Single-frame InfraRed Small Target (SIRST) Benchmark

A dataset proposed in "Asymmetric Contextual Modulation for Infrared Small Target Detection" https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.14530

Update:

• The improved version, SIRST v2, has been released. Please visit https://github.com/YimianDai/open-sirst-v2 to check the new dataset.
• The name of this dataset series is 'SIRST' and 'SIRST v2'. Please don't call it as 'NUAA-SIRST'.

Dataset Description

SIRST is a dataset specially constructed for single-frame infrared small target detection, in which the images are selected from hundreds of infrared sequences for different scenarios.

The bounding box and semantic segmentation annotations are available now. The rest annotation forms will come soon.

Learderboard

The full learderboard will come soon. A comparison of 19 methods can be found at https://github.com/YimianDai/open-acm.

Toolkit

The full toolkit will come soon. Some implementations of our proposed methods can be found at DENTIST, ACM, and ALCNet.
