Brno Urban Dataset: Winter Extention
This provides a new dataset for autonomous driving research focusing on winter conditions, though it is incremental as an extension of existing work.
The authors extended the Brno Urban Dataset with winter condition data featuring additional LiDAR and radar sensors, and provided YOLO detection annotations for all old RGB images plus machine-annotated thermal images via an original algorithm, making it the largest source of such thermal images available.
Research on autonomous driving is advancing dramatically and requires new data and techniques to progress even further. To reflect this pressure, we present an extension of our recent work - the Brno Urban Dataset (BUD). The new data focus on winter conditions in various snow-covered environments and feature additional LiDAR and radar sensors for object detection in front of the vehicle. The improvement affects the old data as well. We provide YOLO detection annotations for all old RGB images in the dataset. The detections are further also transferred by our original algorithm into the infra-red (IR) images, captured by the thermal camera. To our best knowledge, it makes this dataset the largest source of machine-annotated thermal images currently available.
