Our paper entitled “SVIRO: Synthetic Vehicle Interior Rear Seat Occupancy Dataset and Benchmark” has been accepted for publication at IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV 2020). This paper gives a detailed overview about SVIRO, some baseline investigations to highlight the challenging conditions of our dataset and some results on real images to show that insights on SVIRO are transferable to real images. This launches the release of the dataset and start of the public benchmark.
