# Ultralytics DOTA8 Dataset

Ultralytics DOTA8 is a small, but versatile oriented object detection dataset composed of 8 images of the split DOTAv1 set, 4 for training and 4 for validation. This dataset is ideal for testing and debugging oriented object detection models,
or for experimenting with new detection approaches. With 8 images, it is small enough to be easily manageable, yet
diverse enough to test training pipelines for errors and act as a sanity check before training larger datasets.

This dataset is intended for use with Ultralytics YOLOv8.
