The SPARK dataset is a unique space multi-modal annotated image dataset containing a total of ~150k RGB images and the same number of depth images of 11 object classes (10 spacecrafts and one class of space debris). The data have been generated under a realistic space simulation environment, with a large diversity in sensing conditions, including extreme and challenging ones for different orbital scenarios, background noise, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and high image contrast that defines actual space imagery.
