BioDrone

Motivation

  • A challenging benchmark for robust vision research

Existing datasets:

  • Mainly focus on general scenarios, neglecting special scenarios and their challenges.

  • They usually use fixed cameras or handheld cameras to capture the moving target at a close range

  • We establish the first flapping-wing drone-based benchmark named BioDrone to enhance visual robustness in challenging environments.

Characteristics

  • BioDrone includes different flight attitudes for various scenes under three lighting conditions are included in the data acquisition process, ensuring that BioDrone can fully reflect the robust visual challenges of the flapping-wing UAVs
  • BioDrone has a smaller target size and more drastic changes between consecutive frames, with higher demands on the robustness of tracking algorithms.
