title: DVS-PedX: Dynamic Vision Sensor Pedestrian eXploration Dataset

description: DVS-PedX (Dynamic Vision Sensor Pedestrian eXploration Dataset)

DVS-PedX is a neuromorphic dataset designed for pedestrian detection and crossing-intention analysis in normal and adverse weather conditions across two complementary sources: (1) synthetic event streams generated in the CARLA simulator for controlled “approach–cross” scenes under varied weather and lighting; and (2)real-world JAAD dash-cam 346 videos converted to event streams using the v2e tool, preserving natural behaviors and backgrounds. Event-based Pedestrian Interaction Clips (JPG/PNG + AEDAT/AEDAT4 + AVI previews).

Reassembling the dataset from 5 GB parts

The dataset was split into multiple 5 GB chunks for easier downloading and uploading to Zenodo. To use the dataset, please follow the steps below depending on your operating system. Please make sure to replace "DVS_PedX.parts.sha256" in the example below with the actual name of the file you downloaded.

🐧 macOS / Linux

Please follow these steps to verify, merge, and extract the dataset parts:

1) To verify and confirm that the downloaded files have the same MD5 values as the original files in the Files section above, run the following command:



md5 DVS_PedX.tar.gz.part-00*


2) (Optional) To merge the downloaded zip files into a single file, run the following command:



cat DVS_PedX.tar.gz.part-00* > DVS_PedX.tar.gz


3) To extract the database, run the following command:



tar -xzvf DVS_PedX.tar.gz


 

🪟 Windows (PowerShell)

If you are on Windows, use the following commands in PowerShell:

1) To verify and confirm that the downloaded files have the same MD5 values as the original files in the Files section above, run the following command:



Get-FileHash DVS_PedX.tar.gz.part-00* -Algorithm MD5


2) (Optional) To merge the downloaded zip files into a single file, run the following command:



Get-Content DVS_PedX.tar.gz.part-00* -Raw | Set-Content DVS_PedX.tar.gz -Encoding Byte


3) To extract the database, run the following command:



tar -xzvf DVS_PedX.tar.gz


For point (3), if tar is unavailable, then use the following command in PowerShell:



& "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x DVS_PedX.tar.gz -so | & "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -aoa -si -ttar


 

Important: You can still download and extract the files without using the command line on MacOS/Linux and Windows by using graphical tools like Finder, File Explorer, or archive managers such as 7-Zip, WinRAR, or The Unarchiver.
