Datasets drive vision progress, yet existing driving datasets are impoverished in terms of visual content and supported tasks to study multitask learning for autonomous driving. Researchers are usually constrained to study a small set of problems on one dataset, while real-world computer vision applications require performing tasks of various complexities. We construct BDD100K, the largest driving video dataset with 100K videos and 10 tasks to evaluate the exciting progress of image recognition algorithms on autonomous driving. The dataset possesses geographic, environmental, and weather diversity, which is useful for training models that are less likely to be surprised by new conditions. Based on this diverse dataset, we build a benchmark for heterogeneous multitask learning and study how to solve the tasks together. Our experiments show that special training strategies are needed for existing models to perform such heterogeneous tasks. BDD100K opens the door for future studies in thi

The Multi-Object and Segmentation (MOTS) benchmark [2] consists of 21 training sequences and 29 test sequences. It is based on the KITTI Tracking Evaluation 2012 and extends the annotations to the Multi-Object and Segmentation (MOTS) task. To this end, we added dense pixel-wise segmentation labels for every object. We evaluate submitted results using the metrics HOTA, CLEAR MOT, and MT/PT/ML. We rank methods by HOTA [1]. Our development kit and GitHub evaluation code provide details about the data format as well as utility functions for reading and writing the label files. (adapted for the segmentation case). Evaluation is performed using the code from the TrackEval repository.
