# 🛣️ EuroRoads, a free to use European road dataset

A high-resolution collection of **13.7 thousand road scene images** captured across the **Netherlands (Limburg)**, **Germany**, and **Belgium**.
The dataset focuses on realistic driving environments ranging from highways to small rural paths — designed for use in computer vision tasks such as segmentation, detection, or autonomous driving simulation.

## 🗺️ Description

This dataset provides **sharp and detailed** images captured in various European environments and weather conditions.
It covers a wide range of road types:

* 🚗 **Highways and intercity roads**
* 🚙 **Regular city and suburban roads**
* 🚜 **Narrow paths and village streets**
* 🌳 **Paved roads through nature**

All images were captured at **1-second intervals**, with **long idle pauses removed** (red lights). The result is a mostly unfiltered, time-consistent dataset.
All images have kept their original file names and metadata, although location information is excluded.

---

## 🧭 Geographic Context

* **Primary Region:** Limburg, Netherlands
* **Additional Regions:** Adjacent areas in **Germany** and **Belgium**
* **Environment Mix:** Urban → rural → nature-paved roads

---

## 📷 Image Characteristics

* Captured using **high-end mobile sensors** (Xiaomi 14/15 Ultra)
* **Auto mode** exposure and focus
* **1:1 aspect ratio** optimized for dataset uniformity
* Possible **inconsistencies in motion blur or lighting** due to automatic settings
* **No filtering or labeling** beyond removal of long idle periods

## 🚧 Work in Progress

This dataset is **actively being expanded and refined**.
Future releases *may* include:

* Filtered subsets (e.g., motion blur score, weather condition, time of day)
* Semantic annotations or segmentation masks
