1. 3MDAD : Multimodal Multiview and Multispectral Driver Action Dataset

A. Description :

This Novel Public Dataset for Multimodal Multiview and Multispectral Driver Distraction Analysis is the result of collaboration between :

- Pr. Mohamed Ali MAHJOUB, Dr. Anouar BEN KHALIFA and Miss Imen JEGHAM from Laboratory of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Systems (LATIS)-National Engineering School of Sousse, Tunisia.

- Pr. Ihsen ALOUANI from the Polytechnic University Hauts-De-France.

The 3MDAD dataset is mainly composed of two real-world driving sets: the first one recorded at daytime and the second one at nighttime. Each set consists of two synchronised data modalities, each from frontal and side views. Two Microsoft Kinect cameras are employed. The first Kinect is mounted on the car handle on the top of the passenger window, and the second is placed on the dashboard in front of the driver.

  • 3MDAD (Day) provides temporally synchronized RGB frames and depth frames. 50 participants (38 males and 12 females) aged between 19 and 41 were asked to drive the vehicle.

  • 3MDAD (Night) provdes temporally synchronized IR frames and depth frames. 19 participants (11 males and 8 females) aged between 19 and 53 were asked to drive the vehicle.
