ICPR2018 Contest on Object Detection in Aerial Images (ODAI-18)
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
Object detection in aerial images plays a significant role in intelligent interpretation of aerial images. Hence many effective methods, especially the new-generation data-driven methods, have been developed for this task. Here, we hold the ODAI, a new contest that focused on object detection in aerial images, based on a new large-scale aerial image dataset called DOTA [1]. This contest contains over 3000 large-size images (4k\times 4k pixels), which cover 211,581 instances divided into 15 categories. Each instance is labeled by an arbitrary (8 d.o.f.) quadrilateral. Besides, we propose two tasks for this contest, named object detection with the horizontal bounding box (OD-HBB) and object detection with the oriented bounding box (OD-OBB). The contest was opened on February 7, 2018, and ended on April 30, 2018. A website is open to the public, which provides links to download data and evaluation server. We have totally received 60 registrations. There are 8 teams that have successfully submitted results on the OD-HBB task with the top mAP as 0.719, and 9 teams that have successfully submitted results on the OD-OBB task with the top mAP as 0.705. Through the contest, we hope to draw extensive attention from a wide range of communities and call for more future research and efforts for the task of object detection in aerial images.
