This document provides an overview of the "KI4Flight: Dataset for Drone-based Object Detection of Light and Ultralight Aircraft" dataset, an open-source dataset designed to train perception algorithms to detect light and ultralight aircraft. The dataset consists of images showing different light and ultralight aircraft, captured both in-flight by a drone and on the ground by stationary cameras. All images are annotated with bounding boxes. For some of the images, the distance from the camera to the aircraft is also provided. This work describes the structure of the dataset, its usage, potential applications, and licensing terms.
