Dual-Radar (provided by 'ADEPTLab') is a brand new dataset based on 4D radar that can be used for studies on deep learning object detection and tracking in the field of autonomous driving. The system of ego vehicle includes a high-resolution camera, a 80-line LiDAR and two up-to-date and different models of 4D radars operating in different modes(Arbe and ARS548). The dataset comprises of raw data collected from ego vehicle, including scenarios such as tunnels and urban, with weather conditions rainy, cloudy and sunny. Our dataset also includes data from different time periods, including dusk, nighttime, and daytime. Our collected raw data amounts to a total of 12.5 hours, encompassing a total distance of over 600 kilometers. Our dataset covers a route distance of approximately 50 kilometers. It consists of 151 continuous time sequences, with the majority being 20-second sequences, resulting in a total of 10,007 carefully time-synchronized frames.

Data statistics

We separately counted the number of instances for each category in the Dual-Radar dataset and the distribution of different types of weather.

Figure 4. Distribution of weather conditions.

About two-thirds of our data were collected under normal weather conditions, and about one-third were collected under rainy and cloudy conditions. We collected 577 frames in rainy weather, which is about 5.5% of the total dataset. The rainy weather data we collect can be used to test the performance of different 4D radars in adverse weather conditions.

Figure 5. Distribution of instance conditions.

We also conducted a statistical analysis of the number of objects with each label at different distance ranges from our vehicle, as shown in Fig. Most objects are within 60 meters of our ego vehicle.

Environment

This is the documentation for how to use our detection frameworks with Dual-Radar dataset. We tested the Dual-Radar detection frameworks on the following environment:

Python 3.8.16 (3.10+ does not support open3d.)
Ubuntu 18.04/20.04
Torch 1.10.1+cu113
CUDA 11.3
opencv 4.2.0.32

Notice

[2022-09-30] The dataset will provide a link for access to the data for further research as soon as possible.

Quick Demo

Here we provide a quick demo to test a pretrained model on the custom point cloud data and visualize the predicted results

Download the pretrained model as shown in Table 4~8.
Make sure you have installed the Open3d and mayavi visualization tools. If not, you could install it as follow:

pip install open3d
pip install mayavi

prepare your point cloud data

points[:, 3] = 0 
np.save(`my_data.npy`, points)

Run the demo with a pretrained model and point cloud data as follows
