ICPR 2024 Competition on Safe Segmentation of Drive Scenes in Unstructured Traffic and Adverse Weather Conditions

The ICPR 2024 Competition on Safe Segmentation of Drive Scenes in Unstructured Traffic and Adverse Weather Conditions served as a rigorous platform to evaluate and benchmark state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models under challenging conditions for autonomous driving. Over several months, participants were provided with the IDD-AW dataset, consisting of 5000 high-quality RGB-NIR image pairs, each annotated at the pixel level and captured under adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, low light, and snow. A key aspect of the competition was the use and improvement of the Safe mean Intersection over Union (Safe mIoU) metric, designed to penalize unsafe incorrect predictions that could be overlooked by traditional mIoU.
