Datasets for Self Driving Vehicles: Improving AI for Autonomous Vehicles
What Are Datasets for Autonomous Vehicles?
Datasets for autonomous vehicles can be defined as large collections of sensor data and annotations that are used to train and test self-driving algorithms. The datasets include sensor data like cameras, LiDAR, and radar, along with metadata, like annotations for object detection, semantic segmentation, and high-definition maps.
AnnotationBox can help you get accurate datasets for computer vision used in self-driving technologies. Get in touch with us to get accurate training datasets for your computer vision models.
Data Annotation Techniques for Self Driving Vehicles
We use different techniques to create AI training data for self-driving or electric cars. Here’s a look at the different techniques we use:
Bounding Box for Object Detection
Bounding box annotation is used to create points of reference for object detection. The technique is used to draw bounding boxes over images. In addition to using them as points of reference, they are also used for outlining objects of interest with well-defined coordinates within each image.
3D Cuboid Annotation
3D cuboids are used to distinguish vehicles, pavement, pedestrians, etc. Annotators draw a cube over an object or 2D images to obtain 3D perspectives on height, width, and depth. Further, we ensure that the annotation is done properly and provide the necessary training data for self-driving vehicles.
Semantic Segmentation for Image Classification
The semantic segmentation technique helps AI-based perception models to classify and detect objects of interest properly by segmenting and delineating an image into a region. We also ensure the training datasets to train such AI-based perception models for the smooth functioning of self-driving systems.
3D Point Cloud for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
The technique is also known as 3D LiDAR annotation and is used for labeling, visualization, and tracking. Further, we use the necessary annotation tools to ensure the process is done properly and you get accurately annotated data.
Polygon for Irregular Shapes
The polygon annotation technique helps autonomous vehicles recognize polygon-shaped objects. Our team of vetted annotators ensures proper and accurate data annotation.
Polyline for Lane Detection
We use the polyline annotation technique to define directions, divergences, and sidewalks. These help make self-driving cars recognize streets better. We use tools and human annotators to ensure accurate results for fully autonomous cars.

Understanding the Data Annotation Applications for Autonomous Vehicles
Environmental Perception and Navigation
This is a fundamental application necessary to train the AI of full self-driving cars. It enables the cars to see and understand their surroundings. Techniques used to annotate data for environmental perception and navigation are 3D cuboids and semantic segmentation. We also use sensor fusion annotation for correlating data across different sensor types for accurate 3D tracking.
Regulatory and Safety Compliance
Data annotation for autonomous vehicles also ensures that the vehicle operates legally and safely within the required parameters. The primary focus is to label data precisely for traffic safety administration and signals for correct classification and rules interpretation. Further, polyline annotation is used to improve safety features and ensure the cars understand lanes, road edges, and curbs.
In-Cabin Monitoring and Driver Assistance
Keypoint and landmark annotation detect signs of fatigue, distraction, and drowsiness. Additionally, bounding boxes can verify seatbelt usage and identify the presence of children or pets for appropriate safety system deployment.
Raw Sensor Data Annotation
The process involves annotating data from non-visual sensors. This is crucial for redundancy, most importantly in adverse weather or poor visibility. The radar data needs specialized annotation, including velocity vector/direction tagging, for tracking speed and angle of detected objects.
High-Definition Mapping (HD Map Creation)
Annotation for HD maps helps create the precise, static digital environment necessary for vehicle localization and advanced planning. The annotation process needs proper labeling of static infrastructure elements, like utility poles, traffic sign poles, and curbs, using polygons and attributes.
Complex Behavioral Prediction
This is an advanced application that goes beyond simple object detection to understand what an object might do next. Trajectory annotation is used for drawing the anticipated future paths of pedestrians and vehicles. Action/intention classification is also used to tag if a pedestrian intends to cross or a car intends to turn.
