NINA Dataset

Dataset Overview

Dataset Name

Naturalistic IN‑vehicle Audio Dataset (NINA)

Dataset Content

NINA dataset contains sounds generated inside and outside vehicles (e.g., electric‑vehicle alarm sounds). These sounds were mainly recorded via dashcams or smartphone microphones, and because the environment is uncontrolled, the dataset does not include vehicle speed, recording device model, or microphone details.

Dataset Classification

Dataset Files

• datasetCreation.sh: main script file
• youtube_IDs.csv: list of YouTube videos
• labels: folder containing txt files, each with annotations [start time] [end time] [category]

Dataset Usage

By running bash datasetCreation.sh ./labels/ ./output, an output folder is created containing subfolders for each category, each populated with wav files.

Contribution / Extension

Contributors can extend the dataset by adding new YouTube video IDs and related titles to the youtube_IDs.csv file and annotating audio using Audacity or other tools.
