Next-generation 3D object detection and tracking for self-driving vehicles using object velocity

The synthetic dataset was generated using KITTI-like specifications and annotations format. It is comprised by the training and testing sets, that include KITTI standard folders: label_2, image_2 and calib. Furthermore, there is a velodyne file for each of the following use cases: Point cloud 1: (x,y,z, (Float)Radial_Velocity): this point cloud has the relative radial velocity as an additional feature for each point. File: velodyne_radial_velocity; Point cloud 2: (x,y,z,(Float)Absolute_Speed): in this point cloud, every point has the absolute speed of the object as the additional feature. File: velodyne_abs_speed; Point cloud 3: (x,y,z,(Bool)Is_Moving): the additional feature of this point cloud is a Boolean value that is set to 1.0 if the object is moving; contrariwise, it is set to 0.0 for static objects. File: velodyne_is_moving; Point cloud 4: (x,y,z,0): no additional feature information. If desired, requires post-processing to convert to (x,y,z) or changing the toolbox point cloud configuration to not consider the additional feature. File: velodyne_xyz; Additionally, the detections generated with the OpenPCDet toolbox and Second-IoU model are provided. This work was made as part of a master thesis of Informatics Engineering in the University of Aveiro.
