VisDrone2019-DET Toolkit for Object Detection in Images
Introduction
This is the documentation of the VisDrone2018 competitions development kit for object detection in images (DET) challenge.
This code library is for research purpose only, which is modified based on the PASCAL VOC [1] and MS-COCO [2] platforms.
The code is tested on the Windows 10 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 systems, with the Matlab 2013a/2014b/2016b/2017b platforms.
If you have any questions, please contact us (email:tju.drone.vision@gmail.com).

Dataset
For DET competition, there are three sets of data and labels: training data, validation data, and test-challenge data. There is no overlap between the three sets.
Number of images
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dataset Training Validation Test-Challenge
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Object detection in images 6,471 images 548 images 1,580 images
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The challenge requires a participating algorithm to locate the target bounding boxes in each image. The objects to be detected are of various types including pedestrians, cars, buses, and trucks. We manually annotate the bounding boxes of different objects and ignored regiones in each image. Annotations on the training and validation sets are publicly available.
The link for downloading the data can be obtained by registering for the challenge at

The notes for the folders:
evalDET.m is the main function used to evaluate your detector -please modify the dataset path and result path -use "isImgDisplay" to display the groundtruth and detections
DET Submission Format
Submission of the results will consist of TXT files with one line per predicted object.It looks as follows:
<bbox_left>,<bbox_top>,<bbox_width>,<bbox_height>,<score>,<object_category>,<truncation>,<occlusion>
Name Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<bbox_left> The x coordinate of the top-left corner of the predicted bounding box
<bbox_top> The y coordinate of the top-left corner of the predicted object bounding box
<bbox_width> The width in pixels of the predicted object bounding box
<bbox_height> The height in pixels of the predicted object bounding box
<score> The score in the DETECTION file indicates the confidence of the predicted bounding box enclosing
an object instance.
The score in GROUNDTRUTH file is set to 1 or 0. 1 indicates the bounding box is considered in evaluation,
while 0 indicates the bounding box will be ignored.
<object_category> The object category indicates the type of annotated object, (i.e., ignored regions(0), pedestrian(1),
people(2), bicycle(3), car(4), van(5), truck(6), tricycle(7), awning-tricycle(8), bus(9), motor(10),
others(11))
<truncation> The score in the DETECTION result file should be set to the constant -1.
The score in the GROUNDTRUTH file indicates the degree of object parts appears outside a frame
(i.e., no truncation = 0 (truncation ratio 0%), and partial truncation = 1 (truncation ratio 1% ~ 50%)).
<occlusion> The score in the DETECTION file should be set to the constant -1.
The score in the GROUNDTRUTH file indicates the fraction of objects being occluded (i.e., no occlusion = 0
(occlusion ratio 0%), partial occlusion = 1 (occlusion ratio 1% ~ 50%), and heavy occlusion = 2
(occlusion ratio 50% ~ 100%)).
The detections in the ignored regions or labeled as "others" will be not considered in evaluation. The sample submission of the Faster-RCNN detector can be found in our website.
