Self-driving cars must be able to operate safely under various environmental conditions, including challenging weather conditions like fog, rain or snow, as well as in different times of day. Collecting reliable real-world training data for these conditions is even more challenging than in favourable weather conditions, due to the unpredictability of weather and safety conditions. To tackle these problems, this project aims to build upon the GTAV game engine to create synthetic datasets to supplement the existing inclement weather datasets, as well as to investigate and analyse the viability of using this form of synthetic dataset to train detection models for real life scenes.
