Bias and Representation: Our group of 74 annotators includes 44 males and 30 females, ranging in age
  from 19 to 77. The age distribution is balanced across three groups  19 to
  30, 31 to 54, and 55 and older. All annotators hold valid U.S. driver’s
  licenses. Their driving experience varies, with approximately 25 percent
  driving around 5,000 miles per year, 40 percent driving about 10,000 miles per
  year, and the remainder exceeding 15,000 miles annually. This diversity
  provides a broad range of perspectives for pedestrian intent estimation and
  reasoning. However, we acknowledge that the dataset is U.S.-centric, as the
  driving scenes were collected from multiple cities across the United States,
  and may not generalize to global contexts.
Privacy and Consent: The dataset does not contain any personally identifiable information. All data
  was collected from public environments and anonymized where necessary. Users
  are responsible for ensuring compliance with local data protection regulations
  when using or sharing the dataset. All video and annotation data were reviewed
  and approved by the Indiana University legal department under an IRB-approved
  protocol. Users must agree to use the dataset solely for research purposes.
  While the current release does not include face or license plate blurring, we
  acknowledge this limitation and plan to implement de-identification and
  anonymization protocols in future updates.
Social Impact and Ethical Considerations: The dataset was collected with careful consideration of data ownership and
  consent. However, users should remain mindful of potential ethical concerns
  when deploying models trained on this data, particularly in sensitive domains
  such as surveillance, hiring, or healthcare. We recognize the risk of
  overfitting models to subjective human reasoning. To help mitigate this, PSI
  includes annotations from a diverse group of annotators and preserves
  disagreements across labels. This approach supports the development of models
  that can reason under uncertainty rather than relying solely on consensus.
Limitations: This dataset provides valuable insights into driver-pedestrian interactions
  and reasoning for autonomous driving research. However, users should be aware
  of several limitations. (1) The dataset is smaller than some large-scale
  benchmarks, which may affect generalization in data-intensive models. (2)
  Geographic scope  all videos were collected in U.S. cities, which may limit
  applicability to regions with different traffic rules, infrastructure, or
  pedestrian behavior. (3) Demographic representation  the dataset may not
  fully capture the diversity of pedestrian demographics, such as age, mobility,
  or clothing styles, which could introduce bias in behavior prediction or
  reasoning. (4) Annotation subjectivity  reasoning or intention annotations
  may reflect annotator bias or interpretation variability, especially in
  ambiguous scenarios. (5) Temporal relevance  the videos may not reflect
  recent advancements in camera technology, changes in traffic behavior, vehicle
  systems, or pedestrian norms, which could affect the dataset’s relevance for
  current autonomous driving systems.

# Pedestrian Situated Intent (PSI) Bencharmark
This Repository contains the scripts and instructions about preparing the **Pedestrian Situated Intent (PSI) 2.0** dataset. 

## Dataset Summary
**HomePage** (http://pedestriandataset.situated-intent.net/)

Prediction of pedestrian behavior is critical for fully autonomous vehicles to drive in busy city streets safely and efficiently. The future autonomous cars need to fit into mixed conditions with not only technical but also social capabilities. It is important to estimate the temporal-dynamic intent changes of the pedestrians, provide explanations of the interaction scenes, and support algorithms with social intelligence.

The IUPUI-CSRC Pedestrian Situated Intent (PSI-1.0) benchmark dataset has two innovative labels besides comprehensive computer vision annotations. The first novel label is the dynamic intent changes for the pedestrians to cross in front of the ego-vehicle, achieved from 24 drivers with diverse backgrounds. The second one is the text-based explanations of the driver reasoning process when estimating pedestrian intents and predicting their behaviors during the interaction period.

PSI-2.0 covers 196 scenes including 110 scenes from PSI-1.0 and contains the labels from 74 new subjects. Additionally PSI-2.0 includes bounding box annotations for traffic objects and agents which can be linked with text descriptions and reasoning explanations for building vision-language models.

These innovative labels can enable computer vision tasks like pedestrian intent/behavior prediction, vehicle-pedestrian interaction segmentation, and video-to-language mapping for explainable algorithms. The dataset also contains driving dynamics and driving decision-making reasoning explanations.

## Supported Tasks
- Pedestrian crossing intent prediction and reasoning generation
- Pedestrian trajectory prediction and reasoning generation
- Driving decision prediction and reasoning generation
- Drivier-pedestrian interaction prediction and cognitive analysis
- Uncertainty of estimation in crowd-sourcing in the autonomous driving domain
- Visual-language matching and causal reasoning
- General classification, object detection, segmentation, and more tasks.

## Dataset Preparation
Download the PSI 2.0 Dataset videos and annotations from Hugging Face or [[PSI Homepage](http://pedestriandataset.situated-intent.net)]. Move *\*.zip* files to the dataset *ROOT_PATH*, and unzip them by 

```shell
    cd ROOT_PATH # e.g., root/Dataset
    unzip '*.zip' -d .
    rm *.zip
```
The extracted folder contains all videos (Train/Val):
-  *ROOT_PATH/PSI_Videos/videos*.

The extracted folder contains all annotations of the PSI 2.0 Dataset (Train/Val)
- *ROOT_PATH/PSI2.0_TrainVal/annotations/cognitive_annotation_key_frame*
- *ROOT_PATH/PSI2.0_TrainVal/annotations/cv_annotation*

and the train/val/test splits:
- *ROOT_PATH/PSI2.0_TrainVal/splits/PSI2_split.json*.

- **Bias and Representativeness**: Our group of 74 annotators includes 44 males and 30 females, ranging in age from 19 to 77. The age distribution is balanced across three groups — 19 to 30, 31 to 54, and 55 and older. All annotators hold valid U.S. driver’s licenses.

We recognize the risk of overfitting models to subjective human reasoning. To help mitigate this, PSI includes annotations from a diverse group of annotators and preserves disagreements across labels. This approach supports the development of models that can reason under uncertainty rather than relying solely on consensus.
- **Limitations**: This dataset provides valuable insights into driver-pedestrian interactions and reasoning for autonomous driving research. However, users should be aware of several limitations.

(5) Temporal relevance — the videos may not reflect recent advancements in camera technology, changes in traffic behavior, vehicle systems, or pedestrian norms, which could affect the dataset’s relevance for current autonomous driving systems.

Researchers and developers are encouraged to consider these limitations when using the dataset and to complement it with additional data sources where possible.
