VALERIE22 - A photorealistic, richly metadata annotated dataset of urban environments

Dataset Description

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.09632
Point of Contact: korbinian.hagn@intel.com

Dataset Summary

The VALERIE22 dataset was generated with the VALERIE procedural tools pipeline providing a photorealistic sensor simulation rendered from automatically synthesized scenes. The dataset provides a uniquely rich set of metadata, allowing extraction of specific scene and semantic features (like pixel-accurate occlusion rates, positions in the scene and distance + angle to the camera). This enables a multitude of possible tests on the data and we hope to stimulate research on understanding performance of DNNs.
