The Waymo Open Dataset (WOD), sometimes referred to as the Perception Dataset, is a large-scale, diverse, multimodal dataset of 2,030 driving scenes (or segments), each spanning 20 seconds. Each scene contains synchronized and calibrated LiDAR and camera data across a range of urban and suburban environments.
The Waymo Open Dataset is intended for research in autonomous driving technologies, and contains data that can be used to research machine perception and sensor fusion.
