About

Deep learning has achieved prominent success in detecting common traffic participants (e.g., cars, pedestrians, and cyclists). Such detectors, however, are generally incapable of detecting novel objects that are not or rarely seen in the training process, generally called (object-level) corner cases, which mainly consist of two categories, namely 1) instance of novel class and 2) novel instance of common class (see an example below). Properly dealing with the corner cases has become the essential key towards reliable autonomous driving perception systems.

We introduce CODA, a novel real-world road corner case dataset for object detection in autonomous driving, consisting of ~10000 carefully selected road driving scenes with image domain tags, well-aligned lidar data and high-quality bounding box annotation for 43 representative object categories. Our CODA is constructed from major real-world object detection datasets, covering diverse driving scenes in cities of both Asia and Europe. Previous state-of-the-art object detectors trained on large-scale autonomous driving datasets suffer from a significant performance drop deployed on CODA base, suggesting that reliable object detection is still far from solved.

We hope CODA can serve as a more challenging benchmark for the community to promote reliable object detection systems in complex real-world driving circumstances. The dataset paper has been released at Arxiv and will be used to hold the ECCV2022 2nd SSLAD chanllege. Check more details in our SSLAD workshop homepage.
