FRED: First Multi-Modal Dataset for Flooded Road Autonomous Driving

other · 2026-05-23

The Flooded Road Environments Dataset (FRED) represents the inaugural multi-modal dataset for autonomous driving that focuses on water-related hazards on roadways. It comprises images taken with a 2.3 MP FLIR Blackfly USB3 camera, point clouds generated by a 64-beam Ouster OS1-64 LiDAR, and IMU data from an iXblue ATLANS-C, corrected using Geoflex RTK GNSS. Data collection occurred at five sites during and following flooding incidents. The dataset is available in both KITTI-style and RTMaps formats, complete with semantic labels for identifying water hazards. Additionally, it includes position, velocity, and data from dry conditions to aid in location-based detection techniques.
