The SID dataset was curated to support advanced research in autonomous driving systems, particularly focusing on perception under adverse weather and lighting conditions. This dataset encompasses over 178k high-resolution stereo image pairs organized into 27 sequences, reflecting a rich variety of conditions such as snow, rain, fog, and low light. It covers dynamic changes in driving scenarios and environmental backgrounds, including university campuses, residential streets, and urban settings. The dataset is designed to challenge perception algorithms with scenarios such as partially obscured camera lenses and varying visibility, promoting the development of robust computer vision models. No specialized software or scripts are necessary for accessing the image data, as the files are provided in standard PNG format. However, researchers and developers may require their image processing and computer vision toolkits to utilize the dataset effectively in their work.
