| # CARScenes |
|
|
| CARScenes is an annotation-only dataset and benchmark for structured scene understanding and failure analysis in autonomous driving. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
| - Version: `carscenes-v1` |
| - Records: `5,192` |
| - Sources: Argoverse1, Cityscapes, KITTI, nuScenes |
| - Release type: annotations, schema, split manifests, benchmark tooling, Croissant metadata |
|
|
| ## Public Links |
| - GitHub: `https://github.com/Croquembouche/CARScenes` |
| - Paper PDF: `https://github.com/Croquembouche/CARScenes/tree/main/paper/output` |
|
|
| ## What Is Included |
| - Canonical JSONL annotations |
| - Machine-readable schema |
| - Fixed split manifests |
| - Gold benchmark split and agreement subset manifests |
| - Croissant metadata |
| - Evaluation and validation scripts |
|
|
| ## What Is Not Included |
| - Upstream source images are not redistributed |
| - Users must obtain the original images under the original dataset licenses and terms |
|
|
| ## Source Pool Scope |
| - The released universe is the pre-annotation candidate pools stored in the CARScenes release artifacts, not the full upstream corpora. |
| - Those candidate pools were created from downsampled / decimated front-camera subsets before annotation. |
| - They are not exhaustive copies of the source datasets and are not intended to be statistically representative samples. |
| - The exact historical decimation recipe is not claimed as part of the benchmark specification. |
|
|
| ## Splits |
| - `train`: 4,592 records |
| - `dev-500`: 500 records |
| - `gold-test-100`: 100 records |
| - `gold-agreement-25`: 25 records |

|
|
| This license does not cover source images from Argoverse1, Cityscapes, KITTI, or nuScenes, which remain under their original licenses. |

|
| ## Benchmark Use |
| - Use `dev-500` for prompt selection or pilot calibration. |
| - Use `gold-test-100` for headline model reporting. |
| - Use `gold-agreement-25` only for independent second-pass agreement analysis. |
