Description

High quality data for adverse driving conditions

The CADC dataset aims to promote research to improve self-driving in adverse weather conditions. This is the first public dataset to focus on real world driving data in snowy weather conditions.

It features:

• 56,000 camera images
• 7,000 LiDAR sweeps
• 75 scenes of 50-100 frames each
• 10 annotation classes
• Full sensor suite: 1 LiDAR, 8 Cameras, Post-processed GPS/IMU
• Adverse weather driving conditions, including snow

Data Collection

Complex Driving Scenarios in Adverse Conditions

For this dataset, routes were chosen with various levels of traffic, a variety of vehicles and always with snowfall.

Sequences were selected from data collected within the Region of Waterloo, Canada.
