Dataset Card for ZOD

The Zenseact Open Dataset (ZOD) is a large multi-modal autonomous driving (AD) dataset created by researchers at Zenseact. It was collected over a 2-year period in 14 different European counties, using a fleet of vehicles equipped with a full sensor suite. The dataset consists of three subsets: Frames, Sequences, and Drives, designed to encompass both data diversity and support for spatiotemporal learning, sensor fusion, localization, and mapping. Together with the data, we have developed a SDK containing tutorials, downloading functionality, and a dataset API for easy access to the data. The development kit is available on Github.

Personal and Sensitive Information

To protect the privacy of every individual in our dataset, and to comply with privacy regulations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we employ third-party services (Brighter AI) to anonymize all images in our dataset. The anonymization should protect all personally identifiable information in the images, including faces and license plates.

For Frames we supply two types of anonymization, namely Deep Neural Anonymization Technology (DNAT) and blurring. We studied the effects that these two anonymization methods have on downstream computer vision tasks and found no significant difference between the two. For more details about the experiments, see our paper. After this study, we anonymized the Sequences and Drives using the blurring anonymization method only.
