San Fernando Valley | 1,305 4K Video Clips | 360° POV Driving Footage

Data Product Features

Usage

• Generative video (text-to-video, image-to-video): real, stable 4K camera motion through real streets, with rich metadata for balanced training sets and accurate captions.
• World models and driving simulation: all 9 angles are recorded at the same moment, so models can learn how a scene stays consistent across viewpoints and over time.
• Autonomous driving and ADAS: varied road environments for pre-training and domain generalization.
• Gaussian splats and 3D reconstruction: the nodal 360-degree rig captures overlapping views from 9 synchronized cinema cameras at once. With calibration and approximate route tracks available on request, it works well for Gaussian splats, NeRFs and multi-view 3D reconstruction.

Technical Details

• Rig: 9 synchronized cinema cameras: 8 nodal horizontal cameras at 45-degree intervals plus one overhead camera, shot on Panasonic GH4 cameras (8-bit 4:2:0, 100 Mbit) with the Lumix 12-35mm lens at 12 mm, 4096x2160 (C4K), 23.976 fps. Horizontal field of view is about 65°, so neighboring angles overlap by about 20°.
• Sync: all 9 angles of every set share matching timecode and in/out points.
• Camera calibration: nominal intrinsics for both camera models are included. Calibrated intrinsics and rig extrinsics are available on request, solved per shoot season (the rig was unchanged through 2018–19). Lens optical stabilization was on to reduce road vibration.
• Location: every clip is logged with the street traveled, start and end cross streets, and direction. Approximate route tracks (1-second latitude/longitude/heading, GPX or CSV, reconstructed from those logs against OpenStreetMap) are available on request. The footage has no recorded GPS.
• Rights and privacy: self-shot on public roads and 100% owned; nothing scraped or licensed in. Members of the public, vehicles and license plates appear incidentally, and no blurring has been applied. Licensees are responsible for complying with privacy laws in their own jurisdictions.

Coverage

• Geographic Coverage: Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Van Nuys, North Hollywood and Mulholland Drive.
• Time Range: February 15-22, 2019.

Who Can Use It

• AI labs and video-generation teams: for training and evaluating generative video and world models.
• Autonomous driving and robotics teams: for perception pre-training and testing in new road environments.
• 3D and mapping teams: for Gaussian splats, NeRFs, digital twins and visual place recognition.
• Researchers: for academic or scientific studies (academic licenses available on request).
