摘要

After a family murder in rural Germany, authorities failed to locate the suspect in a vast forest despite a massive search. To aid the search, a research aircraft captured high-resolution aerial imagery. Due to dense vegetation obscuring small clues, automated analysis was ineffective, prompting a crowd-sourcing initiative. This effort produced a unique dataset of labeled, hard-to-detect anomalies under occluded, real-world conditions. It can serve as a benchmark for improving anomaly detection approaches in complex forest environments, supporting manhunts and rescue operations. Initial benchmark tests showed existing methods performed poorly, highlighting the need for context-aware approaches. The dataset is openly accessible for offline processing. An additional interactive web interface supports online viewing and dynamic growth by allowing users to annotate and submit new findings.
