Abstract

Fisheye cameras are commonly employed for obtaining a large field of view in surveillance, augmented reality and in particular automotive applications. In spite of their prevalence, there are few public datasets for detailed evaluation of computer vision algorithms on fisheye images. We release the first extensive fisheye automotive dataset, WoodScape, named after Robert Wood who invented the fisheye camera in 1906. WoodScape comprises of four surround view cameras and nine tasks including segmentation, depth estimation, 3D bounding box detection and soiling detection. Semantic annotation of 40 classes at the instance level is provided for over 10,000 images and annotation for other tasks are provided for over 100,000 images. With WoodScape, we would like to encourage the community to adapt computer vision models for fisheye camera instead of using naive rectification.

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

WoodScape is introduced as a multi-task, multi-camera fisheye dataset for autonomous driving, with four 190° horizontal-FOV cameras, LiDAR, GNSS/IMU, and annotations for nine tasks. It provides baseline results across segmentation, detection, depth, motion, soiling, odometry/SLAM, and 3D boxes, while arguing for native fisheye models rather than undistortion.

Key findings

  • The dataset contains over 10,000 images with instance-level semantic annotation, four 1MPx RGB fisheye cameras covering 360°, one Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR at 20 Hz, GNSS/IMU, and labels for nine tasks including semantic segmentation, 2D/3D detection, depth, motion segmentation, soiling detection, visual odometry/SLAM, and end-to-end driving.
  • Baseline results include ENet segmentation IoU 51.4, Faster R-CNN 2D detection mAP 31 at IoU ≥ 0.5, ResNet10 soiling category precision 84.5%, Eigen depth RMSE 7.7, MODNet motion segmentation IoU 45, visual odometry translation <5 mm 51% and rotation <0.1° 71%, and LSD-SLAM relocalization 61%.
  • For 3D bounding box detection, Complex-YOLO trained with the proposed S_srt metric achieved AP 62.46%, AOS 88.43%, and runtime 1 ms, versus 3D-IoU training with AP 64.38%, AOS 85.60%, and runtime 95 ms, improving training time by 95×.
  • A pre-trained person detector achieved mAP 12 on fisheye images versus 45 for a model trained on WoodScape, which the authors use to argue that fisheye geometry must be handled explicitly.

Methods

  • The dataset was captured from three geographical locations (USA, Europe, China), with highway, urban, and parking scenarios, saloon and sports utility vehicles, and intrinsic/extrinsic calibration plus timestamp synchronization.
  • Annotation covers 40 semantic classes, 5k soiling images, 10k 3D box frames, 400k depth frames, 10k motion segmentation frames, 50 video sequences with over 100k frames for VO/SLAM, 500 end-to-end driving videos, and 10k synthetic frames.
  • Data splitting is 6:1:3 training/validation/testing, with five splits and task-specific stratified splits; sampling uses a wrapper method based on classifier accuracy plus a filter based on image similarity. Baselines use ENet, Faster R-CNN with ResNet101, ResNet10, Eigen, MODNet, LSD-SLAM, and Complex-YOLO.

Limitations

  • The paper states that 2D bounding box detection mAP of 31 is significantly lower than on other datasets and that incorporating fisheye geometry explicitly remains an open research problem.
  • The paper states that spherical models do not accurately fit fisheye lenses and that adapting CNNs to fisheye distortion is an open problem; it also notes that simultaneous annotation is provided for various tasks but with exceptions due to practical limitations of optimal dataset design.
  • The paper states that more than one third of the dataset is recorded in Europe and is GDPR-sensitive due to visible faces and license plates, so it follows a license-agreement approach rather than blurring or GAN retargeting; it also states that end-to-end steering/braking is not currently mature for deployment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
