ABSTRACTDatasets are one of the key elements which determine the performance of a deep learning network. Urban environments datasets receive much attention nowadays due to the rise of autonomous cars but off-road environment on the other hand lacks quality datasets. Offroad environments need equal attention as only 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas. This paper tackles this issue to close the gap of robotic visual perception on the beach, one of the common offroad environments that lack attention by presenting a real and synthetic dataset, namely BCRobo.
