HRDX - Honda Research Institute USA
Introduction
HRDX is a large-scale dataset for vector HD-map construction, collected across diverse urban, suburban, and freeway environments in the San Francisco Bay Area. Spanning 40+ hours and 1,400 km of minimally overlapping drives — roughly six times larger than the next-largest public HD-map dataset — it is captured with a fully calibrated, time-synchronized multi-sensor suite and uniquely complemented by precisely aligned aerial orthoimagery.
- Six synchronized surround cameras, a 128-beam LiDAR, and centimeter-level RTK GNSS/IMU, all cross-calibrated and time-synchronized for pixel-accurate fusion.
- Precisely aligned aerial orthoimagery at up to 8 cm/pixel, sourced from public county databases — freely redistributable, unlike Google-tile augmentations.
- 10 vector map classes: lane centerlines, lane lines, stop lines, road boundaries, crosswalks, bike lanes, parking spots, non-drivable areas, intersection centerlines, and road-surface text.
- 20+ semantic and topological attributes, including lane color and style, intersection turn types, and a rich taxonomy of road-surface markings (arrows, STOP, YIELD, keep-clear).
- Long, contiguous temporal sequences spanning hours — not fixed-length clips — enabling evaluation of online mapping under sustained drift and error accumulation.
- Benchmarks and a Composite Score (CS) metric that jointly assesses geometric fidelity and attribute correctness.

Data Format
Drives are segmented into scenes. Each scene is a continuous, time-synchronized sequence with multi-camera images, LiDAR, ego pose, aligned aerial imagery, and continuous HD vector-map annotations.
