Detecting and Tracking Small and Dense Moving Objects in Satellite Videos: A Benchmark

This is the official website of the VISO (VIdeo Satellite Objects) dataset. [Google Drive][BaiduYun](Sharing code: viso)

(1) Data

This dataset is a large-scale dataset for moving object detection and tracking in satellite videos, which consists of 40 satellite videos captured by Jilin-1 satellite platforms. Each image has a resolution of 12000x5000 and contains a great number of objects with different scales. Four common types of vechicles, including plane, car, ship, and train, are manually-labeled. A total of 853,911 instances are labeled by axis-aligned bounding boxes.

(2) Benchmark

We also build a new satellite video benchmark to fairly and extensively evaluate the performance of existing methods in several sub-tasks, including moving object detection, single-object tracking, and multi-object tracking.

Moving Object Detection:

Single Object Tracking:

Multiple Object Tracking:
