SKYSTREAM

Data release 01 / 31 Jul 2026

Conventional RGB / fixed camera / private delivery

Fixed-camera sky video for hard-negative evaluation.

SkyStream Release 01 currently contains 9,698 delivery-ready clips and a 1.07-million-point event catalog collected from a continuously operated sky camera. The media is conventional RGB/H.264 with human corrections and frame-derived tracks, licensed privately for model evaluation. The same fixed rig can also continue collection against a written buyer brief.

A look at the data

Tracks and corrections, not just frames

Normalized sample trajectories Four representative trajectories from the redacted evaluation sample, labeled bird, insect, aircraft, and detector association error. bird insect aircraft association error normalized image coordinates
Four paths from the 128-point redacted evaluation sample. Jumps and association errors are retained because failure analysis is part of the value. Coordinates are normalized; exact time and location are not present.

Counts describe human-corrected events, not balanced training classes. Historical “meteorite” labels are presented conservatively as candidate streaks.

Fit and limits

Use it to find false alarms—not to claim object recall.

Good fit

  • False-alert testing for conventional RGB sky cameras
  • Hard-negative mining for birds, insects, cloud, foliage, aircraft, and sensor artifacts
  • Domain-shift evaluation at an unseen fixed-camera site
  • Track-level analysis for small-object and ambiguous-motion systems
  • Sky-imager and atmospheric-camera false-trigger testing on conventional perspective RGB
  • Optical space-monitoring hard-negative and image-cleanup evaluation
  • Catalog-correlation review for individual satellite-like tracks
  • Bird/bat monitoring, wind-energy vision, and optical C-UAS specificity work

Not represented

  • No verified drone-positive class
  • No paired irradiance, cloud fraction, meteorological calibration, or hemispheric/fisheye geometry
  • No independently verified Starlink train, resident-space-object, launch, or meteor ground truth; the public satellite sample is an ephemeris correlation, not independent identification
  • No native neuromorphic or event-camera stream
  • No claim of geographic or camera diversity
  • No species-level wildlife ground truth
  • No public redistribution rights or unrestricted raw-media dump

Why one site can still be useful

A single fixed viewpoint is a controlled domain-shift test, not a claim of broad coverage. A model that has never seen this site either rejects its clutter or reveals where confidence, tracking, and alert logic fail.

Collection to specification

Custom capture extends the same fixed viewpoint; it does not add a second geography or guarantee rare objects or weather. Work begins only after the requested conditions, collection window, acceptance checks, privacy treatment, rights, milestones, and funding are agreed.

Fixed audit path

The audit, in four steps.

A technical fit note starts the conversation. No source corpus, buyer model, credentials, or commercial rights move at this stage.

  1. 01Fit

    Confirm camera modality, target classes, false-alert cost, and useful outputs.

  2. 02Scope

    Agree the 200–500-event cohort, success measures, security route, and written terms.

  3. 03Run

    Evaluate one buyer model or API on the frozen cohort after access and payment are settled.

  4. 04Return

    Deliver per-condition metrics, an error gallery, and a short findings memo.

Start with four details: camera modality, target classes, the costliest false alerts, and whether model access is available by container, offline executable, or API. Never email credentials or proprietary model files.

05

Provenance and privacy

Source-controlled, with operational details withheld

Offered media and first-party annotations were captured or created under the supplier’s control. Exact timestamps, exact location, internal paths, credentials, and identifying content are withheld or redacted as applicable.

Third-party ADS-B, weather, satellite, map, and external-imagery fields are excluded from the commercial package. Original-media access and redistribution rights are controlled by buyer-specific terms.

Redacted evaluation sample / v3.2

Inspect the files before starting a sales call.

Fourteen H.264 clips, paired clean and annotated keyframes, a manifest, 128 normalized trajectory points, validation results, and file hashes. Camera overlays and source metadata are removed. The sample grants no training, redistribution, publication, or production-use rights.
