Hi there! We are releasing an open dataset for the computer vision community and hope to work together to solve real-world challenges in detection and recognition for autonomous driving. We partnered with fleets of taxis and car rental companies to install dash cams and collect real roads data. The first batch of 1000 images was selected to show some of the less seen objects on roads, and objects that pose detection challenges for driving decisions. In addition, we included another 200 images of screenshots taken when our researchers played GTA (for work).
We understand releasing this dataset is only the beginning, and in the future, we will keep adding more labelled images for more varieties of tasks and publishing evaluation results for the community. If you are interested in looking at how your algorithms work on this dataset, you can submit your results to mikki@momenta.ai. Please see below for how we evaluate car and person detections.
