Any interest in sharing the plane dataset you used to train Azure Custom Vision with others? Happy to host it on Roboflow Universe along with an API to a trained model others can hit to detect planes in images.

We’ve got one detecting planes on the ground but not yet in the air! https://universe.roboflow.com/gdit/aerial-airport

Definitely - Let me build a little better dataset. I need to augment a bit because it was false detecting on some of the contrails.

I built some scripts to also start building a model that can classify the different aircraft models. One of the interesting things with this, is that you get really accurate labels... probably better than what a human could do for images of this size.

Did they ever indicate using a model like that? Just plug in an ADS-B receiver and they'll broadcast their tail number and location to you. Everything else can be looked up.

Yeah the crop is done after uploading a photo taken towards the general direction of the plane:

Oh that's interesting. It doesn't even have to be that good at plane identification, just "what's the main focus of this picture".
