Ground Truth Stixel Dataset


Original web site: https://www.6d-vision.com/current-research/ground-truth-stixel-dataset


We have annotated twelve stereo highway sequences with ground truth regarding the free space (stixels), some with heavy rain. Find attached the raw image data (rectified pgms, 12bit/px), the ground truth stixels in xml format, the vehicle data (velocity, yaw rate, and timestamp) and the camera geometry along with a description how to use the data. All is offered to download in two zip-files.


The ground truth was acquired with manual annotations and exploiting known ego-motion for static structures. For moving objects, a vehicle tracker was used with supervision.

The provided meta data in xml has the following units:
Velocity/speed : in m/s
Timestamp: in ns
Recording framerate: 25Hz

If you are interested in more detailed ground truth stereo, that covers most of the image, we recommend
