Custom dataset of YOUR object ($249)

Need data of YOUR object? Custom synthetic dataset, $249 USD -> order on Polar

• What you get: 2,000 labelled photoreal synthetic images (640x640 JPEG) of your own object or scenario (product, part, tool, drone, package, defect...), up to 3 classes, YOLO bounding boxes + data.yaml, train/val/test split, quality report
• Licence: commercial use allowed
• Price: $249 USD one-time; one round of adjustments included
• Delivery: typically 3-5 business days after we receive your reference photos + rough dimensions
• Optional sim-to-real test: send ~200 of your own labelled real images and we report how much the synthetic data improves a detector on them
• Refund: full refund if we cannot deliver your request (14-day refund policy)
• Limits: only objects you own or are allowed to use; no weapons or anything meant to harm people; no copied third-party 3D assets

Summary

Synthetic airspace images of multirotor drones, fixed-wing UAVs and birds with YOLO bounding boxes, for training counter-UAS drone-vs-bird detectors; the paid full edition can be used commercially.

• Best for: pre-training drone / fixed-wing / bird detectors before fine-tuning on a small real set
• Not for: deploying a detector trained on synthetic images only

Quick start

# pip install huggingface_hub ultralytics
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
path = snapshot_download("quailrobot/airspace-v3-sample", repo_type="dataset")
from ultralytics import YOLO
YOLO("yolov8n.pt").train(data=f"{path}/data.yaml", epochs=50, imgsz=640)

Facts

• Task: object detection (YOLO format)
• Labels: 3 classes: 0 multirotor, 1 fixed_wing, 2 bird; empty label file = true negative
• Full edition size: 5,000 images 640x640 (train 3,989 / val 521 / test 490) with YOLO labels (zip 91.5 MB)
• Free sample size: 300 images (train 240 / val 34 / test 26)
• Format: 640x640 JPEG images + YOLO txt labels + data.yaml (Ultralytics-ready)
• What's included (full edition): images/{train,val,test}, labels/{train,val,test}, data.yaml, README.md, LICENSE.txt
• Price: $35 USD; checkout may display the equivalent in your local currency
• Buy URL (primary): https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_NG5kSyz9EzZm7OKoEKYG2AJSnHJFFyX8HQU2X3tdym8
• Licence (full edition): LicenseRef-QuailModel-Commercial (commercial use allowed, no resale of the data)
• Licence (free sample): CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0
• Validation: Sim-to-real test (YOLOv8n, 1,000 held-out real drone photos from the Seraphim dataset, CC BY 4.0, evaluation only): 200 real images alone = mAP50 0.719 / mAP50-95 0.367 (mean of 3 seeds; range 0.678-0.744 / 0.337-0.384). Pre-training on QuailModel synthetic (Drone v2 + Airspace v3) then fine-tuning on the same 200 real images = mAP50 0.747 / mAP50-95 0.395 (1 seed): the mAP50 gain is within seed noise; mAP50-95 is +2.8 points. Our newer photoreal Drone v5 gives a consistent +4.0 points mAP50-95 (+11%) across 3 seeds and lower variance. 2,000 real images: 0.807 / 0.491. Synthetic data does not replace real data - use it to pre-train.

Validation

Sim-to-real test (YOLOv8n, 1,000 held-out real drone photos from the Seraphim dataset, CC BY 4.0, evaluation only): 200 real images alone = mAP50 0.719 / mAP50-95 0.367 (mean of 3 seeds; range 0.678-0.744 / 0.337-0.384). Pre-training on QuailModel synthetic (Drone v2 + Airspace v3) then fine-tuning on the same 200 real images = mAP50 0.747 / mAP50-95 0.395 (1 seed): the mAP50 gain is within seed noise; mAP50-95 is +2.8 points.

Price & licence

• Full edition: $35 USD. One-time payment, instant download after checkout: https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_NG5kSyz9EzZm7OKoEKYG2AJSnHJFFyX8HQU2X3tdym8
• QuailModel Commercial Dataset Licence (SPDX: LicenseRef-QuailModel-Commercial): you may train, evaluate and ship models, including in commercial products. You may not resell or redistribute the dataset itself.
• Free sample (this page): CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 - free for non-commercial use.

Limitations

• Synthetic alone does not replace real data (mAP50 0.260 synthetic-only): use it to pre-train, then fine-tune on real images.
• 26% of boxes are smaller than 16 px; single training seed in the sim-to-real test.

This free sample: 300 images (train 240 / val 34 / test 26). Full commercial edition: 5,000 images 640x640 (train 3,989 / val 521 / test 490) with YOLO labels (zip 91.5 MB). Fully synthetic data; summary, facts, validation and limitations are in the block above.

• Image size: 640x640 JPEG. Labels: YOLO txt, classes: 0 = multirotor, 1 = fixed_wing, 2 = bird. Images with an empty label file are true negatives (33 of 300).
• Boxes per class: multirotor 241, fixed_wing 119, bird 113
• data.yaml included - train directly with Ultralytics YOLO.
• Box size distribution (fraction of image width): median 0.060, 26% of boxes are smaller than 16 px.

How it was made

Original 3D models, procedurally generated and rendered with a physically based renderer under real-world lighting, with realistic camera effects. Labels are computed exactly from the 3D scene (no hand labelling).
