Brno Urban Dataset -- The New Data for Self-Driving Agents and Mapping Tasks
This dataset addresses the need for high-quality, diverse data for self-driving agents and mapping tasks, providing incremental value by adding unique sensor capabilities to existing resources.
The authors introduced the Brno Urban Dataset, a new dataset for autonomous driving research, offering over 350 km of rides with data from multiple sensors including a differential RTK GNSS receiver with centimeter accuracy, which is not available in other public datasets.
Autonomous driving is a dynamically growing field of research, where quality and amount of experimental data is critical. Although several rich datasets are available these days, the demands of researchers and technical possibilities are evolving. Through this paper, we bring a new dataset recorded in Brno, Czech Republic. It offers data from four WUXGA cameras, two 3D LiDARs, inertial measurement unit, infrared camera and especially differential RTK GNSS receiver with centimetre accuracy which, to the best knowledge of the authors, is not available from any other public dataset so far. In addition, all the data are precisely timestamped with sub-millisecond precision to allow wider range of applications. At the time of publishing of this paper, recordings of more than 350 km of rides in varying environment are shared at: https: //github.com/RoboticsBUT/Brno-Urban-Dataset.
