Road Surface and Wetness
Dataset

• Bird's eye view road patches from calibrated cameras
  • Large scale data acquisition on test track
• Three surface types: asphalt, cobblestone, concrete
• Accurate measurements for wetness annotation

RoadSaW dataset: balanced dataset with equal number of images for each of the 12 categories (3 surface types; 4 wetness levels)

• three patch sizes: s,m,l
• four patch distances: 7.5m, ..., 30m

!!! Check also the RoadSC dataset [2], providing Snow Covered Surfaces compatible with RoadSaW !!!
