Abstract: We present a new dataset for development, benchmarking, and evaluation of remote sensing and earth observation approaches with special focus on converging perspectives. In order to provide data with different modalities, we observed the same scene using satellites, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and smartphones. The dataset is further complemented by ground-truth information and baseline results for different application scenarios. The provided data can be freely used by anybody interested in remote sensing and earth observation and will be continuously augmented and updated.
