DATA SCIENCE COMPETITION

Semantic Segmentation

Perform Semantic Segmentation From Downward-Facing Drone Images

Welcome to the Semantic Segmentation Challenge!

This is a competition run by AIcrowd & Amazon Prime Air in order to develop safe and reliable autonomous control systems for aircraft. This challenge focuses on using images from a single downward-facing camera to estimate scene depth and perform semantic segmentation, including a new dataset of drone images that will benchmark semantic segmentation and mono-depth perception.

The two fundamental components of this project pertaining to computer vision are semantic segmentation and depth perception. Through this challenge, the Computer Vision community is encouraged to innovate and enhance the cutting-edge perception tasks related to drone images. This particular challenge focuses on semantic segmentation.
