NWPU VHR-10 dataset

The NWPU VHR‑10 dataset is a challenging benchmark for geospatial object detection containing ten categories. It includes 800 very‑high‑resolution (VHR) optical remote‑sensing images: 715 color images from Google Earth (spatial resolution 0.5–2 m) and 85 panchromatic‑sharpened color‑infrared images from Vaihingen (0.08 m). The dataset is split into a positive set (650 images containing at least one target) and a negative set (150 images with no targets). The positive set is manually annotated with 757 aircraft, 302 ships, 655 storage tanks, 390 baseball fields, 524 tennis courts, 159 basketball courts, 163 athletics fields, 224 ports, 124 bridges, and 477 vehicles using bounding boxes and instance masks as ground truth.

Dataset Overview

Dataset Name: VHR-10_dataset_coco

Dataset Description: VHR-10_dataset_coco is an object detection and instance segmentation dataset for very‑high‑resolution (VHR) remote‑sensing images. It is built on the NWPU VHR‑10 dataset and annotated following the COCO format. The original NWPU VHR‑10 dataset includes 10 object categories across 800 images; 715 color images are from Google Earth (0.5–2 m resolution) and 85 color‑infrared images are from Vaihingen (0.08 m resolution).

Dataset Composition:

  • Positive set: 650 images containing at least one target.
  • Negative set: 150 images containing no targets.

Annotation Information:

  • In the positive set, 757 aircraft, 302 ships, 655 storage tanks, 390 baseball fields, 524 tennis courts, 159 basketball courts, 163 athletics fields, 224 ports, 124 bridges and 477 vehicles are manually annotated with bounding boxes and instance masks.
