• Abstract: Acquiring data to train deep learning-based object detectors on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is expensive, time-consuming and may even be prohibited by law in specific environments. On the other hand, synthetic data is fast and cheap to access. In this work, we explore the potential use of synthetic data in object detection from UAVs across various application environments. For that, we extend the open-source framework DeepGTAV to work for UAV scenarios. We capture various large-scale high-resolution synthetic data sets in several domains to demonstrate their use in real-world object detection from UAVs by analyzing multiple training strategies across several models. Furthermore, we analyze several different data generation and sampling parameters to provide actionable engineering advice for further scientific research. The DeepGTAV framework is available at https://git.io/Jyf5j.

  Acquiring fine-grained object detection annotations in unconstrained images is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to noise. We propose a novel Bayesian Detector Combination (BDC) framework to more effectively train object detectors with noisy crowdsourced annotations. BDC is model-agnostic, requires no prior knowledge of the annotators' skill level, and seamlessly integrates with existing object detection models.

  This paper presents CARLA-GeAR, a tool for the automatic generation of synthetic datasets for evaluating the robustness of neural models against physical adversarial patches. The tool is built on the CARLA simulator, using its Python API, and allows the generation of datasets for several vision tasks in the context of autonomous driving. The paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the performance of some defense methods against such attacks, showing how the datasets generated with CARLA-GeAR might be used in future work as a benchmark for adversarial defense in the real world.
