Spacecraft Pose Estimation Dataset of a 3U CubeSat using Unreal Engine (SPEED-UE-Cube)

Abstract/Contents

Abstract

SPEED-UE-Cube is a synthetic image dataset that was created by the Space Rendezvous Laboratory (SLAB) using Unreal Engine 5. The dataset is intended for training and evaluating the performance of supervised machine learning models for monocular pose estimation of a noncooperative spacecraft. It models spaceborne imagery of a 3U CubeSat and consists of two subsets: a training dataset of 30,000 images with a 80/20 training/validation split, and a trajectory dataset of 1,186 images that depict a rendezvous scenario between the CubeSat and a servicer spacecraft. All images are accompanied with pose labels that provide the relative position and orientation of the target CubeSat. The dataset is released under a CC-BY-4.0 license and is therefore available for commercial use.

The dataset is hosted by MathWorks and can be downloaded at the following link. Please note that using the link will automatically begin downloading the dataset (44 GB):
