator code written with an AI model)

Price & licence

• Full edition: $19 USD. One-time payment, instant download after checkout: https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_VX2Z8vtVNWHLM1ILSpgcc399AFRq32SPEaxHy2LuonY
• QuailModel Commercial Dataset Licence (SPDX: LicenseRef-QuailModel-Commercial): you may train, evaluate and ship models, including in commercial products. You may not resell or redistribute the dataset itself.
• Free sample (this page): CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 - free for non-commercial use.

Limitations

• No clutter (trees, buildings, birds) - Drone v2 adds these.
• Flat-looking ground, no motion blur, quadcopters only.

This free sample: 300 images (train 241 / val 24 / test 35). Full commercial edition: 5,000 images 640x640 (train 3,957 / val 513 / test 530) with YOLO labels (zip 83.3 MB). Fully synthetic data; summary, facts, validation and limitations are in the block above.

• Image size: 640x640 JPEG. Labels: YOLO txt, one class (0 = drone). Images with an empty label file are true negatives (43 of 300).
• data.yaml included - train directly with Ultralytics YOLO.
• Box size distribution (fraction of image width): median 0.082, 18% of boxes are smaller than 16 px.

How it was made

Original 3D models, procedurally generated and rendered with a physically based renderer under real-world lighting, with realistic camera effects. Labels are computed exactly from the 3D scene (no hand labelling).
