用合成数据模拟真实城市无人机检测中的天气与季节变化。
Beyond Clear Skies: Synthetic Seasonal and Weather Variations for Real-World Drone Detection

- 基于游戏引擎生成含多种天气和季节的高分辨率图像
- 5.5万张标注图像覆盖雨雪雾等多级严重度条件
- 适合提升无人机检测模型在恶劣环境下的鲁棒性
真实场景中可靠无人机检测需覆盖全操作设计域,包括恶劣天气与季节性外观变化。但大规模采集和标注此类数据成本高昂,因恶劣天气难以控制与系统采样。现有数据集对此类条件覆盖有限。相反,合成数据具备可扩展性:环境变量可控,现代游戏引擎管道可实现逼真渲染与自动标注。为此,我们提出SynDroneVision-Weather(SDV-W),作为面向城市无人机检测中恶劣天气与季节性分布偏移的系统性扩展。SDV-W包含来自三个城市环境的55,187张高分辨率标注图像,涵盖三种季节配置及多样天气条件,包括多级严重度的雨、雪、雾。通过保留SDV的场景与轨迹配置,SDV-W支持清洁与恶劣条件的匹配对比,并量化检测器在特定条件下的性能退化。在代表性YOLO模型与真实数据集上,我们验证了SDV-W能提升检测器在恶劣外观变化下的可靠性,减少漏检与误报,且最适合作为通用合成无人机检测数据的补充。该数据集将在论文接受后公开发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reliable drone detection under real-world deployment conditions requires training data that spans the full operational design domain, including adverse weather and seasonal appearance variation. However, acquiring and annotating such data at scale remains highly resource-intensive, as adverse-weather conditions are inherently difficult to control, reproduce, and sample systematically. Existing datasets therefore typically provide only limited coverage of such conditions. Conversely, synthetic data offers a scalable alternative: environmental variation becomes controllable, while modern game-engine-based pipelines provide realistic rendering and automatic annotations. Leveraging this potential, we introduce SynDroneVision-Weather (SDV-W), an systematic extension of SynDroneVision (SDV) targeting adverse-weather and seasonal domain shifts in urban drone detection. SDV-W comprises 55,187 annotated high-resolution images from three urban environments, rendered across three seasonal configurations and diverse weather conditions, including rain, snow, and fog at multiple severity levels. By preserving SDV's scene and trajectory configuration, SDV-W enables matched clean-adverse comparisons and quantification of condition-specific detector degradation. Across representative YOLO models and real-world datasets, we show that SDV-W improves detector reliability under adverse appearance shifts, reduces missed detections and false alarms, and is most effective as a complement to general-purpose synthetic drone-detection data. SDV-W will be publicly released upon paper acceptance.
