Multi-object urban dataset: A resource for detecting pedestrians, traffic and motorbikes

Abstract

This article describes a dataset comprising 16,426 real-world urban photographs, capturing vehicles, cyclists, motorbikes, and pedestrians across Morning, Evening, and Night scenes. The dataset is valuable for machine learning tasks in traffic analysis, urban planning, and public safety. It enables the development and validation of algorithms for pedestrian detection, traffic flow analysis, and infrastructure optimization. Our main goal is to assist academics, urban planners, and decision-makers in creating sophisticated models for pedestrian safety, traffic control, and accident avoidance. This dataset is a useful resource for training and verifying algorithms targeted at boosting real-time traffic monitoring systems, optimizing urban infrastructure, and raising overall road safety because of its high variability and significant volume. This dataset represents a major advancement for smart city projects and the creation of intelligent transportation systems.
