To address this, we have developed a comprehensive dataset composed of sensor data acquired in a real test track and reproduced in the laboratory for the same test scenarios. The provided dataset includes camera, radar, LiDAR, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and GPS data recorded under adverse weather conditions (rainy, night-time, and snowy conditions). We recorded test scenarios using objects of interest such as car, cyclist, truck and pedestrian -- some of which are inspired by EURONCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme). The sensor data generated in the laboratory is acquired by the execution of simulation-based tests in hardware-in-the-loop environment with the digital twin of each real test scenario. The dataset contains more than 2 hours of recording, which totals more than 280GB of data. Therefore, it is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of autonomous vehicles to test and improve their algorithms in adverse weather conditions, as well as explore the simulation-to-reality gap.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CristofoliDuarteSilvaFunkDrechslerPolednaetal.2023, author = {Crist{\´o}foli Duarte Silva, Let{\´i}cia and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Poledna, Yuri and Huber, Werner and Antonio Fiorentin, Thiago}, title = {Synthetic Extreme Weather for AI Training: Concept and Validation}, booktitle = {Proceedings: 2023 Third International Conference on Digital Data Processing, DDP 2023}, editor = {Ariwa, Ezendu and Fong, Simon}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3503-2901-8}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/DDP60485.2023.00044}, pages = {188 -- 194}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PolednaRewayFunkDrechsleretal.2023, author = {Poledna, Yuri and Reway, Fabio and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Huber, Werner and Icking, Christian and Parente Ribeiro, Eduardo}, title = {An Open-Source High-Level Fusion Algorithm in ROS for Automated Driving Applications}, booktitle = {Proceedings: 2022 10th International Conference in Software Engineering Research and Innovation (CONISOFT 2022)}, editor = {Ju{\´a}rez-Ram{\´i}rez, Reyes and Fern{\´a}ndez y Fern{\´a}ndez, Carlos and Perez Gonzalez, Hector G. and Ram{\´i}rez-Noriega, Alan and Jim{\´e}nez, Samantha and Guerra-Garc{\´i}a, C{\´e}sar and Licea Sandoval, Guillermo}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Los Alamitos}, isbn = {978-1-6654-6126-9}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/CONISOFT55708.2022.00031}, pages = {174 -- 181}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CapdevilaVitorinoPolednaetal.2024, author = {Capdevila, Marc Gonz{\`a}lez and Vitorino, Natanael and Poledna, Yuri and Malena, Bruno and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Albuquerque, Gustavo G. and Furlan, Tales and Netto, Roberto S.}, title = {Smart\&Safe Mobility Lab: Mixed Reality Environment with HIL, CV2X for VRU Detection}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE 13th International Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet)}, editor = {Mattos, Diogo Menezes Ferrazani and Moraes, Igor Monteiro and Nguyen, Thi Mai Trang and de Souza Couto, Rodrigo and Rubinstein, Marcelo Goncalves}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3503-7656-2}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/CloudNet62863.2024.10815791}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PereiraPolednaParenteRibeiroetal.2019, author = {Pereira, J.

abstract = {Sensor degradation poses a significant challenge in autonomous driving. During heavy rainfall, interference from raindrops can adversely affect the quality of LiDAR point clouds, resulting in, for instance, inaccurate point measurements. This, in turn, can potentially lead to safety concerns if autonomous driving systems are not weather-aware, i.e., if they are unable to discern such changes. In this study, we release a new, large-scale, multi-modal emulated rain dataset, REHEARSE-3D, to promote research advancements in 3D point cloud de-raining. Distinct from the most relevant competitors, our dataset is unique in several respects. First, it is the largest point-wise annotated dataset (9.2 billion annotated points), and second, it is the only one with high-resolution LiDAR data (LiDAR-256) enriched with 4D RADAR point clouds logged in both daytime and nighttime conditions in a controlled weather environment. Furthermore, REHEARSE-3D involves rain-characteristic information, which is of significant value not only for sensor noise modeling but also for analyzing the impact of weather at the point level. Leveraging REHEARSE-3D, we benchmark raindrop detection and removal in fused LiDAR and 4D RADAR point clouds. Our comprehensive study further evaluates the performance of various statistical and deep learning models, where SalsaNext and 3D-OutDet achieve above 94\% IoU for raindrop detection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeiJiangChanetal.2026, author = {Wei, Zixiang and Jiang, Yunruo and Chan, Pak Hung and Wang, Yiting and Poledna, Yuri and Donzella, Valentina}, title = {Darwick: A Paired Dataset in Low-Light Driving Scenarios for Advanced Perceptual Enhancement and Benchmarking Assessment}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE 27th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3315-0592-9}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ITSC58415.2024.11414063}, year = {2026}, language = {en} }
