Prototype GOD: prototype Generic Objects Dataset for an Object Detection System based on Bird’s –Eye View

We propose a new prototype training dataset, GOD(Generic Objects Dataset), for object detection systems. Our dataset was constructed to fit a bird’s-eye view, not a general eye-level view. We analyzed the training dataset for the eye-level view such as Pascal VOC(Visual Objects Classes), ImageNet, Microsoft COCO(Common Objects in Context), Caltech, and SUN, which were created by many researchers and AMTs(Amazon Mechanical Turk). We then developed a prototype of the proposed GOD, taking into account the statistical properties gained from them. Our prototype GOD has both 16,830 images based on ‘bird’s-eye view’ and 126,510 bounding boxes annotated objects for 10 object categories. This paper confirms statistical properties similar to those of Microsoft COCO.
