Abstract 

The Dash Cam Video Dataset is a comprehensive collection of real-world road footage captured across various Indian roads, focusing on lane conditions and traffic dynamics. Indian roads are often characterized by inconsistent lane markings, unstructured traffic flow, and frequent obstructions, making lane detection and traffic identification a challenging task for autonomous vehicle systems. Reliable lane detection is crucial for developing robust Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving models tailored for Indian conditions. This dataset comprises high-quality dash cam videos capturing diverse road environments, including highways, city roads, and rural paths, under varying lighting and weather conditions. The dataset serves as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers working on computer vision-based traffic monitoring, lane detection algorithms, and autonomous vehicle navigation systems, helping to improve safety and efficiency in India's complex traffic ecosystem.

Overview

The Dash Cam Video Dataset is a collection of real-world road footage captured from various locations in India, focusing on lane conditions and traffic scenarios. Given the unique challenges of Indian roads—such as inconsistent lane markings, unstructured traffic, and frequent obstructions—this dataset aims to support research in autonomous vehicle systems, lane detection algorithms, and traffic identification solutions.

Key Features

  • Real-world scenarios: Videos captured from urban, rural, and highway roads.

  • Challenging conditions: Includes footage with poor lane markings, dense traffic, and occlusions.

  • Diverse environments: Day and night recordings, different weather conditions, and varying road surfaces.

  • High-quality videos: Captured with high-resolution dash cameras for better clarity and accuracy.

Data Structure

  • Video Format: MOV

  • Resolution: 1080p 

  • Frame Rate: 30 FPS

  • Duration: 60 Seconds

  • Metadata: Includes timestamps
