{"url":"/dataset/silk","name":"SILK","full_name":"Synth It Like KITTI","description_markdown":"An important factor in advancing autonomous driving systems is simulation. Yet, there is rather small progress for transferability between the virtual and real world. We revisit this problem for 3D object detection on LiDAR point clouds and propose a dataset generation pipeline based on the CARLA simulator. Utilizing domain randomization strategies and careful modeling, we are able to train an object detector on the synthetic data and demonstrate strong generalization capabilities to the KITTI dataset.\r\n\r\nThe dataset contains point clouds and bounding box labels for training 3D object detection.","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/richardmarcus/synth-it-like-kitti","introduced_date":"2025-02-20","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/synth-it-like-kitti-synthetic-data-generation","title":"Synth It Like KITTI: Synthetic Data Generation for Object Detection in Driving Scenarios","first_author":"Richard Marcus","url":null},"license":{"name":"MIT","url":"https://github.com/richardmarcus/synth-it-like-kitti?tab=MIT-1-ov-file#readme"},"modalities":[{"name":"Images","url":"/datasets/modality/images"},{"name":"3D","url":"/datasets/modality/3d"}],"tasks":[{"name":"3D Object Detection","url":"/task/3d-object-detection","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/3d-object-detection"},{"name":"Birds Eye View Object Detection","url":"/task/birds-eye-view-object-detection","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/birds-eye-view-object-detection"}],"languages":[],"variants":["KITTI Cars Hard val","SILK"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":12,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
