AI总结：
本文发布面向无人机人员与车辆检测的高空红外热成像数据集 HIT-UAV，包含多场景图像、飞行元数据及两类边界框标注，并验证成熟检测算法在其上的优异性能。
摘要：
我们提出了 HIT-UAV 数据集，这是一个用于无人机（UAV）目标检测应用的高空红外热成像数据集。该数据集包含 2,898 张红外热成像图像，这些图像提取自无人机在学校、停车场、道路和操场等多种场景中拍摄的数百个视频中的 43,470 帧。此外，HIT-UAV 为每张图像提供必要的飞行数据，例如飞行高度、相机视角、日期和日光强度。对于每张图像，我们使用两种类型的边界框（有向边界框和标准边界框）手动标注了目标实例，以应对航空图像中目标实例显著重叠的挑战。据我们所知，HIT-UAV 是首个公开可用的、基于高空无人机的红外热成像数据集，用于检测人员和车辆。我们在 HIT-UAV 上训练并评估了多种成熟的目标检测算法。我们的结果表明，与可见光数据集相比，检测算法在 HIT-UAV 上表现异常出色，因为红外热成像图像不包含关于目标的显著无关信息。我们相信 HIT-UAV 将为各种基于无人机的应用和研究作出贡献。该数据集可在 https://github.com/suojiashun/HIT-UAV-Infrared-Thermal-Dataset 免费获取。
英文摘要：
We present the HIT-UAV dataset, a high-altitude infrared thermal dataset for object detection applications on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The dataset comprises 2,898 infrared thermal images extracted from 43,470 frames in hundreds of videos captured by UAVs in various scenarios including schools, parking lots, roads, and playgrounds. Moreover, the HIT-UAV provides essential flight data for each image, such as flight altitude, camera perspective, date, and daylight intensity. For each image, we have manually annotated object instances with bounding boxes of two types (oriented and standard) to tackle the challenge of significant overlap of object instances in aerial images. To the best of our knowledge, the HIT-UAV is the first publicly available high-altitude UAV-based infrared thermal dataset for detecting persons and vehicles. We have trained and evaluated well-established object detection algorithms on the HIT-UAV. Our results demonstrate that the detection algorithms perform exceptionally well on the HIT-UAV compared to visual light datasets since infrared thermal images do not contain significant irrelevant information about objects. We believe that the HIT-UAV will contribute to various UAV-based applications and researches. The dataset is freely available at https://github.com/suojiashun/HIT-UAV-Infrared-Thermal-Dataset.
