TJ4DRadSet: A 4D Radar Dataset for Autonomous Driving

This repository provides a description and acquisition of TJ4DRadSet. Due to policy restrictions, we are currently releasing only the complete 4D radar data (it has no privacy implications).

TJ4DRadSet Overview


Introduction

TJ4DRadSet is a novel 4D radar dataset containing 7757 frames of synchronized and calibrated LiDAR, camera, and 4D radar data in 44 sequences. It covers a wide range of driving conditions, including various lighting conditions, such as normal lighting, bright light and darkness, and different road types, such as urban roads, elevated roads, and industrial zones.


Data acquisition platform.


The dataset's statistical details.

The dataset is organized similarly to KITTI as follows.

Where, the ImageSets folder contains the initial split of the dataset. The calib folder contains calibration files, each of which has the following contents. The P2 is the camera intrinsic parameter matrix. The Tr_velo_to_cam is the extrinsic calibration between the 4D radar and the camera in KITTI format.

The velodyne folder contains 4D radar files. The radar point clouds are converted into bin files, each of which contains a Nx8 array.

[X, Y, Z, V_r, Range, Power, Alpha, Beta]

Where N is the number of points and 8 is the feature dimension as follows. Where V_r is the relative radial velocity (RRV), Range is the detection range to radar center, Power is in dB scale and represents the signal to noise ratio of the detection, Alpha and Beta are horizontal angle and vertical angle of the detection, respectively.

Annotation

The label_2 folder provides the annotation file for each frame. We converted the annotations into KITTI format as follows. There are some differences between TJ4DRadSet and KITTI annotations:

  • Type: The annotation contains 5 types of objects ('Car', 'Pedestrian', 'Cyclist', 'Truck', 'Other'), which are mapped from the original 7 classes of objects.
  • Truncated: Integer 0(non-truncated) and 1(truncated), according to whether the object is at the image boundary or not. We did not use it in our study.
  • Occluded: Integer (0,1,2,3) indicating occlusion state: 0 = fully visible, 1 = small partly occluded, 2 = partly occluded, 3 = largely occluded. We did not use it in our study.
  • Alpha: Integer 0. Not used, only there to be compatible with KITTI format.
  • Bbox: Annotation was done in 3D on the LiDAR point cloud. While we provide the 2D bounding boxes in the KITTI formatted labels, these were calculated automatically by projecting the 3D bounding boxes to the camera plane, and assigning a minimum fit rectangle.
#Values    Name      Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1    type         Describes the type of object: 'Car', 'Pedestrian', 'Cyclist', 'Truck', 'Other'.
   1    truncated    Integer 0(non-truncated) and 1(truncated).
   1    occluded     Integer (0,1,2,3) indicating occlusion state:
                     0 = fully visible, 1 = small partly occluded
                     2 = partly occluded, 3 = largely occluded.
   1    alpha        Integer 0. Not used.
   4    bbox         2D bounding box of object in the image (0-based index):
                     contains left, top, right, bottom pixel coordinates. This was automatically calculated from the 3D boxes.
   3    dimensions   3D object dimensions: height, width, length (in meters)
   3    location     3D object location x,y,z in camera coordinates (in meters)
   1    rotation     Rotation ry around Y-axis in camera coordinates [-pi..pi]

The tracking annotations are also similar to KITTI format. They are the original annotations of each sequence in the LIDAR coordinate system. The first column represents the frame number, the second column is the tracking ID, and the third column is the class information. In addition, the annotated classes include the original seven types, which are Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist, Motorcyclist, Truck, Bus, Engineering Vehicles. An example is as follows.
