Dataset plays an essential role in the training and testing of traffic vision algorithms. However, the collection and annotation of images from the real world is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. Therefore, more and more researchers have begun to explore the virtual dataset, to overcome the disadvantages of real datasets. In this paper, we propose a systematic method to construct large-scale artificial scenes and collect a new virtual dataset (named ParallelEye) for the traffic vision research. The Unity3D rendering software is used to simulate environmental changes in the artificial scenes and generate ground-truth labels automatically, including semantic/instance segmentation, object bounding boxes, and so on. In addition, we utilize ParallelEye in combination with real datasets to conduct experiments. The experimental results show the inclusion of virtual data helps to enhance the per-class accuracy in object detection and semantic segmentation. Meanwhile, it is also illustrated that the virtual data with controllable imaging conditions can be used to design evaluation experiments flexibly.
