A Benchmark and Simulator for UAV Tracking (Dataset)

Video captured from low-altitude UAVs is inherently different from video in popular tracking datasets like OTB50, OTB100, VOT2014, VOT2015, TC128, and ALOV300++. Therefore, we propose a new dataset (UAV123) with sequences from an aerial viewpoint, a subset of which is meant for long-term aerial tracking (UAV20L). Our new UAV123 dataset contains a total of 123 video sequences and more than 110K frames making it the second-largest object tracking dataset after ALOV300++. All sequences are fully annotated with upright bounding boxes.
