UAV Satellite-Thermal Geo-localization Dataset

Captured using Boson thermal cameras, this dataset is specifically designed for research on nighttime UAV satellite-thermal geo-localization and satellite-thermal image translation. It has been utilized in the following works:

  1. Long-range UAV Thermal Geo-localization with Satellite Imagery
    This study focuses on long-range geo-localization by leveraging UAV thermal imagery and satellite data through image retrieval techniques.

  2. STHN: Deep Homography Estimation for UAV Thermal Geo-localization with Satellite Imagery
    The STHN model introduces deep homography estimation to enhance the accuracy of UAV thermal geo-localization using satellite imagery.
