abstract= {The Blackbird unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dataset is a large-scale indoor dataset collected using a custom-built quadrotor platform for use in evaluation of agile perception. The dataset contains over 10 hours of flight data from 168 flights over 17 flight trajectories and 5 environments at velocities up to 8.0 m/s. Each flight includes sensor data from 120 Hz stereo and downward-facing photorealistic virtual cameras, 100 Hz IMU, 190 Hz motor speed sensors, and 360 Hz millimeter-accurate motion capture ground truth. Camera images for each flight were photorealistically rendered using FlightGoggles across a variety of environments to facilitate experimentation of perception algorithms. The dataset is available at http://blackbird-dataset.mit.edu.
