Sensor overview

High-level sensor availability before the detailed sensor records below.

Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Ground-truth references for AgriLiRa4D
Scope Method Reference system Count Rate Coverage Reference provenance
External
Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.
Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.
Hybrid
Combines independent reference equipment with onboard measurements.

Accuracy notes
Device claims: better than 2 cm + 1 ppm (50% CEP); roll/pitch 0.01° and yaw 0.05° (1σ). These are not independently validated dataset trajectory bounds.
Reference notes
Single fiber-optic INS/RTK source distributed as ENU/FLU pose and LLH position products, not three independent references. ENU, FLU and FRD conventions must be respected.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

Released CAD-derived extrinsics, factory LiDAR–IMU transform and manual corner-reflector refinement for LiDAR/radar. Public raw calibration sessions are not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Agricultural vegetation and repetitive low-structure geometry challenge registration.

Altitude datums and configured flight speeds vary by terrain/mode.

Reference precision is stated as device specifications, not independently validated dataset error bounds.

Additional seasons, crops, night and weather diversity are future work.

Calibration parameters and noise settings are released, but raw corner-reflector recordings and independently measured timing error remain unknown. Native IMU component rates are distinct from the documented 200 Hz ROS output.
