This database, Nighttime Vehicle Detection database (NVD), has been gathered from real traffic cameras publicly available from five different locations on highways: Richmond, Walnut, California, Connecticut and Gelderland. The cameras record monochrome video (gray scale) at night, and in the five scenarios, vehicles usually appear with complex illumination patterns and large flashes, instead of well-defined lights.
Samples of the five scenarios:Dataset structure:
Walnut
Connecticut California
Richmond Gelderland
The annotated database has been split into training and test as it can be seen in the link. There is a README here about how to use NVD.
