Key Points

  • To create a large-scale, diverse, and globally representative street-scene dataset to benchmark semantic and instance-specific image segmentation algorithms.
  • Compiled 25,000 high-resolution street-level images captured worldwide across diverse weather conditions, seasons, times of day, and imaging devices (mobile phones, action cameras, professional rigs).
  • Applied dense, fine-grained polygon annotations across 66 object categories, including instance-specific labeling for 37 classes.
  • Generated a street-scene dataset providing 5× more fine annotations than existing standard benchmarks such as Cityscapes.
  • Established default benchmark tasks for semantic and instance-specific segmentation under varied geographic and environmental conditions.

Abstract

The Mapillary Vistas Dataset is a novel, large-scale street-level image dataset containing 25000 high-resolution images annotated into 66 object categories with additional, instance-specific labels for 37 classes. Annotation is performed in a dense and fine-grained style by using polygons for delineating individual objects. Our dataset is 5× larger than the total amount of fine annotations for Cityscapes and contains images from all around the world, captured at various conditions regarding weather, season and daytime. Images come from different imaging devices (mobile phones, tablets, action cameras, professional capturing rigs) and differently experienced photographers. In such a way, our dataset has been designed and compiled to cover diversity, richness of detail and geographic extent. As default benchmark tasks, we define semantic image segmentation and instance-specific image segmentation, aiming to significantly further the development of state-of-the-art methods for visual road-scene understanding.
