3D Point Cloud People Dataset

Annotated people and tracks in 3D Velodyne data

 



Description

This dataset contains 100+ RGB-D frames acquired in downtown Zurich, Switzerland. The first data set, named Polyterrasse, has been collected in a large area in the front of the ETH Zurich main building (Switzerland), accessible only to people and bicycles. The second data set, named Tannenstrasse, has been collected on a busy street crossing in downtown Zurich with trams, cars, pedestrians, or bicycles.
>> Both detections and tracks are annotated

Sensory Setup

A Velodyne HDL 64E S2 sensor has been used to acquire data. It rotates with a frequency of 5Hz at a maximum range limited to 20m. This produces around 120,000 points per 3D scan.

Point Cloud Format

Each point cloud is saved as a separate file with .ezd extension ((e.g.: ts2_sliced0000.ezd). It is a text file with four columns, indicating the position of a scanned point in space: X, Y, Z, velodyne layer.

Detection Annotation Format

Each frame (e.g.: ts2_sliced0000.ezd) is annotated in a file named as the frame but with extension .bbox (e.g: ts2_sliced0000.ezd.bbox). It is a text file in which each line represents a person annotation. Each line has seven columns:
X,Y,Z: center of the 3D bounding box
W,D,H: size of the 3D bounding box
VSB: [0 = visible, 1 = partially visible]


Tracking Annotation Format

Each annotated track is defined in a file (e.g: ts2_slicedT0001.track). The content of a track file is as following:
NFILE: point cloud frame name
X,Y,Z: center of the track in 3D
