CurveLanes Dataset

Introduction

CurveLanes is a new benchmark lane detection dataset with 150K lanes images for difficult scenarios such as curves and multi-lanes in traffic lane detection. It is collected in real urban and highway scenarios in multiple cities in China. It is the largest lane detection dataset so far and establishes a more challenging benchmark for the community.

We separate the whole dataset 150K into three parts: train:100K, val: 20K and testing: 30K. The resolution of most images in this dataset is 2650×1440.

For each image, we manually annotate all lanes in image with natural cubic splines. All images are carefully selected so that most of them image contains at least one curve lane. More difficult scenarios such as S-curves, Y-lanes, night and multi-lanes (the number of lane lines is more than 4) can be found in this dataset, as shown below.

Comparison of the distribution of the degree of curvature between common dataset and CurveLanes. The proportion of number of lanes in our CurveLanes. Our CurveLanes has more curve lanes comparing to the natural distribution of lanes. CurveLanes also has more lanes than CULane and TuSimple thus more challenging, as shown below.

More introduction of the dataset can be found in our paper. For all the images, we have used automatic programs to remove faces and license plate of cars to keep privacy of all the road users.

Annotations

The dataset should include three parts:

1. train: images, labels and train.txt
2. valid: images, labels and valid.txt
3. test: images and test.txt

            00022953ff37d3174cff99833df8799e.lines.json
            ...

For each image, there would be a .lines.json label file, in which each line gives the x, y coordinates for key points of the lane marking.

{
  "Lines":[
    # A lane marking
    [
      # The x, y coordinates for key points of a lane marking that has at least two key points.
      {
        "y":"1439.0",
        "x":"2079.41"
      },
      {
        "y":"1438.08",
        "x":"2078.19"
      },
      ...
    ]
    ...
  ]
}

Downloads

The Dataset is about 76GB after compression. We split the whole rar file into 6 parts each has about 13GB. We provide download link from Google Drive and Baidu Pan to facilate users from all over the world.
