This repository contains data and tools for the 360_Bangkok project, which captures panoramic street-view video from a motorcyclist's perspective across Bangkok.
Between December 18, 2022, and January 16, 2023, we recorded routine journeys on a motorcycle between Phaya Thai district and Chulalongkorn University (central Bangkok) using a GoPro Max camera in 360° video mode (5.6K resolution, 30 fps). These trips, taken at various times (peak and off-peak, weekdays and weekends), pose no additional risk to the rider.
The resulting dataset provides a full 360° view of Bangkok’s street scenes from a helmet-mounted perspective. Example locations are marked with green dots on the map below, and sample frames (left) alongside object-detection outputs (right) are shown in Figure 1.
