CRUW ROD2021 Camera-Radar Dataset

Radar object detection using the downloadable CRUW ROD2021 subset

Fifty synchronized 30 Hz camera-radar sequences across parking-lot, campus-road, city-street, and highway scenarios, with range-azimuth point labels for radar object detection.

Accuracy and notes
Reference notes
Released training labels give class and point location in radar range-azimuth coordinates and mix camera-radar-fusion with human labels. Testing labels are human-generated but withheld for evaluation.

Calibration and synchronization

Reported calibration level, reproducibility signals, and supporting notes.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

The CRUW devkit supplies sensor configurations, calibration parameters, and camera-radar coordinate mappings; RGB images are undistorted or rectified before release.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

The downloadable release is the 50-sequence ROD2021 subset rather than the complete 464-sequence CRUW corpus described by the dataset paper.

Testing sequences release radar RF images only; camera images and human ground-truth labels are withheld for evaluation.

Only four uniformly selected chirps per frame are released from the 255 captured chirps.

Point annotations do not provide object dimensions or other attributes.
