Dataset: Lane Merge Maneuver of Vehicles

Objective 1: Evaluation of vehicle localization techniques
  • Use video data for 3D vehicle localization, GNSS-RTK for evaluation [1]
Objective 2: Learning of lane merge coordination
  • Use GNSS-RTK and vision-based vehicle positions for learning cooperative maneuvers [3]
Data Set:
  • 85 lane merges performed by human drivers on 7 recording days
  • Temporally synchronized multi-view video streams (four cameras)
  • Accurate camera calibration [1,5]
  • Vehicle positions:
    • GNSS-RTK (see D5.2)
    • camera-based tracking and localization [1,4]
  • Presentation at ICPR 2020/21
    Poster

  • Supplementary video:

Download: 7 sets (day01 .. day07)
  • Video data
    • 4 synchronized video streams, 1824x1536, mjpeg format
    • camera calibration
  • Localization data
    • vehicle localization from GNSS-RTK
    • heading, speed, acceleration from in-vehicle measurements
    • camera-based localization
