== Public video dataset for racing bicycle detection/tracking from aerial footage ==
The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) is making publicly available a video dataset for racing bicycle detection/tracking from aerial footage, under the auspices of the MULTIDRONE research and development project (https://multidrone.eu/).
Benchmark_RAI has been prepared by processing/editing and annotating material made available by Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) under the “Giro 2017” MULTIDRONE dataset. It is a dataset consisting of two videos (resolutions: 768 x 432 and 960 x 540) at 25 frames per second. The videos are from Giro d’Italia TV coverage provided by RAI. Annotations are exhaustive, i.e., all objects of a certain class present in a given image are covered by an annotation.
Directions for accessing and using the dataset can be found at www.aiia.csd.auth.gr/LAB_PROJECTS/MULTIDRONE/AUTH_MULTIDRONE_Dataset.html
