Sensor overview

High-level sensor availability before the detailed sensor records below.

Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Ground-truth references for DDOS: The Drone Depth and Obstacle Segmentation Dataset
Scope Method Reference system Count Rate Coverage Reference provenance
External
Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.
Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.
Hybrid
Combines independent reference equipment with onboard measurements.

Accuracy notes
The paper calls the drone state exact; no numerical error bound is given.
Reference notes
AirSim-generated per-frame pose, with velocity and acceleration also supplied; no physical reference apparatus is asserted.

Reference notes
Automatically generated depth maps at 1280 x 720; reported range 0–100 m. This is a simulator product, not a depth-camera measurement.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Only two simulated environments: a suburban town and a park.

No added collection-stage corruption or sensor noise; severe crashes and stuck flights are filtered, although near misses and minor crashes may remain.

Rain, fog, snow, dusk and bright night imagery create visibility challenges.

Notes
Simulated front-facing camera. Each flight has 100 observations over 10 seconds. Depth, semantic masks, flow and normals are accompanying generated products, not extra physical cameras.
