LADD: Lacmus Drone Dataset

Introduction #

Mikhail Shuranov, Denis Shurenkov, Dmitry Ruzhitskyet al.

The LADD: Lacmus Drone Dataset dataset was developed by non-profit search and rescue volunteer organizations with a focus on locating missing individuals, collecting the data using drones, and employing machine learning tools for labeling. These images were captured from an altitude of 40-50 meters above the ground, and they portray individuals in different poses.

The authors engaged in extensive discussions with various search engines and rescuers in an attempt to comprehend the visual characteristics of a person lost in a forest when viewed from an aerial perspective. Consequently, they accumulated unique statistics pertaining to 24 common positions where missing individuals are typically located. The initial version of the dataset comprises more than 400 images. The data collection process primarily utilized DJI Mavic Pro and Phantom drones, operating at altitudes ranging from 50 to 100 meters, with image resolutions set at 3000x4000 pixels and an average human-size representation of 50x100 pixels.

In total, the dataset comprises 1365 images, and the annotations for LADD are accessible in VOC format, specifically using Xmax, Ymax, Xmin, Ymin coordinates, as well as in YOLO format, using XYWH values.

Please, note that the dataset is constantly updating, and this version is relevant as of October, 2023.

Summary #

LADD: Lacmus Drone Dataset is a dataset for an object detection task. It is used in the search and rescue (SAR) industry.

The dataset consists of 1365 images with 4733 labeled objects belonging to 1 single class (pedestrian).

Images in the LADD: Lacmus Drone Dataset dataset have bounding box annotations. All images are labeled (i.e. with annotations). There are no pre-defined train/val/test splits in the dataset. The dataset was released in 2023 by the Lacmus Project, Russia.
