V2XScenes: A Multiple Challenging Traffic Conditions Dataset for Large-Range Vehicle-Infrastructure Collaborative Perception

Whether autonomous driving can effectively handle challenging scenarios such as bad weather and complex traffic environments is still in doubt. One of the critical difficulties is that the single-view perception makes it hard to obtain the complementary perceptual information around the multi-condition scenes, such as meeting occlusion and congestion. To investigate the advantages of collaborative perception in high-risky driving scenarios, we construct a multiple challenging conditions dataset for largerange vehicle-infrastructure cooperative perception, called V2XScenes, which includes seven typical multi-modal layouts at successive road section. Particularly, each selected scene is labeled with a specific condition description, and we provide unique object tracking numbers across the entire road section and sequential frames to ensure consistency. Comprehensive cooperative perception benchmarks of 3D object detection and tracking for large-range roadside scenes are summarized, and the quantitative results based on the state-of-the-art demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative perception facing challenging scenes. The data and benchmark codes of V2XScenes will be released.
