xView: Satellite Images with Millions of Labeled Objects
Imagine a giant photo of Earth where every car, building, and boat is carefully marked — that's the idea behind xView, a new open set of satellite images made to help computers learn about things from above.
The team collected very clear pictures from space, so small items are easier spot, and then they used a careful, three step process to mark each object.
The result is massive: more than 1 million objects labeled across many scenes, spread over a big patch of land.
This helps people study how machines find objects in crowded pictures, and makes room for better tools that can see things from high up.
xView contains around 60 types of objects, from vehicles to buildings, and the data were checked many times for quality.
For anyone curious about maps, disaster response, or city planning, this kind of open resource sparks new ideas and faster progress, because clearer, bigger data lets research move forward.
The images are high detail, so its easier to spot small targets, and its ready for others to use.
