LIDARDataBox : Depth Estimation Dataset Downloader

This repository contains scripts for downloading depth estimation datasets, including KITTI, DIODE, SUNRGBD, and soon to include others like NYUv2. The tool is designed to efficiently download RGB images and their corresponding depth maps, which are essential for depth estimation research and projects.

Project Overview

This script was developed by Mohammed Chaouki ZIARA as part of his Ph.D. research at the RCAM Laboratory, Djilali Liabes University - Algeria.

The tool is specifically designed for use in depth estimation tasks, accelerating dataset acquisition for training and testing models in this field.

Datasets Currently Supported:

• KITTI: KITTI Dataset (Autonomous driving dataset)
• DIODE: DIODE Dataset (Indoor and outdoor depth dataset)
• SUNRGBD: SUNRGBD Dataset (Scene understanding dataset)

Future Additions:

• NYUv2 : Download here , visit the official dataset
• Make3D: Coming soon

Requirements

Before running the script, ensure the following dependencies are installed:

• GNU Parallel: Recommended for faster dataset processing, particularly for the KITTI dataset cleanup. Install by following the instructions Here
• Unzip : Required to extract dataset files

  sudo apt-get install unzip
  

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/chaouki-ai/LIDAR-DATABOX
cd LIDAR-DATABOX
chmod +x ./LIDARDataBox.sh

2. Start downloading the datasets: in order to download Kitti, Diode and SunRGBD datasets :

./LIDARDataBox.sh 

3. Optional : if you would like to download only one or multiple dataset you can use the following arguments : diode , kitti or SunRGBD.
   
   for example to download, kitti and diode datasets :

./LIDARDataBox.sh kitti diode
