Dataset Summary

This dataset contains real-world images of Indian vehicles, captured on mobile phones across diverse urban and rural environments throughout India. It is well-suited for training vehicle detection and classification models used in traffic monitoring, autonomous driving, smart city surveillance, automated tolling, and India-specific automotive applications.

Scenes cover a wide variety of road scenarios, including dense city traffic, highways, rural roads, parking lots, and intersections — covering both indoor (parking) and outdoor environments under varied lighting and weather conditions. The dataset captures vehicle types unique to Indian roads, making it especially valuable for models that need to perform reliably in the Indian subcontinent.

Each XML file contains bounding-box annotations in the Pascal VOC format, with filenames matching their corresponding image.

Need a different annotation format? This sample ships in Pascal VOC (XML) only. YOLO, COCO, and TF-Record versions are available on request — see the conversion snippet below, or contact sales@datacluster.ai.

How to Use

Download

# Using the Hugging Face CLI
huggingface-cli download Dataclusterlabspvtltd/Indian-Vehicle-Dataset --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./indian-vehicle-dataset

Or clone directly:

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/Dataclusterlabspvtltd/Indian-Vehicle-Dataset

Convert VOC to YOLO or COCO

The sample ships in Pascal VOC format. Convert easily with pylabel:

from pylabel import importer

# VOC → YOLO
dataset = importer.ImportVOC(path="annotations")
dataset.export.ExportToYoloV5(output_path="annotations_yolo")

# VOC → COCO
dataset.export.ExportToCoco(output_path="annotations_coco/annotations.json")
