download dota dataset

The dota dataset can be downloaded from here.

The data structure is as follows:

mmrotate
├── mmrotate
├── tools
├── configs
├── data
│   ├── DOTA
│   │   ├── train
│   │   ├── val
│   │   ├── test

split dota dataset

Please crop the original images into 1024×1024 patches with an overlap of 200 by run

python tools/data/dota/split/img_split.py --base-json \
  tools/data/dota/split/split_configs/ss_trainval.json

python tools/data/dota/split/img_split.py --base-json \
  tools/data/dota/split/split_configs/ss_test.json

If you want to get a multiple scale dataset, you can run the following command.

python tools/data/dota/split/img_split.py --base-json \
  tools/data/dota/split/split_configs/ms_trainval.json

python tools/data/dota/split/img_split.py --base-json \
  tools/data/dota/split/split_configs/ms_test.json

Please change the img_dirs and ann_dirs in json. (Forked from BboxToolkit, which is faster then DOTA_Devkit.)

change root path in base config

Please change data_root in configs/_base_/datasets/dotav1.py to split DOTA dataset.
