Oriented and rotated object detection in aerial and satellite images — notes on the oriented-det package and related work.

June 29, 2026 Sliding-window inference on images larger than the DOTA canvas
How odet image-demo tiles images larger than 1024×1024, merges overlapping windows, and filters classes — using the Oriented R-CNN 1× Hub checkpoint retrained after a diagonal-flip bug.
June 25, 2026 Zero-shot ship detection on a Copernicus Sentinel-2 tile with Oriented R-CNN
A practical zero-shot experiment with a DOTA-pretrained Oriented R-CNN model on a 10 m Copernicus Sentinel-2 tile, including zoomed sliding-window inference and ship-only filtering.
June 24, 2026 Oriented object detection on macOS, in pure Python
Run Oriented R-CNN on Apple Silicon with pip, uv, and the odet CLI — no CUDA toolchain, from demo.jpg to result.jpg in minutes.
June 23, 2026 Oriented R-CNN detections for the 15 DOTA classes
A visual tour of Oriented R-CNN detections across the 15 original DOTA v1.0 aerial object classes.
June 22, 2026 Oriented-Det v0.1.0 is out — sovereign oriented object detection for EO
Oriented-det v0.1.0 is on PyPI under Apache 2.0 — a lightweight PyTorch library for rotated object detection in aerial and satellite imagery, with DOTA baselines and pretrained weights.
May 28, 2026 Oriented-det is coming: sovereign oriented detection for EO
A sovereign, Apache-licensed oriented detection stack for EO. The June 2026 release shipped as v0.1.0; this note is the motivation, and the series index is the map.
