SynWoodScape: Synthetic Surround-view Fisheye Camera Dataset for Autonomous Driving
share
Surround-view cameras are a primary sensor for automated driving, used for near field perception. It is one of the most commonly used sensors in commercial vehicles. Four fisheye cameras with a 190 field of view cover the 360 around the vehicle. Due to its high radial distortion, the standard algorithms do not extend easily. Previously, we released the first public fisheye surround-view dataset named WoodScape. In this work, we release a synthetic version of the surround-view dataset, covering many of its weaknesses and extending it. Firstly, it is not possible to obtain ground truth for pixel-wise optical flow and depth. Secondly, WoodScape did not have all four cameras simultaneously in order to sample diverse frames. However, this means that multi-camera algorithms cannot be designed, which is enabled in the new dataset. We implemented surround-view fisheye geometric projections in CARLA Simulator matching WoodScape's configuration and created SynWoodScape. We release 80k images from the synthetic dataset with annotations for 10+ tasks. We also release the baseline code and supporting scripts.
