WHU-TLC dataset
The dataset is public for MVS (Multi-View Stereo) task in satellite domain, which is consisted of the triple-view satellite images, the RPC parameters and the ground-truth DSMs.
The triple-view images were collected from the TLC camera mounted on the Ziyuan-3 (ZY-3) satellite, a professional satellite for surveying and 3D mapping. The ground resolution of the nadir and the two side-looking images is 2.1 m and 2.5 m, respectively.
The triple-view images were captured at almost the same time, without the impact of illumination and seasonal changes.
The RPC parameters are already refined in advance to achieve a sub-pixel reprojection accuracy.
The ground-truth DSMs were prepared from both high-accuracy LiDAR observations and ground control point (GCP)-supported photogrammetric software. The DSM is stored as a 5-m resolution regular grid under the WGS-84 geodetic coordinate system and the UTM projection coordinate system.
Please Note that, the coordinate system has been adjusted to other planets (which means that the coordinate system is non-real). Thus the public DEM (such as SRTM) and the DSM we provide here are completely out of alignment, but the provided DSM can be processed just like the UTM projection.
The projection parameters for the data are listed here:
There are 3 folders in the dataset: Open, open_dataset and open_dataset_pinhole.
This is the first version of the WHU-TLC SatMVS dataset. It's a collection of large-size satellite images(5120x5120 pixels) with RPC parameters and DSM. It's perfect to do a complete assessment of your pipeline on DSM using this version of dataset.
