Traffic Node Video Dataset 2.0

Enhanced Vehicle Trajectory Extraction with YOLO11x and Map-Based Geometric Correction

An updated dataset and software framework for extracting, cleaning, transforming and analysing road-user trajectories from real-world traffic surveillance videos.

About the research

Traffic Node Video Dataset 2.0 extends the previously published Traffic Node Video Dataset and preserves its original purpose: providing reusable video and trajectory data for traffic analysis, modelling and movement prediction. The new release updates the complete processing chain and introduces a reproducible map-based correction workflow.

The dataset contains recordings from eight traffic scenes, including signalised intersections, roundabouts and a pedestrian-oriented urban plaza. Object detections, tracked trajectories, cleaned trajectories, transformation data and software examples are published together so that the processing stages can be inspected and repeated.

Software framework

Dataset loader

Loads manifests, per-video detections and trajectory records for Python-based analysis.

Trajectory visualisation

Plots raw, filtered, filled, smoothed and geometrically corrected trajectories.

Filtering and outlier analysis

Removes short, low-motion or application-specific trajectories and inspects OPTICS outliers.

Filling and smoothing

Interpolates missing detections and stabilises position, bounding-box and motion features.

Homography transformation

Estimates image-to-map transformation and calculates inverse projection and reprojection error.

Isotropic normalisation

Applies one shared spatial scale to preserve the relative geometry of the coordinate axes.

Sample code and notebooks

The repository contains executable examples for dataset loading, trajectory visualisation, filtering, filling, smoothing, homography estimation and normalisation.

Future Transportation HG-SMG-TC revision

Homography-guided semantic maneuver graph trajectory clustering

A manuscript-specific public reproducibility package is available for the revised Future Transportation study on five Bellevue intersections. It includes frozen protocols, reproducibility code, compact result tables, final evidence figures, reference-label documentation, homography quality summaries and OneDrive staging documentation for large redistributable artifacts.

Dataset access

Storage note. The full-resolution videos and generated trajectory packages are hosted on OneDrive because their size exceeds the practical limits of the GitHub repository. The public folder remains stable while individual files are updated.
