Detection and Tracking Meet Drones Challenge

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Drones, or general UAVs, equipped with cameras have been fast deployed with a wide range of applications, including agriculture, aerial photography, and surveillance. We expect the benchmark largely boost the research and development in video analysis on drone platforms.

🔑 Key Findings

• Consequently, automatic understanding of visual data collected from drones becomes highly demanding, bringing computer vision and drones more and more closely.
• To promote and track the developments of object detection and tracking algorithms, we have organized three challenge workshops in conjunction with ECCV 2018, ICCV 2019 and ECCV 2020, attracting more than 100 teams around the world.
• We provide a large-scale drone captured dataset, VisDrone, which includes four tracks, i.e., (1) image object detection, (2) video object detection, (3) single object tracking, and (4) multi-object tracking.
