lidar absolute pose regression

The Oxford Radar RobotCar Dataset is a radar extension to The Oxford RobotCar Dataset. It has been extended with data from a Navtech CTS350-X Millimetre-Wave FMCW radar and Dual Velodyne HDL-32E LIDARs with optimised ground truth radar odometry for 280 km of driving around Oxford, UK (in addition to all sensors in the original Oxford RobotCar Dataset).

This dataset comprehends the 3D building information model (in IFC and Revit formats), manually elaborated based on the terrestrial laser scanner of the sequence 2 of ConSLAM, and the refined ground truth (GT) poses (in TUM format) of sessions 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the open-access ConSLAM dataset (which provides camera, LiDAR, and IMU measurements). This dataset enables the evaluation of pose estimation algorithms, such as localization, odometry, SLAM, and Bundle adjustment. Given the differences between the real-world and the 3D reference BIM model (Scan-Map deviations), the dataset is appropriate for evaluating long-term localization and mapping capabilities, i.e., methods that are robust to changes in the environment. In particular, in a real-world construction environment with normal clutter (not as in the Hilti dataset).

ConSLAM is a real-world dataset collected periodically on a construction site to measure the accuracy of mobile scanners' SLAM algorithms. The dataset contains time-synchronized and spatially registered RGB and NIR images and 360-deg LiDAR scans, 9-axis IMU measurements, and professional ground-truth terrestrial laser scans. This dataset reflects the periodic need to scan construction sites with the aim of accurately monitoring progress using a hand-held scanner. The sensors used for data acquisition are: - LiDAR: Velodyne VLP-16. - RGB camera: Alvium U-319c, 3.2 MP. - NIR camera: Alvium 1800 U-501, 5.0 MP. - 9-axis IMU: Xsens MTi-610.
