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.

Each sequence of the dataset contains for each scene two rendered images. One is rendered with the default Blender tonemapping (/png) whereas the second is renderd with our photorealistic sensor simulation (see hagn2022optimized). The image below shows the difference of the two methods.

Following are some example images showing the unique characteristics of the different sequences. |Sequence0052|Sequence0054|Sequence0057|Sequence0058| |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| |
