Dataset Summary

Real-world aerial scene understanding is limited by a lack of datasets that contain densely annotated images curated under a diverse set of conditions. Due to inherent challenges in obtaining such images in controlled real-world settings, we present SkyScenes, a synthetic dataset of densely annotated aerial images captured from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) perspectives. SkyScenes images are carefully curated from CARLA to comprehensively capture diversity across layout (urban and rural maps), weather conditions, times of day, pitch angles and altitudes with corresponding semantic, instance and depth annotations. SkyScenes features 33,600 images in total, which are spread across 8 towns, 5 weather and daytime conditions and 12 height and pitch variations.

SkyScenes has been accepted at ECCV 2024 !

Note: Since the same viewpoint is reproduced across each weather variation, hence ClearNoon annotations can be used for all images pertaining to the different weather variations.

Dataset Download

The dataset can be downloaded using wget. Since SkyScenes offers variations across different axes we enable different subsets for download that can aid in model sensitivity analysis across these axes.

Download instructions: wget

Example script for downloading different subsets of data using wget

#!/bin/bash
#Change here to download a specific Height and Pitch Variation, for example - H_15_P_0
# HP=('H_15_P_45' 'H_15_P_60' 'H_15_P_90')
HP=('H_15_P_0' 'H_15_P_45' 'H_15_P_60' 'H_15_P_90' 'H_35_P_0' 'H_35_P_45' 'H_35_P_60' 'H_35_P_90' 'H_60_P_0' 'H_60_P_45' 'H_60_P_60' 'H_60_P_90')

#Change here to download a specific weather subset, for example - ClearNoon
#Note - For Segment, Instance and Depth annotations this field should only have ClearNoon variation
# weather=('ClearNoon' 'ClearNight')
weather=('ClearNoon' 'ClearNight' 'ClearSunset' 'CloudyNoon' 'MidRainyNoon')

#Change here to download a specific Town subset, for example - Town07
layout=('Town01' 'Town02' 'Town03' 'Town04' 'Town05' 'Town06' 'Town07' 'Town10HD')
