Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) provide increased access to unique types of urban imagery traditionally not available. Advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques when applied to UAV RGB image data can be used for automated extraction of building asset information and if applied to UAV thermal imagery data can detect potential thermal anomalies. However, these UAV datasets are not easily available to researchers, thereby creating a barrier to accelerating research in this area.

To assist researchers with added data to develop machine learning algorithms, we present UAVID3D (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Image Dataset of the Built Environment for 3D reconstruction). The raw images for our dataset were recorded with a Zenmuse XT2 visual (RGB) and a FLIR Tau 2 (thermal, https://flir.netx.net/file/asset/15598/original/) camera on a DJI Mavic 2 pro drone (https://www.dji.com/matrice-200-series). The thermal camera is factory calibrated. All data is organized and structured to comply with FAIR principles, i.e. being findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. It is publicly available and can be downloaded from the Zenodo data repository.

RGB images were recorded during UAV fly-overs of two different commercial buildings in Northern California. In addition, thermographic images were recorded during 2 subsequent UAV fly-overs of the same two buildings. UAV flights were recorded at flight heights between 60–80 m above ground with a flight speed of 1 m s and contain GPS information. All images were recorded during drone flights on May 10, 2021 between 8:45 am and 10:30 am and on May 19, 2021 between 2:15 pm and 4:30 pm. Outdoor air temperatures on these two days during the flights were between 78 and 83 degree fahrenheit and between 58 and 65 degree fahrenheit respectively.

For the RGB flights, UAV path was planned and captured using an orbital flight plan in PIX4D capture at normal flight speed and overlap angle of 10 degree. Thermal images were captured by manual flights approximately 5 m away from each building facade. Due to the high overlap of images, similarities from feature points identified in each image can be extracted to conduct photogrammetry. Photogrammetry allows estimation of the three-dimensional coordinates of points on an object in a generated 3D space involving measurements made on images taken with a high overlap rate. Photogrammetry can be used to create a 3D point cloud model of the recorded region. UAVID3D dataset is a series of compressed archive files totaling 21GB. Useful pipelines to process these images can be found at these two repositories https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/a3dbr, and https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/AutoBFE

=======================Summary=======================DPJAIT DATASET – MULTIMODAL DATASET FOR INDOOR 3D DRONE TRACKINGThe DPJAIT dataset has been designed for research on vision-based 3D drone tracking. The dataset consists of real measurements registered by a Vicon system containing a synchronized RGB multicamera set and motion capture acquisition, as well as simulated sequences obtained from a similar but virtual camera system created in Unreal Engine and AirSim simulator. The scene for the simulation sequences was prepared using a model of the Human Motion Lab (HML) at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT) in Bytom, Poland, in which real sequences were registered.

It is obligatory to cite the following paper in every work that uses the dataset: J. Rosner, T. Krzeszowski, A. Świtoński, H. Josiński, W. Lindenheim-Locher, M. Zielinski, G. Paleta, M. Paszkuta, K. Wojciechowski: Multimodal dataset for indoor 3D drone tracking challenge, Scientific Data 12, 257 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04521-y

=======================Data description=======================The dataset consists of 13 simulated and 18 real sequences, which differ in the number of drones and their pattern of moving on scene. The sequences were prepared in such a way that they could be used for various types of research. Some sequences contain a larger amount of drones but with limited motion or a smaller amount with a bigger degree of freedom. Additionally, some simulated sequences were generated based on measurements performed in a real laboratory, so they can be used to compare the results obtained for simulation and real sequences.

The simulated sequences were created using an environment based on the Unreal Engine and the AirSim plugin. It is an open-source project created by Microsoft to provide high-fidelity simulation of a variety of autonomous vehicles. Inside the environment, a scene based on the laboratory where real-life recordings took place was created. At the simulation scene, eight different cameras were placed. For some sequences, the stage size was enlarged twice the size of the HML laboratory to accommodate more flying drones without an issue of potential collisions between each of them. This allowed the generation of sequences with a large number of drones (up to 10), which was not possible to achieve in real conditions. Five different drone models were used in the simulations.Most sequences contain data from eight cameras, except three sequences generated based on real sequences (S11_D4, S12_D3, S13_D3), which contain only data from four cameras. In addition, sequences S01_D2_A, S02_D4_A, and S03_D10_A contain images from the drone camera (First Person View, FPV), and ArUco markers placed on walls.

In real data scenarios, drones are manually controlled by skilled operators and tracked by a multi-modal acquisition system. Videos are registered by a set of four RGB cameras -- cam_1, cam_2, cam_3, and cam_4 -- with 1924x1082 resolution, located in the corners of the lab. Moreover, motion capture measurements are used to provide reference locations and orientations. It is achieved by tracking four markers -- A, B, C, and D -- attached to the top of the drones and forming an asymmetrical cross (see files MarkersCross_1.jpg, MarkersCross_2.jpg, and MarkersCrosses.pdf in "Additional_Files" folder). Details on how to establish the location and orientation in case of the known 3D coordinates of the markers are described by Lindenheim-Locher, W. et al. (Lindenheim-Locher, W. et al. YOLOv5 Drone Detection Using Multimodal Data Registered by the Vicon System. Sensors 2023, 23, 6396. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23146396).Moreover, to distinguish different drones visible at the same time instant, various lengths of the cross arms are applied (see MarkersCrosses.pdf in the "Additional_Files" folder). Ground truth data were acquired using a Vicon motion capture system. Synchronization and calibration of the motion capture system and video cameras were carried out using software and hardware provided by Vicon.
