Pedestrian Intention Estimation (PIE) Dataset

Download Paper

PIE is a new dataset for studying pedestrian behavior in traffic. PIE contains over 6 hours of footage recorded in typical traffic scenes with on-board camera. It also provides accurate vehicle information from OBD sensor (vehicle speed, heading direction and GPS coordinates) synchronized with video footage.
Rich spatial and behavioral annotations are available for pedestrians and vehicles that potentially interact with the ego-vehicle as well as for the relevant elements of infrastructure (traffic lights, signs and zebra crossings).
There are over 300K labeled video frames with 1842 pedestrian samples making this the largest publicly available dataset for studying pedestrian behavior in traffic.

PIE Features


Continuous Footage

6 hours of HD video are recorded with on-board camera at 30 FPS and split into approximately 10 minute chunks.

Spatial Annotations

Bounding boxes are provided for 1842 pedestrians and vehicles that interact with the driver, as well as for elements of infrastructure (traffic lights, signs, zebra crossings, road boundaries).

Behavioral Annotations

Behavior tags are provided for each pedestrian per frame, including actions like walking, standing, crossing, looking (at the traffic), etc.

Vehicle Information

Accurate ego-vehicle information from OBD sensor is available for each frame of the video. It includes speed, GPS coordinates and heading direction.

Intention Annotations

We conducted a large scale human experiment to determine early crossing intention of the 1842 annotated pedestrians. For each pedestrian we provide intention probability aggregated from the responses of human subjects.

Variety of scenarios

Videos were recorded in the streets of Toronto with different crowd densities ranging from busy one-way streets to wide boulevards.
