The Overhead Imagery Research Data Set (OIRDS) is a collection of an open-source, annotated, overhead images that computer vision researchers can use to aid in the development of algorithms.
[1] Most computer vision and machine learning algorithms function by training on a large set of example data.
[3] The initial ~1,000 images in the OIRDS is focused on an Automatic Target Detection (ATD) task for passenger vehicles.
Passenger vehicles in the OIRDS consist of cars, trucks, vans, & pick-ups.
Additionally, recent trends in computer vision include image context for many detection and classification problems.
